Tögyal is a Dzogchen practice through which, via the posture and the gaze, one works directly with the light inherent in all phenomena using specific practices to reveal it within him or herself. Both of this practice and the subsequent step, Trekchö, are indispensable for a deep understanding of what occurs in the between states that arise after death. These two practices can only be achieved through receiving the inspiration and blessing from a living master who has realized them.
