A Clear Sky in the Great Expanse of Being
The vast sky needs no explanation.
I was born in the Dra Valley and raised in the wind of solitude. Logic and debate once filled my days, until a ragged hermit taught me the silence beyond thought. I have lived in caves, written by lamplight, and walked through exile with the Dharma as my only companion. Now, at fifty-six, I finish my final words. The end is no surprise. It is simply the next breath.
What I'm Into: the silence between thoughts, cave retreats, a pen and lamplight, my children's faces, the Dzogchen heart
What's in my brain: Dzogchen teachings on the nature of mind, tantric practice, and spiritual liberation, including the Seven Treasuries, the Nyingthig Yabshi, and over 270 treatises composed in deep retreat.
