About the show

A podcast about Buddhist practice with a focus on Dzogchen, Buddhist visionary experiences, nonduality, and the power of pith instructions and direct advice. Pristine Awareness is devoted to exploring the living heart of Buddhist practice. Each episode invites listeners into a world where wisdom and direct experience meet, illuminating the path of nonduality and natural presence. Through conversations, reflections, stories of Buddhist visionary experiences, and concise teachings, Pristine Awareness reveals the transformative power of pith instructions, those simple yet profound words of direct advice that awaken the innate clarity of mind. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or simply curious about the deeper dimensions of awareness, this podcast offers a luminous space to rest, reflect, and rediscover the essence of awakening. Periodically Pristine Awareness will feature guests from the world of Buddhist practice and Dzogchen.  There are two streams to this podcast: Pith Instruction Stream - Concise practice Instructions from Dharma Teachers, primarily Lama Pema Düddul and Rigdzin Jamyang Tenphel. Dharma Talks Stream - Longer talks on various Dharma topics from Lama Pema Düddul.
