Notes
Dzogchen is a directly accessible tradition that can be practiced in a variety of ways in our daily lives, focusing on achieving liberation from suffering and the means to achieve it.
In this episode, we explore how our digital habits contribute to feelings of loneliness, and how the Dzogchen tradition can shed light on this dynamic—not as a problem to be eliminated, but as an opportunity to get to know ourselves better.
