Being present and working with circumstances

"... When we learn and know something about Dzogchen, we should integrate. Integration is practice, and this practice is very important once we have this knowledge. We always say we should discover our real nature; it is not sufficient to learn pujas, visualizations of deities, or how to chant mantras, etc. These activities have benefit, but they do not take us directly on the path. Life is very short, so we must do concrete practice in daily life. Otherwise we can have some nice fantasies, and if we always go after and develop fantasy, we do not realize in the end. It's a pity because we know the principle of the teachings and we should learn something concrete."
