Always be connected to the roots of Dzogchen<\/h2>\n
Preserving all aspects of the Dzogchen tradition is one of the three main missions of the Dzogchen Today!

Its preservation is essential for the tradition to continue to be fully alive and to bring its benefits to as many beings as possible.
\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Traditional Texts” open_toggle_text_color=”#121516″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#121516″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#bfbfbf” open_icon_color=”#bfbfbf” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font=”Pathway Gothic One||||||||” title_font_size=”24px” title_letter_spacing=”3px” body_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||15px|” custom_css_toggle_title=”padding-top: 5px !important;” custom_css_toggle_icon=”font-size: 24px !important;” global_colors_info=”{}”]The preservation of fundamental texts, commentaries and writings on the practices is fundamental because they represent the second main support for the vitality of the tradition along with oral transmission.

It is the most difficult to preserve.

The traditional ritual of the Great Perfection may be less relevant today, but it is important to preserve it, at least in its original cultures.
