This year a research paper was submitted to the journal Religions and titled: "The Distinctive Mindfulness of Dzogchen: Jigme Lingpa’s Advice on Meta-Awareness and Nondual Meditation." It was co-authored with Michael R. Sheehy (University of Virginia, USA). To elucidate the operations of mindfulness in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, this paper analyzes two guidance texts on mindfulness by Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa (1729/30-1798), Ocean of Qualities: Advice on Mindfulness, and Cudgel to Discern the Real: Advice that Shines from Mindfulness and Meta-Awareness, the latter translated into English for the first time. Jigme Lingpa articulates a twofold typology of mindfulness: (1) effortful and conditioned, and (2) inseparable from pure awareness or rigpa (rig pa).
