“Dzogchen,” literally “great completion,” describes enlightenment in Vajrayana Buddhism. Dzogchen is also called “the natural state” and “effortless spontaneous action” (lhündrüp). It is akin to “deep laziness”… an old man basking in the sun. https://amzn.to/2I597NU

“Flow” experiences depend on near-optimal conditions. Dzogchen does not. I’ve suggested that Vajrayana ideally produces flow-like experiences under any circumstances.https://vividness.live/2012/06/27/tantra-and-flow/ …

Unconditional flow depends on not judging anything as inherently wrong. Magical description of Miles Davis having no problem with a “wrong” chord and elaborating the flow (by Herbie Hancock). Dzogchen resonances: “integration,” “alchemy,” “surprise”pic.twitter.com/xpbUc1EWw0

The Herbie Hancock quote is from his recent autobiography, _Possibilities_. Hancock is a Buddhist, and the book explains how Buddhism influenced his life and music. (I haven’t read it, but it’s on my list!) h/t
