'''Rigpa''' (Skt. ''vidyā''; Tib. [[རིག་པ་]], [[Wyl.]] ''rig pa'') is a Tibetan word, which in general means ‘intelligence’ or ‘awareness’. In [[Dzogchen]], however, the highest teachings in the Buddhist tradition of Tibet, rigpa has a deeper connotation, ‘the innermost nature of the mind’. The whole of the teaching of [[Buddha]] is directed towards realizing this, our ultimate nature, the state of [[omniscience]] or [[enlightenment]]—a truth so universal, so primordial that it goes beyond all limits, and beyond even religion itself.<br>

Rigpa is the special feature of Dzogchen. [[Jikmé Lingpa]] says in his ''[[Treasury of Precious Qualities]]'':

:Rigpa, which transcends the [[ordinary mind]],
:Is the special feature of the natural Dzogpachenpo.

And [[Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima]] wrote: “Generally speaking, in the instructions on Dzogchen, profound and special aspects are endless.The key point, however, is the differentiation between the ordinary mind and rigpa."

==Subdivisions==
