The Song of the Owl Headed Dakini - the 5 owl precepts
According to the song of the owl-headed Dakini, authentic tantrikas live within the dimension of the ’ug-Kyi Lab-Nga – the Owl Precepts. The five Owl Precepts originate in the gTérmas of Khyungchen Aro Lingma. They contain the profound inner meaning of the five precepts commonly found within the Sutras, and as such provide an extraordinary base for approaching Dzogchen. They represent the Dzogchen view of the five precepts, expressed as irrepressible inaction (Chatral dzi-mèd). Chatral dzi-mèd must be experienced naturally, through the self-abandonment of the artificial constructs of dualistic rationalisation.
