A professional recording of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche reciting Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's doha, or Dzogchen song of realization.

“This doha is not like the intellectual, mentally-contrived writings of Buddhist scholars. The song arose from H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche's own realization of perfect enlightened mind, which is beyond the intellectual mind, and is an inconceivably profound teaching. This doha is not like an ordinary teaching on a particular aspect of Buddhism. It contains everything - the dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, nirmanakaya, all the lamas, yidams, dakinis, and dharma protectors - and guides us in how to accomplish inseparable skillful means and wisdom. It contains the essence of all 84,000 teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni and the 6,400,000 tantras of the Great Perfection, the totality of the Buddha Dharma. His Holiness wrote this song at the holy place of Tso Pema in northern India and it carries powerful blessings. It is the highest level of teaching that shows the path to attain the rainbow body or enlightenment in this very lifetime. I received this transmission directly from His Holiness, and with pure samaya, have maintained unbroken lineage. While my knowledge and capacity are limited, my intention is pure and I will share this teaching with my Dharma heart friends so they can taste the nectar blessings of His Holiness.” – Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
