Dawa Gyaltsen (Tibetan: ཟླ་བ་རྒྱལ་མཚན, Wylie: zla ba rgyal mtshan) was a Dzogchen master who lived in the 8th century in the area of Zhangzhung. His body of work includes the Fivefold Teaching:
- Vision is mind.
- Mind is empty.
- Emptiness is clear light.
- Clear light is union.
- Union is great bliss.
The Five-fold teaching is intended to provide a path to awakening. Practitioner meditation, in conjunction with pointing-out instruction of a qualified master, is intended to introduce the primordial and true nature of mind.[1] Dawa Gyaltsen's teaching were passed on through several notable students, including Tapihritsa, and continue to be taught to this day by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and other heirs of the lineage.[2]
