The Cycle of Day and Night is an extraordinary upadesha on how to achieve the capacity of total contemplation in one's life. Spontaneously written in 1983, it was later discovered by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu to be based on a teaching found in The Upadesha of Vajrasattva, which has also been received in a dream by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.
Michael Katz, an International Dzogchen Community Santi Maha Sangha (SMS) teacher, is authorized to teach by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. He has subsequently taught for four decades in more than 30 countries internationally as well as Harvard University, Amherst College, Tibet House and other institutions and organizations.
