In the thirteenth episode of “What is Dzogchen?”, the third and last of the “three series” (*sde gsum*) of Dzogchen, Nils Derboule and Mila Khyentse Rinpoche continue to give us an initial glimpse of the Dzogchen tradition, highlighting the *Men ngag dé* series (*man ngag sde*), which is the third of the "three series" (*sde gsum*).

**Host:** Grégoire

**Notes:**

Traditionally, the three series are introduced in succession, corresponding to the progression along the Dzogchen path: from the semde (*sems sde*) - the mind series - to the longde (*klong sde*) - the matrix space series - and on to the men ngag dé (*man ngag sde*) - or the direct instruction series.
