Dzogchen and the “relief” of emotions on a daily basis (13) : Feelings of Loneliness

In this three-episode miniseries, we focus on a topic increasingly present in contemporary society: the feeling of loneliness. Throughout the series, we explore the many facets of loneliness through the lens of Dzogchen, aiming to understand its inner workings.

In this first episode, Mila Khyentse Rinpoche and Arnaud Buisson, a psychiatrist at the Pontarlier Hospital and a Dzogchen practitioner), discuss the suffering of solitude, its underlying mechanisms, and the differences between therapeutic meditation and the Dzogchen perspective.

Host: Marie-Laure

Notes

Dzogchen is a directly accessible tradition that can be practiced in a variety of ways in our daily lives, focusing on liberation from suffering and the means to achieve it. In this episode, we explore the suffering associated with the feeling of loneliness and the illusory nature of the emotions that compose it, with a short concentration practice offered by Mila Khyentse Rinpoche as a direct application.
