Trekchö

Trekchö (Wyl. khregs chod) — one of the two aspects, along with tögal, of Dzogchen practice.

Definition

Trekchö is translated as ‘thoroughly cutting through’ (resistance, stubbornness, toughness and closedness), or ‘breakthrough’. The practice of trekchö reveals the view of primordial purity beyond conceptual elaboration (kadak trödral). Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche defines trekchö as 'cutting through all spiritually inclined trips'.
