Simply This.

Conversation between Patrul Rinpoche and Nyoshul Lungtok.

High up in the mountains above Dzogchen Monastery, it was a beautiful night. The dark blue sky was clear and the stars shone brilliantly.  The sound of the solitude was heightened by the distant barking of dogs from the monastery below.

Rinpoche:  Do you see the stars up there in the sky?

Nyoshul:   Yes.

Rinpoche: Do you hear the dogs barking?

Nyoshul:   Yes.

Rinpoche: Do you hear what I am saying to you?

Nyoshul:   Yes.

Rinpoche: Well, the nature of Dzogchen is this: simply this.
