%X ¡°The Mirror: Advice on£¿the Presence of Awareness¡± ( dran pa dang shes bzhin gyi gdams pa me long ma) is a short text that describes the essence of the£¿Dzogchen teaching ( rdzogs chen, total£¿perfection).£¿Concerning the way to£¿establish this point of view ( lta ba), the main point is to have a direct understanding through the experience of our£¿primordial state of pure presence, beyond any mental or intellectual£¿construction.£¿With regard to meditation ( sgom pa), this involves practicing in£¿order to be sure to understand our own true nature, the non-dual condition£¿of the calm state (the essence of the mind) and movement (its natural energy).£¿Behavior ( spyod pa) is the integration of meditation in all our daily£¿activities, continuing in the state of pure presence in every circumstance of£¿life. This is the total realization.
