Dzogchen
Dzogchen (Tibetan, translated from the Sanskrit Mahasandhi) has at least 2 meanings:
- The primordial state of every sentient being.
- Teaching. Dzogchen is a teaching that gives paths to discover the primordial state and develop it to achieve realization (enlightenment). In Tibet Dzogchen is considered an advanced and secret teaching on nonduality, i.e. it is thought to be the absolute/ultimate teaching of pure and total awareness (see also Buddhist: first taught by Guru Garab Dorje
- Bön (Bon)
According to the first historical teacher of Nyingma Dzogchen lineage, Tibetan Buddhism Dzogchen is practiced mainly by the Nyingma school, although all four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism practice it to some extent.
