r/Dzogchen

Hi there, i expect you are having a good time =)

Got a question but with all respect if you want to help me with a comment please dont answer with "Go get a Guru".

¿Is there such a thing as Valid Cognition in Dzogchen? What is the status of Knowledge?

Because im seeing people saying Dzogchen has no tenets etc its seems this system Is portrayed even as if was not buddhism.

Edit Thanks for all the people that wanted to help, honestly.

Just want to say something

I know ones need a Guru in Dzogchen and i respect that.

But if only realying in the teacher how ones sharpen ones own understanding. Even teachings say you need to analize the Guru otherwise Is risky. How that Is going to happen of you don allow to study yourself the main topics or to have a sharp mind that understand all this topics. Dont mean to be irrespecful.

Hi,

So I've been doing beginner trekcho meditation.
I've been getting different states, some bliss, but mostly a psychedelic state.

Now I have always had a looser perception than most, with acuity of sound and vision and a kind of estrangement to it. I've also for many years had rather intense migraines, though these had mostly ceased.

Simultaneously with the states, which I also have when not sitting, my migraines have returned, much more visually with intense auras and hypersensitivity. These can take multiple days and I'm having a hard time separating what is what.

Can there be a relationship between the two? My two lama's are away since summer so I have noone to ask. I'm scheduling an appointment with a neurologist.

Thank you
