I most try to convey in my writing that different Buddhisms *are* radically different. The "Consensus Buddhist" framework denied this, and successfully obscured it for three decades. Once differences are admitted, one can ask which are good tools for specific purposes.

No extant system is free from severe flaws, or best for all purposes. Dzogchen has flaws that are probably fatal. People will still be doing Mahasi-Lite
in 100 years; Dzogchen will probably be extinct. - 11 more replies

Jumping in here: off the cuff, a theme that emerges for me is •relationship• Dzogchen has a very different view and suite of practices. And one way that I just came up w/ is that it teaches a way of •relating• to experiences, and phenomena, that is a radical departure

The texture of the practice feels so different compared with vipassna Even though you’re in the same posture just sitting there (dzogchen entails more than just a seated meditation practice) and that textural diff in part flows out of how each system teaches how to relate to
