In Buddhism, there are the concepts samsara and nirvana. Most of the Buddhist teachings are built around the premise that both concepts exist. But what if I was to tell you that both samsara and nirvana don't exist? The secret teachings of Buddhism, known as Dzogchen, explores the nature of samsara and nirvana, and present the need for going beyond both to understand the true nature of reality so that we become a living Buddha. I will explain these teachings using the source text of Dzogchen, "The Flight of the Garuda," which is one of the greatest texts in the world.
