Joining me in this podcast is a writer, editor, and the publisher of Riot Material magazine, C von Hassett.

C von also is a onetime professor of literature and a decades-long practitioner of Dzogchen, a radical if not revolutionary wisdom practice which points the practitioner directly toward the recognition of their own mind in its natural state – there but to awaken.

In these extraordinary teachings that speak to the way one confidently enters the mind and observes it in its natural state, C von has come up and written the definitive meditation guidebook for our times. His new book, Entering the Mind, is a richly poetic and deeply insightful exploration of that transformative practice.

THE BOOK

Entering the Mind is a singular accomplishment, remarkable for its clarity as well as its richly poetic delivery. The text is all the more essential for its practitioner’s insight into what is considered to be the highest wisdom practice known to man – that of Dzogchen. C von takes us luminously into the life-affirming, heart-awakening, consciousness-altering terrains of mind in its natural state, where he shows us how to recognize it within ourselves, then realize it through holistic, wholly committed practice.
