Tögal

Tögal (wyl. thod rgal ) - One of the two aspects, along with Trekchö, of Dzogchen practice. Tögal, translated as ‘direct crossing’, ‘the direct approach’ or ‘leapover’, can bring very quickly the actual realization of the three kayas in this lifetime, and thus is a more rapid way of bringing about the dissolution of the practitioner’s karmic vision. The practice of Tögal brings the realization of lhundrup, ‘spontaneous presence’, and it can only be undertaken by a practitioner who has first gained stability in the practice of Kadak Trekchö.
