Chang Offering Practice: Offer a small bowl of chang (Tibetan barley beer) on an altar to Guru Rinpoche, reciting his mantra (OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM). Contemplate the liquid’s fluidity as a symbol of rigpa’s effortless adaptability, then rest in non-meditation Water Bowl Offering Meditation: Arrange seven water bowls on an altar, filling them mindfully with clean water as an offering to enlightened beings. As you pour, rest in rigpa, letting the act of offering dissolve ego-clinging, the water’s flow mirroring the mind’s fluid nature. Stream Walking Meditation: Walk slowly barefoot in a shallow stream, feeling the water’s flow against your feet. With each step, release mental fixations, aligning with Dzogchen’s teaching of flowing naturally in the present moment.
