What remains of the dying population of Cambodia? One large photograph of an American actress holding an Asian child in her arms. What remains of Tomas? An inscription reading: “He wanted the Kingdom of God on Earth.” What remains of Beethoven? A frown, an improbable mane, and a somber voice intoning “Es muss sein!” What remains of Franz? An inscription reading: “A return after long wanderings.” And so on and so forth. Before we are forgotten, we will be turned into kitsch. Kitsch is the stopover between being and oblivion.

The article is paywalled. I have some experience with dzogchen. It can be useful. That said, there’s not really any escaping practice. That’s kind of the whole point.
IMO, Buddhism isn’t something you believe, it is something you do. The realization comes with the doing of the practice, and there aren’t really any shortcuts.
I personally have gotten the most mileage out of zazen; with the exception of full-on retreats, but those aren’t really casual.
