While many people have attained the highest realization by practicing the teachings of other Buddhist schools, even more have done so within the Nyingma lineage through the practice of Dzogchen. Why is this? It is because Dzogchen is so clear, direct, and powerful. It is well known that many Dzogchen practitioners achieved the transcendental wisdom rainbow body. In humble, simple, quiet ways, these practitioners reached the ultimate goal of life.
In general, when we practice Dzogchen we accumulate and accomplish the two merits of skillful means and wisdom in union. If we separate skillful means and wisdom, and choose one and reject the other, our practice is not all-encompassing and complete, and is therefore no longer Dzogchen.
In particular, this Aro teaching is based more on wisdom. In other words, it focuses on view and meditation. It is grounded more on the absolute level since it is a direct teaching on the true nature. Even so, if we want to actualize this teaching we still must practice it through the union of skillful means and wisdom. Dzogchen is the highest teaching, and Dzogchen practitioners are of the highest capacity.

Chogyam Trungpa. Then, as the result of practice with Buddha-figures in mahayoga, effulgent rigpa gives rise to and cognizes itself as a rainbow body , rather than with ordinary aggregates. Thus, on the leap-ahead stage — equivalent to an accustoming pathway mind path of meditation — through four stages, effulgent rigpa becomes more prominent while simultaneously maintaining prominent essence rigpa.
When effulgent and essence rigpa become equally prominent, we attain enlightenment and, as the result of our intense love, compassion and bodhichitta aim, maintained throughout this practice, we are enabled to benefit all beings to the fullest extent possible.
Although it is true that just by recognizing what is happening in our cognitive experience, conceptual thoughts and all other levels of limited awareness cease and our minds give rise to our pure appearance with all the complete faculties of a Buddha, none of that can possibly happen unless we have put in a tremendous amount of effort in this and previous lives on all the sutra and tantra preliminaries.
