Surya Das gives a lucid discourse on some of the habits and thought patterns that lead us away from the clear vision of the View. He explains that there is no waiting or hoping, no comparing or competing within Dzogchen meditation. The practice is more about non-doing as we learn to leave it as it is. Question and answer topics include the nature of the mind, working with arising thoughts, and striving within meditation.
