Hazlitt with his root teacher,
His Eminence Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche

At the request to teach by Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche, Hazlitt decided to embark on a North American Dharma teaching tour. The tour began October 2009 right after Hazlitt completed the second Dzogchen Lineage Internship. He has already given teachings and engaged in Dharma activities in over 60 cities across the United States, Mexico and Canada including: Los Angeles, San Diego, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Toronto, Rochester, New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Boise, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas as well as many other cities and small towns in-between. So far during the tour Hazlitt has given over 280 announced sessions of Dharma teachings to nearly 1,300 people as well as uncounted spontaneous private teachings.

About Path Buddha

In the Dzogchen Lineage, we often discuss the three types of Buddha:

Ground Buddha is your pure inner nature. This is your Buddha Nature. All sentient beings have this same ground, which is the explanation why all beings naturally want to seek happiness and naturally want to avoid suffering.

Path Buddha is your Dharma, your relative truth, your beneficial thinking, the accumulation of your merit (positive karma) and wisdom (the essence of your understandings + experiences + realizations). The method for improving your Path Buddha includes learning, contemplating, and meditating upon renunciation, compassion, faith, love, and wisdom while keeping the intention of acting for the benefit of others at the forefront of your mind.

Result Buddha is when your Path Buddha has fully merged with your Ground Buddha. This is the moment when you fully realize your Buddha Nature and attain Vast Awakening, the same accomplishment of Buddha Shakyamuni.
