Chöying 12 — The Primordial Space of Reality

Chöying no. 12 — The Primordial Space of Reality, by Jean-Luc Achard, translated from the french by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., 12 pages. 

The notion of Space (dbyings) is an essential theme of the Great Perfection. It is intimately related to that of the Awareness of the Natural State through the expression “Space-Awareness” (dbyings rig). This Space is not only that of the empty Reality of one’s primordial Essence but chiefly that of the visionary wonders that characterize the dynamic aspect of one’s true nature.

Chöying # 11 — The Lord of Awareness

Chöying no. 11 — The Lord of Awareness, by Jean-Luc Achard, translated from the french by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., 13 pages.

The Awareness of the Natural State is presented in various ways in the Dzogchen teachings. Here, it is described as a sovereign sitting in his palace, in union with his noble Spouse symbolizing Contemplation, etc. The topic of Awareness is intimately related to that of Self-Arisen Wisdom whose true expression is described in minute details so as to enable one to distinguish it from the elaborations of the saṃsāric mind.

Chöying no. 10 — The Celestial Expanse of the Great Primordial Display, by Jean-Luc Achard, translated from the French by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., April 2019, 15 pages.


The Expanse of the Natural State is the original Space of the Mind itself abiding as the marvel of undifferentiated Emptiness and Clarity. These representations reside at the heart of the principles called to mind by the master during the direct introduction, and entail a very precise understanding of the terms that are used to enunciate it. This booklet presents the meaning of these principles according to the Great Perfection, combining theory with direct understanding.

Chöying no. 9 — The Dreamlike Nature of Delusion

Chöying no. 9 — The Dreamlike Nature of Delusion, by Jean-Luc Achard, translated from the French by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., 16 pages.

Examining the nature of delusion (‘khrul pa) lies at the very core of the practice of the Great Perfection. Ultimately, it leads to the understanding of the nature of phenomena as well as that of the nature of the mind. It also enables one to comprehend the differences between the unconditioned Natural State of Dzogchen and the conditioned state of the Dzogchenpa. Such an understanding is indeed crucial in order to penetrate the nature of Awareness (rig pa).
