“No one knows what a body can do” wrote Spinoza*<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a human body. An old philosopher’s statement, even if it is for once very concrete. No one knows? Well, yes, the Dzogchen apparently knows! He who brings many answers \u2014 including the most surprising ones (you can read Johanne\u2019s post about this<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

First of all, a human body is easy to find, since we see so many of them around us. But when you think about it, you realize that it is rather rare (as Paul said in his article<\/a> )<\/em> and above all very precious. This is what the Dzogchen says.<\/p>\n

For sure, sometimes we would like to fly in the air and soar like an eagle; to immerse ourselves in the seas, to explore the abysses of the deep sea. A life of a fly or a mosquito? There is often less interest… What a diversity among the living beings of this earth!<\/p>\n

But why not accepting what we are, fully; what we have: a precious human life, with all its capacities? And make the best use of it, beyond anything we could imagine \u2014 this is one of the proposals put forward by the Dzogchen tradition. Banal? Not so sure…<\/p>\n

For it can walk, talk and dance, this body \u2014 breathe, hear, see and touch, this precious body. So let us rejoice in such miracles!<\/p>\n

We can happily stroll through the streets, the fresh wind caressing our skin; walk into the forest, swim or climb the peaks; use our whole body to enjoy a meal: look, smell, taste \u2014 and the same with other bodies: beauty, warmth, softness…<\/p>\n

As we practice Dzogchen, it may even be that these activities, so banal in themselves, become real wonders. In any case this is what happened to me, over time, with a little training: as if I was seeing, eating, feeling for the very first time. As if until then everything had been attenuated, reduced, veiled by all sorts of obscurations \u2014 and in particular, by many thoughts!<\/p>\n

For we think, we interpret, we judge, we put countless conceptual labels on everything that happens to us \u2014 I like, I don’t like, it’s beautiful, ugly, etc. etc. \u2014 but we rarely experience directly what this precious human body can do, in a simple and natural way \u2014 without thinking too much about it, just by being present. Opening all our senses, our body. Being present to our experience. Opening and opening again. Expanding our field of perception. Becoming attentive to everything that appears to us.<\/p>\n

What can a body do?<\/h6>\n

Dzogchen makes us aware of the extreme preciousness of our human condition, in all<\/em> situations. Every moment is precious. No two moments will ever be the same.<\/h2>\n

We are present and open, alert, attentive and vigilant, thanks to our consciousness too \u2014 another marvel of this precious human life. It is thanks to all these functions (awareness, vigilance, alertness, intelligence, imagination, etc.) that we will be able to fully appreciate our life, and not miss a moment of it! Gradually, with time and practice, what was insignificant and not even noticed \u2014 our feet on the ground, the fork in our hand, the door handle of the toilet, etc. \u2014 absolutely everything, will become more and more conscious, clear and precise.<\/p>\n

Nothing will be left out. No shadowy areas will remain. A deep sense of peace will arise. By then, we will slowly but surely pass from the unconsciousness of the automatic pilot of the \u201call work and no play\u201d, to the full awareness to all that manifests. What was ordinary will become extraordinary again. Here it is then, a precious and free human life!<\/p>\n

Precious and free…<\/p>\n

As human beings, we are always attracted to pleasure and repel suffering. But whether we think<\/em> we are free or not, whether we think<\/em> we are suffering or experiencing pleasure, it makes no difference. For Dzogchen true freedom is to be able to use all experiences to know the incredible: there are no good or bad experiences.<\/p>\n

Dzogchen makes us aware of the extreme preciousness of our human condition, in all<\/em> situations. Every moment is precious. No two moments will ever be the same. What we experience now, we will never experience again… never! So we might as well not miss anything, right now!<\/p>\n

Moreover, this tradition is still alive. Its teaching is accessible, even in French! It has realized masters present among us \u2014 rare, so precious \u2014 and who keep the lineage alive since the origin. Finally, there are people who try to put it into practice and who can support us.<\/p>\n

What could be better? Let us rejoice! We have all these rare and precious conditions to set us on our way. What’s more, since we are on this site, a link has (maybe) already been established…<\/p>\n

Each moment, unique treasure, will never come again. Let us savor it. Let us rejoice in our rare and precious human life. The Great Perfection is now!<\/p>\n
