In the buddhafield of Sukhavati<br />
Dwells the dharmakaya guru Amitabha.<br />
I supplicate you, consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of supreme empowerment.<br />
This rigpa, luminosity emptiness free from fringe and centre,<br />
Is this not your wisdom mind?<br />
This natural state, unaltered since beginningless time,<br />
Is this not you, Changeless Light?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature<br />
Amitabha is scattered,<br />
The buddhafield of Sukhavati evaporates<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la. la!<br />
Whatever experience arises is the trick of dharmakaya.<br />
Grasping at buddhafields is a deceptive phenomenon,<br />
Clinging to the label 'Buddha,' a dangerous abyss.<br />
Amitabha is not outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of dharmakaya in myself—a la la!<br />
This unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound pith instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />

A ho ye!<br />
In the buddhafield of Potala Mountain<br />
Dwells the sambhogakaya guru Mahakarunika.<br />
I supplicate you; consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of supreme empowerment.<br />
This rigpa, intrinsic luminosity free from obscurations<br />
Is this not your wisdom mind?<br />
This awareness display, spontaneously present wisdom of<br />
knowledge and love<br />
Is that not you, Lord of Compassion?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature,<br />
Mahakarunika is scattered,<br />
The buddhafield of Potala Mountain evaporates<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la la!<br />
Whatever discursiveness manifests is the nature of sambhogakaya,<br />
Grasping at buddhafields is a deceptive phenomenon,<br />
Clinging to the label 'true dharma' a dangerous abyss.<br />
Mahakarunika is not outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of sambhogakaya in myself—a la la!<br />
This unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound pith instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />
<br />
A ho ye!<br />
In the palace of the Glorious Tail-fan Mountain<br />
Dwells the nirmanakaya guru Padmasambhava.<br />
I supplicate you, consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of supreme empowerment.<br />
This rigpa, unceasing self-liberation<br />
Is this not your wisdom mind?<br />
This nature of mind, source of kayas and jñanas<br />
Is that not you, Padmasambhava?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature<br />
Padmasambhava, is scattered,<br />
The Glorious Tail-fan Mountain evaporates<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la la!<br />
Whatever expression appears is the dance of nirmanakaya<br />
Grasping at buddhafields is a deceptive phenomenon,<br />
Clinging to the label `bodhicitta' a dangerous abyss.<br />
Padmasambhava is not outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of nirmanakaya in myself—a la la!<br />
This unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound pith instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />
<br />
A ho ye!<br />
On the chakra of great bliss on the top of the head<br />
Dwells the peerless lord, the root guru.<br />
I supplicate you, consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of supreme empowerment.<br />
This present moment mind, the fourth time free from the three,<br />
Is this not your wisdom mind?<br />
This rigpa, the root of all dharmas,<br />
Is that not you, root guru?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature<br />
The root guru is scattered.<br />
The convention of buddhafields evaporates<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la la!<br />
Whatever experience dawns is the guru of one's nature,<br />
Grasping at buddhafields is a deceptive phenomenon,<br />
Clinging to form a dangerous abyss.<br />
The guru is not outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of the buddha in myself—a la la!<br />
This unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound oral instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />
<br />
A ho ye!<br />
In the buddhafield of Blazing Mountain<br />
Dwells the yidam Great Heruka.<br />
I supplicate you, consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of accomplishment.<br />
This universal splendour, intrinsic awareness of all samsara and<br />
nirvana<br />
Is this not your essence?<br />
This heroic prajña realising egolessness<br />
Is that not you, Vajrakumara?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature<br />
The assembly of yidam deities is scattered,<br />
The Blazing Mountain evaporates<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la la!<br />
Whatever appears and exists is purified as the nature of the yidam,<br />
Grasping at buddhafields as substance is a deceptive<br />
phenomenon,<br />
Clinging to the deity as an entity a dangerous abyss.<br />
The yidam is not outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of the supreme deity in myself—a la la!<br />
This unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound oral instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />
<br />
A ho ye!<br />
In the heavenly realm of Khechara<br />
Dwells the dakini Vajravarahi.<br />
I supplicate you, consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of dispelling obstacles.<br />
This fundamental state, the uncontrived innate great sphere<br />
Is this not your very expanse itself my friend?<br />
This wisdom of bliss and emptiness inseparable<br />
Is this not you, wisdom dakini?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature<br />
Vajravarahi is scattered,<br />
The heavenly realm of Khechara evaporates<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la la!<br />
Whatever is seen and heard is the nature of the consort's prajna<br />
Grasping at buddhafields is a deceptive phenomenon,<br />
Clinging to the label 'Great Mother' is a dangerous abyss.<br />
The dakini is not outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of the queen consort in myself—a la la!<br />
This is unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound oral instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />
<br />
A ho ye!<br />
In the indefinite charnel ground<br />
Dwell the ocean of dharmapala guardians and samaya-bound.<br />
I supplicate you; consider your child with kindness<br />
Grant the blessings of enlightened activity.<br />
This rigpa, unsought primordially existent activity<br />
Is this not the life essence of you, oceans of samaya-bound?<br />
Guarding against the dualistic appearance of samsara and nirvana<br />
Is this not you, absolute protector?<br />
You have never been separated from me for even an instant.<br />
Though never separated I have not recognised this.<br />
Now, the moment I recognise my nature,<br />
The dharmapalas are scattered.<br />
The sixty-four sacred places and lands evaporate<br />
Into the state of the unborn nature—sha ra ra!<br />
As the play of rigpa bliss emptiness—ya la la!<br />
Ordinary thoughts appear as the dance of self liberated<br />
dharmapalas,<br />
Grasping the convention of sacred places and lands is a<br />
deceptive phenomenon.<br />
Clinging to the label of 'external guardians' a dangerous abyss.<br />
The protectors aren't outside, look inside!<br />
This discovery of the samaya-bound in myself—a la la!<br />
This is unceasing carefree mind—emaho!<br />
This too is the perfect teacher's kindness.<br />
This too is the blessing of the profound oral instructions.<br />
I sing this song of magnificent delight,<br />
I perform this dance of highest aspiration.<br />
<br />
<br />
My vajra brother lama Sonam Chopel requested this song of the<br />
experience and realization of whatever arises. When I analyze my own<br />
being... wow! My master is excellent. I have met a real lotus-born in<br />
person, his pith instruction is profound, it is dzogchen—the essence<br />
of the heart blood of the dakini. Although I cannot show off by<br />
bragging about doing practice in a cave sealed off with mud, as long as<br />
one remains inseparable from self-settled innate wakefulness, no<br />
matter what happens there is no need for hope and fear or much worries.<br />
Although this ordinary person has not actualized dzogpa chenpo, still<br />
one can feel at ease, the dharma tradition is great, so there is no reason<br />
one can't sing this spontaneous song of sublime aspiration. This stray<br />
donkey who is impressed with his own penis, the gypsy Jigdrel Yeshe<br />
Dorje, wrote down without any self-consciousness whatever came to<br />
mind in the valley near Tsopema in Zahor, India.<br />

The Defects of Tobacco and Smoking Tobacco:<br />
‘the guide that leads the blind on a false path which ends in a precipice’ <br />
<br />
by Kyabjé Jigdrèl Yeshé Dorje, Düd’jom Rinpoche<br />
<br />
</strong></span> <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102);font-size:100%;" ><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></strong></span></p></center><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"> Om Swasti:<br />
<br />
With supreme appreciation and deep respect for Padmasambhava – wisdom manifestation of all Buddhas and union of the Buddha families – I shall relate the history of tobacco. Approximately a hundred years after Buddha Shakyamuni’s parinirvana, a Chinese demon, maddened with obsession, spoke these dying words:<br />
“Through my body I wish to lead the beings of this earth to lower realms. Bury my body intact and eventually a plant, different from all others, will grow out of my remains. Merely by smelling it, people will experience pleasure in body and mind, far more joyful than the union of male and female. It will spread far and wide until most of the beings on this earth will enjoy it.”<br />
<br />
At present the actual fruition of this wish is clearly evident. Opium and other related intoxicants taken by mouth or nose, neither help quench thirst nor satisfy hunger. They do not possess a taste which is delicious, and they are bereft of anything which promotes health or which strengthens one’s life force. These substances serve to increase nervousness and blood pressure. They also cause cancer and pulmonary disease. At this time, many people, from all levels of society, develop irresistible attraction for these substances and proceed to consume them without control – and thus demonic intentionality has borne fruit.<br />
<br />
In the gTérma of Chögyal Ratna Lingpa it is stated:<br />
‘Padmasambhava bound the Nine Demonic Brothers under oath, but they were breakers of samaya, and the youngest of them found a way to undermine their commitment to protect beings. He told his kindred: “Brothers, do not despair, listen to me. I shall manifest myself in the country of China as tobacco; the name of this toxin will be ‘the black poison’. It will grow in the border lands, from whence it will spread to Tibet. The people of Tibet will consume this enjoyable substance. By the strength of this, the five neurotic poisons will increase. Rejecting the ten positive actions, people will practise the ten negative ones. The lives of the lineage holders will become precarious, and they will depart for the Buddha Fields. The smoke of this poison, penetrating the earth, will annihilate hundreds of thousands of cities of the kLu. Rain will not fall, harvest and livestock will not thrive, there will be civil unrest, plagues, and calamities. The poison’s smoke rising into the sky will destroy celestial dimensions; untimely eclipses and comets will appear. The essential fluids and veins of those who smoke will dehydrate. It causes the four hundred and four diseases to arise. Whoever smokes will be reborn in the lower realms. If one smokes and others inhale the odour, it will be as if one were ripping out the hearts of six million beings.’<br />
<br />
According to the gTérma of Sang-gyé Lingpa:<br />
‘In this decadent age people will indulge in unwholesome behaviour. In particular, rather than eating nourishing food, people will consume the substances which are poisonous and evil-smelling. Interrupting what they are doing, they will consume the poison. They will need to spit, their noses will run, their health and complexion will fade.’<br />
<br />
The gTérma of Rig’dzin Go’dem predicts:<br />
‘In the ultimate decadent age people will absorb poisonous vomit, food of dri za’i. Merely smelling it, one will go to the Mar-med Myal-wa. For this reason give it up right now.’<br />
<br />
From the predictions discovered by Düd’dül Dorje:<br />
‘Practitioners will enjoy inhaling the smoke of these plants and sniffing their powder and the country will be invaded by samaya-breakers. They will be deceived by illusion and experience the arising of obsessive characteristics. As a sign of the exhaustion of merit they will have causes for tears which will flow uncontrollably.’<br />
<br />
The gTérmas of Longsel reveal:<br />
‘The time when people smoke these vile substances is also the time when close friends will poison each other’s minds.’<br />
<br />
The gTérmas of Thugchog Dorje specify:<br />
‘Because of the five neurotic poisons, the obsessions, animosities, strife, arguments, and miseries of beings will blaze like an inferno. As the ten good qualities are discarded, negativity will rage like a storm. Wholesome behaviour will be neglected, while perverse practices will be promulgated. In this degenerate age the Protectors will vanish as demonic beings assume power. People will inhale tobacco smoke, and the spatial-veins of discriminative wisdom will become blocked, whilst agitation and distorted emotions become intensified. The central channel will be obstructed and the clarity of awareness will die. Exhaustion of energy will cause agitation around the world. Religious artifacts, the objects of veneration, will deteriorate; perverted ideologies and false religions will spread. The Protectors will turn aside and look only towards Mount Méru. Foreigners will invade Tibet, and Tibetans will be forced to stray in the border lands. Doctrines of Illusion will spread and the world will become a dimension of hell.’<br />
<br />
The gTérma of Dro’dül Lingpa predicted:<br />
‘By merely smelling the odour of these herbs, grasses and leaves will spring from demonic blood, one will find oneself in Vajra Hell.’<br />
<br />
A prediction of Ma-gÇig Labdrön states:<br />
‘In the final period of disputation a substance will appear which one ingests orally, and it will aggravate all five neuroses. It will originate in China, extend to Mongolia and Tibet. Wherever it travels it will be consumed, and wherever it is consumed – rainfall will become irregular, accompanied by severe frost and hail. If practitioners consume this substance, even were they to practise for a hundred æons – they will not realise their yidams. In future lives, they will wander incessantly in the three lower realms, where even the compassion of the Buddhas will have no power to help them.’<br />
<br />
There are innumerable other predictions concerning tobacco – the use of which has been particularly forbidden by accomplished masters of both Sarma and Nyingma traditions. The vajra words of Padmasambhava were not given to deceive practitioners, so do not entertain doubts as to: ‘how can so many problems arise from smoking a natural plant?’ Aconite is also a plant, yet eating a small quantity of it can be lethal. If this should be the case with a plant, at the physical level, why could not the fruit of the demonic intentionality cause spiritual death? Understanding this, the wise will render themselves a great kindness by renouncing tobacco and narcotics. In doing so, may the honourable and wise who avoid the path to the precipice have the good fortune of finding respite in the ecstatic garden of liberation.<br />

<br />
Since everything originates in the mind, this being the root cause of all experience, whether<br />
“good” or “bad”, it is first of all necessary to work with your own mind, not to let it stray and lose<br />
yourself in its wandering. Cut the unnecessary build-up of complexity and fabrications which<br />
invite confusion in the mind. Nip the problem in the bud, so to speak.<br />
Allow yourself to relax and feel some spaciousness, letting mind be to settle naturally. Your body<br />
should be still, speech silent, and breathing as it is, freely flowing. Here, there is a sense of letting<br />
go, unfolding, letting be.<br />
<br />
What does this state of relaxation feel like? You should be like someone after a really hard day’s<br />
work, exhausted and peacefully satisfied, mind contented to rest. Something settles at gut level,<br />
and feeling it resting in your gut you begin to experience a lightness. It is as if you’re melting.<br />
The mind is so unpredictable – there’s no limit to the fantastic and subtle creation which arise, its<br />
moods, and where it will lead you. But you might also experience a muddy, semi-conscious<br />
drifting state, like having a hood over your head – a kind of dreamy dullness.<br />
<br />
This is a manner of stillness, namely stagnation, a blurred, mindless blindness. And how do you <br />
get out of this state? Alert yourself, straighten your back, breathe the stale air out of your lungs, <br />
and direct your awareness into clear space in order to bring about freshness. If you remain in this <br />
stagnant state you will not evolve, so when this setback arises clear it again and again. It is important <br />
to develop watchfulness, to stay sensitively alert.<br />
<br />
So, the lucid awareness of meditation is the recognition of both stillness and change, and the quiet<br />
clarity of peacefully remaining in our basic intelligence. Practice this, for only by actually doing<br />
it does one experience the fruition or begin to change.<br />
<br />
<b>View in Action</b><br />
<br />
During meditation one’s mind, being evenly settled in its own natural way, is like still water,<br />
unruffled by ripple or breeze, and as any thought or change arises in that stillness it forms, like a<br />
wave in the ocean, and disappears back into it again. Left naturally, it dissolves; naturally.<br />
Whatever turbulence of mind erupts- if you let it be – it will of its own course play itself out,<br />
liberate itself; and thus the view arrived at through meditation is that whatever appears is none<br />
other than the self display or projection of the mind.<br />
<br />
In continuing the perspective of this view into the activities and events of everyday life, the grasp<br />
of dualistic perception of the world as solid, fixed and tangible reality (which is the root cause of<br />
our problems) begins to loosen and dissolves. Mind is like the wind. It comes and goes; and<br />
through increasing certainty in this view one begins to appreciate the humor of the situation.<br />
Things start to feel somewhat unreal, and the attachment and importance which one signifies to<br />
events begin to seem ridiculous, or at any rate lighthearted.<br />
<br />
Thus one develops the ability to dissolve perception by continuing the flowing awareness of<br />
meditation into everyday life, seeing everything as the self-manifest play of the mind. And<br />
immediately after sitting meditation, the continuation of this awareness is helped by doing what<br />
you have to do calmly and quietly, with simplicity and without agitation.<br />
<br />
So in a sense everything is like a dream, illusory, but even so humorously one goes on doing<br />
things. If you are walking, for instance, without unnecessary solemnity or self-consciousness, but<br />
lightheartedly walk towards the open space of suchness, truth. When you eat, be the stronghold of<br />
truth, what is. As you eat, feed the negativities and illusions into the belly of emptiness,<br />
dissolving them into space; and when you are pissing consider all your obscurations and<br />
blockages are being cleansed and washed away.<br />
<br />
So far I have told you the essence of the practice in a nutshell, but you must realize that as long as<br />
we continue to see the world in a dualistic way, until we are really free of attachment and<br />
negativity, and have dissolved all our outer perceptions into the purity of the empty nature of<br />
mind, we are still stuck in the relative world of “good” and “bad”, “positive” and “negative”<br />
actions, and we must respect these laws and be mindful and responsible for our actions.<br />
<br />
<b>Post Meditation</b><br />
<br />
After formal sitting meditation, in everyday activities continue this light spacious awareness<br />
throughout and gradually awareness will be strengthened and inner confidence will grow.<br />
Rise calmly from meditation; don’t immediately jump up or rush about, but whatever your<br />
activity, preserve a light sense of dignity and poise and do what you have to do with ease and<br />
relaxation of mind and body. Keep your awareness lightly centered and don’t allow your attention<br />
to be distracted. Maintain this find thread of mindfulness and awareness, just flow.<br />
<br />
Whether walking, sitting, eating or going to sleep, have a sense of ease and presence of mind.<br />
With respect to other people, be honest, gentle and straightforward; generally be pleasant in your<br />
manner, and avoid getting carried away with talk and gossip.<br />
Whatever you do, in fact, do it according to the Dharma which is the way of quieting the mind<br />
and subjugating negativities.<br />

<br />
Om svasti,<br />
<br />
Having paid homage to the lord guru,<br />
<br />
The wishfulfilling jewel who dispels misery by thinking of him,<br />
<br />
I will let my words open up for a small understanding of the meaning<br />
<br />
Of the Vajra Verse Supplication,<br />
<br />
It is stated in these words :<br />
<br />
Buddha of the three times, Guru Rinpoche,<br />
<br />
Lord of all siddhis, Great Bliss One,<br />
<br />
Dispeller of all obstacles, Wrathful Tamer of Mara,<br />
<br />
I supplicate, you , please bestow your blessings.<br />
<br />
Pacify the outer, inner and secret obstacles,<br />
<br />
And bless me with the spontaneous fulfillment of my wishes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I will now clarify a little of the meaning of these vajra word of Guru Rinpoche himself, the quintessence of all supplications revealed in the profound treasures. of Orgyen Chokgyur Lingpa, explaining it in accordance with the regular teachings of Kunkhyen Lama Dorje Siji Tsal from the oral instructions of my family lord, Gyurme Ngedon Wangpo.<br />
<br />
"Buddha of the three times, Guru Rinpoche"<br />
<br />
Externally, this means the Precious Buddha among the Precious ones-because Orgyen Rinpoche himself is the master who is inseparable from the three mysteries of all the buddhas appearing throughout the past, present and the future.<br />
<br />
Internally, it means the guru, the root of blessings, among the Three Roots, because Orgyen Rinpoche himself is the general wisdom form of all the gurus of the Mind, Sign and Hearing Lineages.<br />
<br />
Secretly, it means the dharmakaya among the three kayas- because he is primordially present as emptiness endowed with all the supreme aspects possessing the indivisible nature of the kayas and wisdoms.<br />
<br />
"Lord of all siddhis, Great Blissful One."<br />
<br />
Externally, this means the sacred Precious Dharma because all the virtues of the truly high and the definite goodness originate from practicing in accordance with the words of the Guru.<br />
<br />
Internally, it means the yidam, the root of siddhis, because all the common and supreme siddhis without exception originate from Guru Rinpoche himself.<br />
<br />
Secretly, it means the sambhogakaya because he enjoys all the phenomena of samsara and nirvana as unconditioned great bliss in the manner of nonduality without moving away from dharmakaya.<br />
<br />
"Dispeller of all obstacles."<br />
<br />
Externally, this means the Precious Sangha because the dispelling of all the obstacles for the five paths and ten bhumis as well as the origination of all virtues depends upon the sangha,. The companions on the path who, again originate by means of Orgyen Rinpoche.<br />
<br />
Internally, it means the dakini. dharmapala, the roots of activity, because they clear away the practitioner's obstacles for the paths and bhumis and accomplish favorable conditions by means of the four activities. They again originate through Orgyen Rinpoche himself because he is the main figure in all mandalas.<br />
<br />
Secretly, it means the nirmanakaya because he emanates in bodily forms, taming by any means necessary within the perceptions of the various higher, inferior or mediocre disciples, and so establishes them on the paths of ripening and liberation after having taught all the essential points of the profound or extensive teachings which suit their intellects.<br />
<br />
In this way, the one who externally is the nature of the Three Precious Ones, internally the nature of the Three Roots ands secretly the nature of the three kayas, the chief form of all the buddhas, the source of all the sacred teachings, the crest ornament of all the sangha, and who is the great lord encompassing all families, is the one who bolds the secret name of<br />
<br />
"Wrathful Tamer of Mara."<br />
<br />
Why is that? It is because he spontaneously tamed the terrifying Four Maras, delivered the three secret enemies into dharmadhatu and liberated himself through realization. Since he has attained mastery over the four activities, he liberates others of out loving kindness by means of his unceasing compassion of eliminating and cherishing. Thus, through his power of great wisdom endowed with the twofold purity, he liberates the two obscurations along with habitual patterns into the state of nondual space and awareness.<br />
<br />
To the guru who possesses such qualities,<br />
<br />
"I supplicate you. "<br />
<br />
Externally one approaches with the intense power of devotion and, longing by supplicating for the desired aim of quickly achieving the supreme and common siddhis.<br />
<br />
Internally, one accomplished by acknowledging the fact that one's three doors primordially abide as the mandalas of Body, Speech and Mind.<br />
<br />
Secretly, one supplicates in the manner of applying activities by maintaining the unfabricated. continuity of self-awareness in its natural state, the real means of resolving that the guru is nowhere other than in mind-essence endowed with the nature of the four kayas and five wisdoms.<br />
<br />
By having supplicated in this way,<br />
<br />
"Please bestow your blessings"<br />
<br />
This means, 'please bless me to accomplish the Vajra Body, the apparent yet empty body, after having been blessed with the guru's Body in my body. Please bless me to accomplish the vajra Speech, the resounding yet empty speech, after having been blessed with the guru's Speech in my speech. Please bless me to accomplish the Vajra Mind, the aware yet empty mind, after having, been blessed with the guru's Mind in my mind. "<br />
<br />
"Pacify the outer, inner and secret obstacles. "<br />
<br />
All the conditions adverse to accomplishing enlightenment are called "obstacles". Outer obstacles are the sixteen major fears: the "earth fear" of pride, the "water fear" of desire, the "anger fear" of fire, the "envy fear" of wind, the "lightning fear" of thunderbolts, the "weapon fear" of what is sharp and piercing, the "tyrant fear" of prisons, the "enemy fear" of bandits and thieves, the "ghost fear" of flesh-eaters, the "wrath fear" of elephants, the "beast fear" of lions, the "poison fear" of snakes etc., the "illness fear" of plague etc., the "fear- of untimely death", the "fear of poverty and scarcity", and the "fear of vanishing sense pleasures”. Thus these are the sixteen.<br />
<br />
Inner obstacles are the Four Maras; the "Aggregate Mara" of ego-cling, the "Klesha Mara" of desire and attachment, the "Godly Son Mara" of deception, and the "Lord of Death Mara" of snatching one's life away.<br />
<br />
Secret obstacles are the kleshas of the five poisons: desire, anger, stupidity, pride and envy.<br />
<br />
What do they cause obstacles to? They make obstacles to accomplishing liberation and the state of omniscience. For this reason one supplicates that all outer obstacles may be pacified by the power of realizing sights, sounds and awareness to be the display of deities, mantras and dharmakaya; that all inner obstacles be pacified by liberating- grasping and fixation into the space of egolessness; and that secret obstacles be pacified by the power of realizing the five poisons as the five wisdoms and taking adverse conditions as the path.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"And bless me with the spontaneous fulfillment of my wishes.<br />
<br />
Concerning wishes, there are temporary wishes and ultimate wishes. As to the first, one supplicates, for as long as enlightenment has not been attained, to accumulate the conditions conducive to accomplishing it. These are stated as follows:<br />
<br />
"Long life span, and likewise no sickness,<br />
<br />
A handsome form, good fortune and class,<br />
<br />
Wealth and intelligence; thus seven."<br />
<br />
One supplicates that one may be sustained by these "seven qualities of a high rebirth," and especially that one's being may be enriched by the "seven noble riches". The seven noble riches are: the richness of faith, the richness of discipline, the richness of diligence, the richness of modesty, the richness of learning, the richness of generosity, and the richness of intelligence.<br />
<br />
The ultimate wish is called the supreme siddhis of mahamudra. Concerning this, the ground which is the mind-essence of all sentient beings, the sugatagarbha, abides primordially as the nature of buddhahood. Yet, without recognizing it, one's "natural face", one has become veiled by the two obscurations and the habitual patterns and has then wandered through samsara. By means of practicing the path, the unity of the two accumulations or the unity of development and completion as a remedy for these two obscurations, the fruition, realizing the natural state as it is after purifying into dharmadhatu the passing stains of this naturally pure mind-essence endowed with the nature of the four kayas and five wisdoms is called "the attainment of are the supreme siddhis". One therefore supplicates, "quickly and without the being dependent upon effort and struggle, please bless me with the automatic or spontaneous fulfillment of all my temporary and ultimate wishes!"<br />
<br />
The supreme of swift paths, the most eminent of all,<br />
<br />
Is this excellent guru supplication.<br />
<br />
Adhere to it, you who long<br />
<br />
For all the goodness and desirable things of this life and of the future.<br />
<br />
Through the virtue of endeavoring in this may I and other beings<br />
<br />
Be accepted by Guru Rinpoche in all our lives,<br />
<br />
And with the fulfillment of the wishes for the two benefits,<br />
<br />
May the auspiciousness of welfare and happiness flourish.<br />
<br />

Gracious Lord of all the Buddha Families,<br />
The nature and embodiment of every refuge,<br />
To you, the Lotus-Born, my jeweled crown, I bow in homage!<br />
<br />
If I were to instruct others in the excellent way, who on earth would listen? For I am wholly without discrimination and cannot be a guide even for myself! Still, you see me with pure vision and you did ask. So rather than being a disappointment, I will say a few things as they come to mind.<br />
<br />
All success, great and small, whether in spiritual or temporal affairs, derives from your stock of merit. So never neglect even the slightest positive deed. Just do it. In the same way, don't dismiss your little faults as unimportant; just restrain yourself! Make an effort to accumulate merit: make offerings and give in charity. Strive with a good heart to do everything that benefits others. Follow in the footsteps of the wise and examine finely everything you do. Do not be the slave of unexamined fashions. Be sparing with your words. Be thoughtful rather, and examine situations carefully. For the roots of discrimination must be nourished: the desire to do all that should be done and to abandon all that should be abandoned.<br />
<br />
Do not criticize the wise or be sarcastic about them. Rid yourself completely of every feeling of jealous rivalry. Do not despise the ignorant, turning away from them with haughty arrogance. Give up your pride. Give up your self-importance. All this is essential. Understand that you owe your life to the kindness of your parents. Therefore do not grieve them but fulfill their wishes. Show courtesy and consideration to all who depend on you. Instill in them a sense of goodness and instruct them in the practice of virtue and the avoidance of evil. Be patient with their little shortcomings and restrain your bad temper, remembering that it only takes the tiniest thing to ruin a good situation.<br />
<br />
Do not consort with narrow-minded people, nor place your trust in new and untried companions. Make friends with honest people who are intelligent and prudent and have a sense of propriety and courtesy. Don't keep company with bad people, who care nothing about karma, who lie and cheat and steal. Distance yourself, but do it skillfully. Do not rely on people who say sweet things to your face and do the reverse behind your back.<br />
<br />
As for yourself, be constant amid the ebb and flow of happiness and suffering. Be friendly and even with others. Unguarded, intemperate chatter will put you in their power; excessive silence may leave them unclear as to what you mean. So keep a middle course: don't swagger with self-confidence, but don't be a doormat either. Don't run after gossip without examining the truth of it. People who know how to keep their mouths shut are rare. So don't chatter about your wishes and intentions; keep them to yourself. And whether you are speaking to an enemy, an acquaintance or a friend, never break a confidence.<br />
<br />
Be welcoming with people, and smile and talk pleasantly. And keep to your position. Be respectful towards your superiors, even when things do not go well for them. Don't scorn them. At the same time, don't bow and scrape before the vulgar, even when they are proud and full of themselves.<br />
<br />
Be skillful in not making promises that you know you cannot keep. By the same token, honor the promises you have made, and never dismiss them as unimportant. Do not be depressed by misfortune and the failure to get what you want. Instead be careful to see where your real profit and loss lie.<br />
<br />
All such worldly conduct, adopted with proper discrimination, will result in this life's fortune and prosperity and, so it is said, a speedy passage to the divine realms.<br />
<br />
If, however, you want to get out of samsara completely, here is some advice that should help you on your way to liberation.<br />
<br />
If you have no contentment, you are poor no matter how much money you have. So decide that you have enough, and rid yourself of yearning and attachment. It's a rare person indeed who knows that wealth is passing and unstable and who can therefore practice perfect generosity. For even those who do practice it, generosity is often soiled by the three impurities and is wasted, like good food mixed with poison.<br />
<br />
Apart from the beings agonizing in hell, there is no one in samsara who does not cherish life. Now, of the seven excellencies of the higher realms, longevity is a karmic effect similar to its cause. Therefore, if you want to live long protect the lives of others; concentrate on doing this!<br />
<br />
Cultivate faith and devotion to the Three Jewels and to your teacher! Strive in the ten virtues and combine clear intelligence with extensive learning. And nurture a sense of personal integrity and propriety with regard to others. With these seven sublime riches you will always be happy!<br />
<br />
To gain peace and happiness for oneself is the hinayana approach of the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas. The altruism of bodhichitta is the path of beings of great potential. Therefore train yourself in the deeds of bodhisattvas, and do this on a grand scale! Shoulder the responsibility of freeing all beings from samsara. Of all the eighty-four thousand sections of the Buddha's teachings, there is nothing more profound than bodhichitta. Therefore make every effort on the path, uniting absolute and relative bodhichitta, which distills the essence of all the sutras and the tantras. The subduing of one's own mind is the root of dharma. When the mind is controlled, defilements naturally subside.<br />
<br />
Do not allow yourself to become impervious and blasé with regard to the dharma; do not lead yourself astray. Let the profound dharma sink into your mind. Now that you have obtained this excellent life, so hard to find, now that you have the freedom to practice the teachings, don't waste your time. Strive to accomplish the supreme, unchanging goal. For life is passing, and there is no certainty about the time of death. Even if you are to die tomorrow, you should have confidence and be without regret.<br />
<br />
Therefore, cultivate a real devotion for your root teacher, and love your vajra kindred, cultivating pure perception in their regard. Fortunate are those disciples who at all times keep their samaya and vows as dearly as their lives. They gain accomplishment quickly.<br />
<br />
Ignorance, the five poisons, doubt and dualistic clinging are the roots of samsara, and the sufferings of the three realms. To this there is one antidote that removes or "liberates" everything in a single stroke. It is spontaneous wisdom, the primal wisdom of awareness. Be confident, therefore, in the generation stage: appearances, sounds and thoughts are but the primordial display of deity, mantra and primal wisdom. Then settle in the "subsequent" (anuyoga) path of the three specific perceptions, the perfection stage, the state of bliss and emptiness.<br />
<br />
Take your stand on the ultimate practice of the Heart Essence—samsara and nirvana are the display of awareness. Without distraction, without meditation, in a state of natural relaxation, constantly remain in the pure, all-penetrating nakedness of ultimate reality.<br />

<span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);font-size:85%;" > Born 166 years after the Parinirvana of Lord Buddha in Oddiyana northwest of India, Garab Dorje an emanation of Vajrasattva, was the first human teacher of the Atiyoga Tantras (Dzogchen or Great Perfection) in its current cycle. From the age of seven, he defeated the pandits of Oddiyana and India with his teaching that Dzogchen and it's state of Rigpa (enlightenment or self-originated intrinsic Awareness) goes beyond the law of karma and the law of cause and effect. At his passing into the 'Body of Light', he gave his disciple Manjushrimitra what have become known as the Three Statements or Three Testaments. <b>[1]</b><br />
<br />
In his book The Crystal and the Way of Light, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche renders them as follows:<br />
<br />
<b>1. DIRECT INTRODUCTION</b> to the primordial state is transmitted straight away by the master to the disciple. The master always remains in the primordial state, and the presence of the state communicates itself to the disciple in whatever situation or activity they may share.<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> The DISCIPLE enters into non-dual contemplation and, experiencing the primordial state, <b>NO LONGER REMAINS IN ANY DOUBT</b> as to what it is.<br />
<br />
<b>3. THE DISCIPLE CONTINUES IN THE STATE</b> of non-dual contemplation, the primordial state, bringing contemplation into every action, until that which is every individual’s true condition from the beginning (the Dharmakaya), but which remains obscured by dualistic vision, is made real, or realized. One continues right up to Total Realization.<br />
<br />
Dudjom Rinpoche writes:</span></span> <br />

<center><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><strong> <b>A Short Commentary on the Three Statements of Garab Dorje</b><br />
<b>by Dudjom Rinpoche</b></strong></span></center><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"> <b>I.</b> As for the <b>direct introduction</b> to one's own nature: This fresh immediate awareness of the present moment, transcending all thoughts related to the three times, is itself that primordial awareness or Knowledge (ye-shes) that is self-originated intrinsic Awareness (Rig-pa). This is the direct introduction to one's own nature.<br />
<br />
<b>II.</b> As for <b>deciding definitively</b> upon this unique state: Whatever phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana may manifest, all of them represent the play of the creative energy or potentiality of one's own immediate intrinsic Awareness (Rig-pa'i rtsal). Since there is nothing that goes beyond just this, one should continue in the state of this singular and unique Awareness. Therefore, one must definitively decide upon this unique state for oneself and know that there exists nothing other than this.<br />
<br />
<b>III.</b> As for <b>directly continuing</b> with confidence in liberation: Whatever gross or subtle thoughts may arise, by merely recognizing their nature, they arise and (self-) liberate simultaneously in the vast expanse of the Dharmakaya, where Emptiness and Awareness (are inseparable). Therefore, one should continue directly with confidence in their liberation.<br />
<br />
That is pure Dzogchen Atiyoga. A Dzogchen Master STARTS with "direct introduction" with everyone. If they don't "get it" then one starts to use all the infinite methods and means to help bring about the experience of Rigpa. When one has the experience of Rigpa, then one confirms the validity of one's path now being "remaining with Rigpa" as path. Then, one simply continues in that state. Rigpa is the view to be experienced, Rigpa is the path to be followed, and Rigpa is the fruit of the path. There is no change in Rigpa, either in the beginning, middle or end. The fruit is your first realization of Rigpa. There are no Stages of Rigpa. Thogel does not modify Rigpa. <br />

Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, who led a life encompassing the activities of one hundred tertons (treasure revealers), has said that Mopa Od Thaye (Dudjom Rinpoche's future incarnation as the last Buddha of this Light Aeon) will have the activity of one thousand Buddhas. That this great being will perform the activity of all his previous lives and have many disciples is all due to his own power of Bodhicitta and prayers.<br />

<b><center>Rinpoche's Birth</center></b><br />
<b> It is said in the prediction of Urgyen Dechen Lingpa:</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> "In the future in Tibet, on the east of the Nine Peaked Mountain, in the sacred Buddhafield of the self-originated Vajravarahi, there will be an emanation of Drogben, of royal lineage, named Jnana. His beneficial activities are in accord with the Vajrayana although he conducts himself differently, unexpectedly, as a little boy with astonishing intelligence. He will either discover new Terma or preserve the old Terma. Whoever has connections with him will be taken to Ngayab Ling (Zangdok Palri) [The Copper-colored Mountain]."<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche was born in the Water Dragon year of the 15th Rabjung Cycle- (1904), early in the morning of the tenth day of the sixth month, with many amazing signs. (on June 10, 1904), into a noble family in the southeastern Tibetan province of Pemakod, one of the four "hidden lands" of Guru Rinpoche. Dudjom Rinpoche was of royal lineage, descended fron Nyatri Zangpo and from Puwoo Kanam Dhepa, the king of Powo. His father, Kathok Tulku Norbu Tenzing,was a famous tulku of the Pema Köd region, from Kathok monastery; his mother , who had descended from Ratna Lingpa and belonged to the local member of the Pemakod tribe, was called Namgyal Drolma.<br />
<br />
<b>* His previous incarnation, Dudjom Lingpa, had told his disciples:</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> "Now in this degenerate age, go to the secret land of Pema Köd. Whoever relies on me, go in that direction! Before you young ones get there, I the old one will already be there."<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> He was already three years old when they recognized his reincarnation. Since His Holiness was a direct emanation of Dudjom Lingpa, he could remember his past lives clearly.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> <b>Conditions for Rinpoche's Rebirth</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> It had been Dudjom Lingpa's intention to visit southern Tibet to reveal the sacred land of Pemakod, but being unable to do so, he predicted that his successor would be born there and reveal it himself. Za-Pokhung Tulku Gyurme Ngedon Wangpo, who was a holder of the teachings of Dudjom Lingpa, and Lama Thubten Chonjor of Ling came to Pemakod and enthroned him. Gradually the disciples of the previous Dudjom came and paid their respects to him... as we have said, Phuktrul Gyurme NgedonWangpo and Lama Thubten Chönjor of Ling came to Pema Köd to enthrone him. Gradually the disciples of the previous Dudjom arrived. His Holiness was taught reading, writing and the five common sciences.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> <b>Rinpoche's Intensive Studies</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Rinpoche's studies began with texts and commentaries under Khenpo Aten. By the age of five, Dudjom Rinpoche was already discovering treasure texts and practices. He studied under Dudjom Lingpa's doctrine holders, Patrul Rinpoche's disciples, Mipham Rinpoche's disciples and Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro. He studied many texts and commentaries, such as the Dom Sum (Three Precepts), Chod Juk, etc. It was said by Lama Konrab that at the age of five, he started discovering Ter. When he was eight years old, he began to study Santideva's "Bodhicaryavatara" with his teacher Urygen Chogyur Gyatso, a personal disciple of the great Patrul Rinpoche (A.D.1808-1887). He studied for sixteen years with Za-Pokhung Tulku Gyurme Ngedon Wangpo and had great realizations on the teachings of Dzogpachenpo. From Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro, he received the tantric teachings (Gyud, Lung, and Men-Ngag) of the "Sangwa Nyingthig". He further received Dzogchen teachings from Jedrung Thinley Jampai Jungne (Dudjom Namkhai Dorje) of Riwoche.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> In his teens, Dudjom Rinpoche attended the great monastic universities of Central Tibet, such as Mindroling, Dorje Drak and Tarje Tingpoling, as well as those of East Tibet, like Kathok and Dzogchen. It was to Mindroling that he returned to perfect his understanding of the Nyingma tradition. Thus from the Mindroling Vajracarya, Dorzim Namdrol Gyatso, he learned the rituals, mandalas, songs, dance and music of Terdak Lingpa, along with many other teachings. There were many other great teachers from whom Rinpoche had received all the teachings of the Nyingma School.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> From Phokang Tulku Gyurmed Ngedon Wangpo, his guru, who had been the foremost disciple of Dudjom Lingpa, His Holiness' previous incarnation he received the Dzogchen Nyongtri lineage .<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Dudjom Rinpoche attended various monastic shedras such as Mindroling, Dorje Drak, Kathok and Dzogchen. He also became learned in the rituals of the Terton Terdak Lingpa. He received all the Dzogchen teachings from Jedrung Rinpoche and was considered his heart son. Rinpoche became accomplished in the Vajrakilaya practice. He meditated at many isolated places and signs of accomplishment occurred.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> As he was taught, the power of his awareness blazed like fire. Whatever he learned he could comprehend through a mere indication. He studied many texts and commentaries, such as the Dom Sum, Chod Juk, etc. It is said by Lama Konrab that at the age of five, he started discovering Ter. He studied for sixteen years with Phuktrul Gyurme Ngedon Wangpo, who was a holder of the teachings of the previous Dudjom. From Khyentse Rinpoche he received the tantric teachings (Gyud, Lung, and Men-Ngag) of the Sangwa Nyingthik as if he were a vessel being filled. He also received the "rediscovered teachings from Gedrung Thinley Jampa Jungne of Riwoche and Gyurme Ngedon Wangpo that he could really understand.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> With the first Lama, he started fron Ngondro to Ngo Shi, studying completely. By listening to the She Rig Dorje Nonpo Gyud, the display of his own intelligence burst open. All of the tantras of Vajrayana, as vast as the ocean, and all of their difficult points, unfolded naturally. His Holiness would often say, "All I know is thanks to the She Rig Dorje Nonpo Gyud."<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Ngedon Wangpo said to him, "The Terdzöd represents the activity of Khyentse and Kongtrul. I have given this teaching five times and you will give it ten times. The deep teachings of the previous ones have been offered as a mandala in the hands of the 'Wealth Holders'. Now as I have obeyed my teacher's orders, likewise use your experience for the sake of beings." His Holiness obtained realization through this. He himself said that while very young he always had various visions, and his karma to discover the deep 'treasures' awoke. At thirteen he met Guru Rinpoche (Yab-Yum) in person, and after having received the legacy of the self-appearing non-human teacher, the wisdom Dakinis gave him the yellow papers and he wrote down Ters.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> From Togden Tenpa he received both the wang and lung of the Dzogchen Nyingthig Yabshi, which was the lineage of Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpai Nyima. Then he went to the center of the country and from Jedrung Rinpoche of Riwoche, Dudjom Namkhai Dorje, he received the Kangyur lung, Dam Ngag Dzöd, the seventeen Sangchen Ngepai tantras, Nyingthig Yabshi, etc., and all the teachings of the Dzogpachenpo. He received them completely and was considered his teacher's heart son. From Tulku Kunzang Thekchog Tenpai Gyaltsen he also received many deep teachings.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> From Ngagtsun Gendun Gyatso he received all the teachings of Pema Lingpa, the Dzöd Dun, and others. From Mindroling Vajracharya, Namdrol Gyatso, he learned the rituals, mandalas, songs, dance and music of Tertag Lingpa, along with many other teachings. From the great Khenpo Jamde, also called Pande Odzer (a disciple of Mipham Rinpoche), he received the Nyingma Kama, Khagyed empowerments, Sangye Lingpa's Lama Gongdu and Sangwa Nyingpo according to the Zur tradition; as well as the cycle of the Odsel Sangwa Nyingthig. He also received many tantra commentaries like the great commentaries of Mipham himself, the Nyingthig Yabshi, etc. - thus receiving an ocean of deep and detailed teachings. His Holiness considered Khenpo Jamde as his second kindest Lama and took many vows of Pratimoksha, Bodhisattva, and the Vajrayana from him.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> He also received teachings from the great beings who were disciples of the great Khenpo Nyoshul: Ngawang Palzang, Chatral Sangye Dorje, Lama Orgyan Rigdzin, Kathok Chagtsa Tulku, Pulung Sangye Tulku, and others. He received teachings from them and he gave teachings to them.<br />
<br />
<b><center>Rinpoche's Great Realizations</center></b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Taking his practice very seriously, he sent to a secret place called Kenpa Jong or Punsuk Gatsel, and accomplished the Dorje Phurba of "Dudjom Namchag Pudri". He practiced throughly the gradual path of Dudjom Namchag Putri. At Buddha Tse Phuk he did Tse-Drub and his Tse-chang boiled. He received the auspicious signs when he was practicing the gong-ter of Duddul Drollo (the Dudjom Dorje Drollo gong-ter). When in Paro Taksang (the Tiger's Nest), he rediscovered the Putri Repung, the Tsokye Thugthig and the Khadro Thugthig, for which he wrote down the main parts. As he was trying to preserve the old Ter, he did not make much effort to rediscover new ones. (At Samye and at Taksang, even though they were there he did not take them.) In short, in all these important holy places where he practiced he always experienced the signs of accomplishment.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Then he started benefitting beings. As his teachers prophesied. he gave the Rinchen Terdzöd (Empowerments and Transmissions) ten times, Pema Lingpa's Palden Chö Kor three times, the previous Dudjom Lingpa's work many times; the Jatsun Po Truk, the complete empowerment and transmission of Nyingma Kama and innumerable other teachings.]]<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Dudjom Rinpoche was world famous as a very prolific author and a scholar. His writings are celebrated for the encyclopaedic knowledge they display of all the traditional branches of Buddhist learning, including poetics, history, medicine, astrology and philosophy. A writer of inspirational poetry of compelling beauty, he had a special genius for expressing the meaning and realization of Dzogchen with a crystal-like lucidity.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> His "Collected Works" (Sungbum), numbering twenty-five volumes, did not include his complete output. Among the most widely read of his works are the "Fundamentals of the Buddhist Teachings" and "History of the Nyingma School", which he composed soon after his arrival in India. These works have now been translated into English by Gyurme Dorje and Matthew Kapstein and published by Wisdom Publications, while his Chinese spiritual representative Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsan (Guru Lau Yui-che), with the help of Ming-chu Tulku, had also translated it into Chinese and published by the Secret Vehicle Publications in Hong Kong and Taiwan.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Another important and major part of his work was the revision, correction and editing of many ancient and modern texts, including the fifty-eight volumes of the whole of the Canonical Teachings of the Nyingma School ("Nyingma Kama"), a venture which he began at the age of 74, just as Jamgon Kongtrul had collected the Terma teachings. His own private library contains the largest collection of precious manuscripts and books outside of Tibet.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> <b>Rinpoche's Spreading of the Dharma</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> In Pema Köd, he established many new monasteries for both Gelong (ordained monks) and Ngagpa (Yogis). He regrouped many texts. Nowadays, in this tradition both the books and the stream of empowerment exist and survive solely due to his kindness, which is impossible to measure. In Kompo region he reconstructed the Thadul Buchu Lhakhang and close to it he built anew the monastery of Zangdokpalri. He erected anew the tantric center of Lama Ling; at Tso Pema (Rewalsar) he established a retreat center; at Darjeeling, Tsechü Gompa; in Orissa, Dudul Rabten Ling; and in Kalimpong he founded the Zangdok-Palri Monastery. In North America he established many Dharma centers, named Yeshe Nyingpo, as well as many retreat centers; in Europe he established Dorje Nyingpo in Paris and Urgyen Samye Chöling Meditation and Study Center in Dordogne, France. Many other Dharma centers around the world were under his guidance.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Whenever he gave teachings in Tibet and India, great teachers - like the two Mindrolings, Trulshik Rinpoche, Chatral Sangye Dorje, and others - came to receive them. Among all the high lamas there are none who didn't receive teachings from him. They all had great confidence in his realization. So numerous were his disciples that they can't possibly be counted. Nyingmapas from Tibet, Bhutan, India, Ladakh and all around the globe were his students.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Unique in having received the transmission of all the existing teachings of the immensely rich Nyingma tradition, Dudjom Rinpoche was famous in particular as a great Terton (treasure revealer), whose Termas are now widely taught and practiced, and as the leading exponent of Dzogchen. Indeed, he was regarded as the living embodiment of Guru Rinpoche and His representative in this time. A master of masters, he was acknowledged by the leading Tibetan Lamas as possessing the greatest power and blessing in communicating the nature of mind, and it was to him that they sent their students when prepared for this "Mind-direct" transmission. Dudjom Rinpoche was the teacher of many of the most prominent lamas active today.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> As his teachers had prophesized, Rinpoche gave the "Rinchen Terdzod" ("Treasury of Precious Termas") ten times, Pema Lingpa's "Pedling Cho Kor" three times, the "Kangyur" and "Nyingma Gyudbum", the Drupwang of "Kagyed", "Jatson Podruk", the complete empowerment and transmission of the "Nyingma Kama", as well as teachings according to his own Terma ("Dudjom Tersar") tradition, and innumerable other important teachings. Dudjom Rinpoche's main area of activity was in Central Tibet, where he maintained the Mindroling tradition, and especially at Pema Choling and his other seats in the Kongpo and Powo regions of southern Tibet. In Pemakod, Rinpoche established many new monasteries and two colleges for both Gelong (ordained monks) and Ngagpa (yogis). In the Kongpo region, he reconstructed the Thadul Buchu Lhakhang, and close to it he built anew the monastery of Zangdok Palri. He also erected anew the tantric centre of Lama Ling. Dudjom Rinpoche became renowned throughout Tibet for the brilliance of his spiritual achievements, for his compassionate Bodhisattva activities, as well as for his unsurpassed scholarship.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Upon leaving Tibet, Dudjom Rinpoche settled in Kalimpong in India in 1958, and then in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1975. When the Tibetan culture was at a difficult time, Rinpoche played a key role in its renaissance among the refugee community, both through his teachings and his writings. He established a number of vital communities of practitioners in India and Nepal. At Tsopema (Rewalsar), he established a retreat centre; at Darjeeling, Rinpoche established Tsechu Gompa; in Orissa, he founded Dudul Rabten Ling; and in Kalimpong, Rinpoche founded Zangdok Palri Monastery. Near the Great Stupa at Boudhanath, Nepal, Rinpoche erected the Dudjom Gompa. He also actively encouraged the study of the Nyingma tradition at the Tibetan Institute for Higher Studies in Sarnath.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> In other parts of the world, Dudjom Rinpoche had also made tremendous progress in various Dharma activities. He founded many Dharma centres in the West, including Dorje Nyingpo and Orgyen Samye Choling in France, and Yeshe Nyingpo and Orgyen Cho Dzong in the United States. Over the last one-and-a-half-decades of his life, Dudjom Rinpoche devoted much of his time ot teaching in the West where he has successfully established the Nyingma tradition. In his first world-wide tour in 1972, Dudjom Rinpoche visited the centre of his Chinese spiritual representative Lama Sonam Chokyi Gyaltsan in Hong Kong, and also visited London at the invitation of Ven. Sogyal Rinpoche.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> <b>Rinpoche's Children and Lineage Holders</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, Manifested as a householder with family, married twice.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> His first wife was called Sangyum Kusho Tseten Yudron, and they had altogether six children, including two daughters and four sons. Their eldest daughter, Dechen Yudron, is now in Lhasa, Tibet and is taking care of Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's seat Lama Ling in Kongpo.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Their eldest son Kyabje Dungsay Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, who is himself a great Nyingma scholar and master like his father. Their second son is Dola Tulku Jigmed Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche of mainly the Sakya lineage, and he is now the father of Kyabje Dudjom Yangsi Rinpoche. Their second daughter, Pema Yudron, lives near Dola Rinpoche in Qinghai. Their third son, Pende Norbu, who is also a tulku, is now living in Nepal. Their fourth son, Dorje Palzang, went to school in Beijing in the late fifties but was unfortunately killed during the Cultural Revolution.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Kyabje Dudjom Rinohce's second wife is called Sangyum Kusho Rikzin Wangme, and they had three children, including one son and two daughters. Their eldest daughter is Chimey Wangmo, and their younger daughter is Tsering Penzom. Their son is Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpohce who is spreading his father's teachings in both Europe and the United States.]]<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> <b>Rinpoche's Parinirvana</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, who led a life encompassing the activities of one hundred tertons (treasure revealers), has said that Mopa Od Thaye (Dudjom Rinpoche's future incarnation as the last Buddha of this Light Aeon) will have the activity of one thousand Buddhas. That this great being will perform the activity of all his previous lives and have many disciples is all due to his own power of Bodhicitta and prayers. As Buddha Shakyamuni, even though enlightened, performed the illusory activity of dying for the benefit of worldly beings, likewise Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche entered into Mahaparinirvana on January 17, 1987.<br />

<br />
<b><center>A Short Introduction of the Dudjom Tersar Lineage by Yeshe Thaye</center></b><br />
<br />
<b>* The Great Terton Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904)</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> In general, the "Lineage" of a "Tersar" tradition comes from those new "treasures" (termas) of an individual terton, and should include the initiations (wang), scriptural transmissions (lung), and oral teachings (tri) of all the important practices and sadhanas of that particular tradition. Such are the cases with the "Chokling Tersar" and the "Dudjom Tersar" Hence, it is not necessary to include all the writings of the Terton himself (except those related commentaries on those practices). For example, the 25 volumes of Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's Collected Works (Sungbum) include both his Tersar as well as his other writings.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> The "Dudjom Tersar" as a Lineage forms a whole system by itself, and thus it does not include the works or termas of other Masters. However, there are cases that the works and termas of other great Masters are also included simply because of the realizations of the terton himself, such as Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, that he felt it to be more beneficial to all sentient beings by either having some of the long termas of other tertons to be condensed, or by elaborating on some of the more concise termas of other tertons, or both. In any case, the terton himself had done so with a pure intention to benefit all others through his own realizations. For example, there are two important practices on the Khandro Thugthig which was written by Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche that has been included in the Vol.16 of the Dudjom Sungbum by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche himself. Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche had done so when he was still in Lhasa, as he thought this to be most appropriate and beneficial to all sentient beings.<br />
<br />
<b>* Terchen Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (1904-1987)</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> One important thing that differentiates the important works of these great Masters, as compared with the commentaries on both sutras and tantras by other teachers, is the fact that these works are the true realizations of these great Masters who had truly experienced the Dharmata, in order that these works will have the blessings and the continuity of the Lineage all through its Lineage Holders. Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche was being appointed by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche as his principal Doctrine-Holder (Chodak) of the "Dudjom Tersar" lineage. (Please refer to the letter written by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche in appointing Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche as his Vajra Regent, as recorded in the life story of Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> <b>Prayer for the Preservation of the Dudjom Lineage</b><br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Padmasambhava's tradition is the Early Translation Great Perfection School and Dudjom Lingpa is the chariot of the essential true meaning. May his profound treasure doctrine be preserved until the end of cyclic existence, without sinking, through study and practice.<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> It was predicted by Urgyen Dechen Lingpa that "in the future in Tibet, on the east of the Nine-Peaked Mountain, in the sacred Buddhafield of the self-originated Vajravarahi, there will be an emanation of Drogben, of royal lineage, named Jnana. His beneficial activities are in accord with the Vajrayana although he conducts himself differently, unexpectedly, as a little boy with astonishing intelligence. He will either discover new Terma or preserve the old Terma. Whoever has connections with him will be taken to Ngayab Ling (Zangdok Palri)."<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>* Dudjom Tersar</b><br />
<br />
Dudjom Tersar is the collective name for the large collection of terma teachings revealed by Dudjom Lingpa and Dudjom Rinpoche. As a class of texts, Tersar (gTer gSar) means 'new or recently revealed treasure teachings'. Dudjom Rinpoche was a major terton (wylie: gTer sTon) or treasure revealer of hidden teachings. Dudjom Rinpoche is considered one of the 'Hundred Great Tertons' in the Nyingma lineage.<br />
<br />
Most terma are small in scale and major cycles are rare. Those containing many major cycles such as Dudjom Tersar are even rarer historically. The Dudjom Tersar is possibly the most comprehensive suite of terma to be revealed in the twentieth century. Since terma traditionally are considered to be discovered during the time it is most needed, the most recently discovered terma may be the most pertinent to current needs. Recent terma is then considered to 'still have the warm fresh breath of the Dakinis'.<br />
<br />
A set of preliminary practices known as Dudjom Tersar ngöndro has to be undertaken by beginners prior to higher initiations. Dudjom Tersar contains different cycles. Some are comprehensive, from beginning instruction through the highest Dzogchen teachings. There are also smaller cycles and individual practices for specific purposes.<br />
<br />
There are four major cycles in the "Dudjom Tersar" of <b>Dudjom Lingpa</b>, the first three being Mind Treasures (Wylie: dGongs gTer) and the last one an Earth Treasure (Wylie: wSa gTer):<br />
<br />
<b>¦</b> (a) The "<b>Dagnang Yeshe Drawa</b>" cycle (The Wisdom Nets of Pure Visions), such as the Troma teachings;<br />
<b>¦</b> (b) The "<b>Maha-Ati Yoga Zabcho Gongpa Rangdrol</b>" cycle (The Profound Teachings on Naturally Self-liberating Enlightened Visions), such as the teachings of Chenrezig;<br />
<b>¦</b> (c) The "<b>Chonyid Namkhai Longdzo</b>" cycle (the Vast Space Treasure from the Wisdom Sky of the Ultimate Nature), with teachings of Thekchod and Thodgal; and<br />
<b>¦</b> (d) The "<b>Khandro Nyingthig</b>" cycle.<br />
<br />
There are four major cycles in the "Dudjom Tersar" of Kyabje <b>Dudjom Rinpoche</b>, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, which are all Mind Treasures (Wylie:dGongs gTer):<br />
<br />
<b>¦</b> (a) The "<b>Tsokyi Thugthig</b>" cycle, for the practices on the outer, inner, secret and innermost secret sadhanas of the Lama;<br />
<b>¦</b> (b) The "<b>Pudri Rekpung</b>" cycle, for the practices of the Yidam;<br />
<b>¦</b> (c) The "<b>Khandro Thugthig</b>" cycle, for the practices on the outer, inner, secret and innermost secret sadhanas of the Khandro; and<br />
<b>¦</b> (d) The "<b>Dorje Drollod</b>" cycle.[18]<br />
<br />
<b>* </b> Here in the "Dudjom Tersar" there is a cycle of "Khandro Nyingthig" discovered by Dudjom Lingpa, while there is another cycle of "Khandro Thugthig" discovered by Kyabje Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje. Then, there are two other two cycles of Dorje Phurba, namely: (i) The "Thugdrub Sangwai Gyachan" cycle; and (ii) The "Thugdrub Yeshe Nyima" cycle, both of which are included in the "Khandro Nyingthig" cycle of Dudjom Lingpa. At the same time, there is the cycle of "Namchag Pudri" revealed by Dudjom Lingpa, and the cycle of "Pudri Rekpung" revealed by Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, both are of the yidam Dorje Phurba.<br />

<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"> This essential cycle of teachings<br />
Is neither Kama nor Terma,<br />
Much less Pure Vision or Oral Transmission.<br />
It is the design of my conceptual undercurrents.<br />
<br />
When the great drum of the all-ground buddha nature<br />
Is exhorted by the drumstick of earnest endeavor,<br />
The natural sound of Dharma which arises<br />
Illustrates unborn sound-emptiness.<br />
<br />
Although it is not certain that this method<br />
Will accomplish the benefit of self and others,<br />
If one has a mind of heartfelt firm conviction,<br />
What certainty is there that it will not be accomplished?<br />
<br />
Since there is no intention to deceive others,<br />
Texts which accord with Dharma are free of fault.<br />
As for the hope of pleasing foolish people<br />
Or the fear of scholars' criticisms -- I have neither.<br />
<br />
I, a crazy one with no hope or fear,<br />
Have elucidated these instructions, not claiming they are or are not anything.<br />
A few people who are free of doubt<br />
May possibly attain the infallible result.<br />
<br />
Thus I have spoken.<br />
May it be virtuous!<br />

<br />
The first thing is Dzogchen vision which sees what really is -- the nature of mind itself. <br />
This is the natural state of being, where the mind makes no distinctions and judgments. <br />
This state of awareness is called rigpa. <br />
Rigpa is naked awareness of the wholistic here and now. <br />
<br />
We cannot actually express this awareness and there is nothing to compare it to in order to describe it. <br />
It is certainly not the ordinary state of emotional confusion and conflicting thoughts, <br />
but neither is it nirvanic cessation. <br />
<br />
This state cannot be produced or developed, and on the other hand it cannot be stopped or extinguished. <br />
We can never be free of it and nor can we fall into error in it. <br />
It is impossible to say that we actually exist at that moment but we cannot say that we do not exist. <br />
This experience is neither of infinity, nor of anything specific.<br />
<br />
So, to be brief, because the nature of mind, <br />
the Great Perfection, rigpa, <br />
cannot be established as any specific thing, state, or action, <br />
it has the original face of emptiness which makes it pure from the beginning, <br />
all pervasive and all-penetrating. <br />
<br />
Because the unobstructed lustre of Emptiness and the entire gamut of experience <br />
whether confused or transcendant are like the sun and its rays, <br />
Emptiness is experienced positively as everything and anything whatsoever <br />
and it has the intrinsic nature of non-dual awareness of the spontaneously arisen universe of pure quality. <br />
<br />
For this reason the recognition of the presence of what is, <br />
as the primordial natural state of being, <br />
the Real Self of the Three Buddha Bodies, <br />
intrinsic awareness as the union of light and emptiness, <br />
is called the vision of the inconceivable Great Perfection.</span></p><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);font-size:85%;" ><br />

<b>GU YANG LO DE'I LA MA NYING Ü NE NYE JUNG</b><br />
The Lama of the vast expanse of serene joy is discovered in the heart,<br />
<br />
<b>NYUG MA'I SEM 'DI LA MA'I RANG ZHIN DU TOG TS'E</b><br />
And when this innate mind is realised to be the very nature of the Lama,<br />
<br />
<b>'DZIN SHEN SÖL 'DEB CHÖ MA'I DUG YÜ NI MA GÖ</b><br />
There is no (longer any) need for contrived and fabricated prayers of carping and complaint.<br />
<br />

By letting go in the free and natural flow of uncontrived pure awareness,<br />
<br />
<b>TE ME GANG SHAR RANG DRÖL CHIN LAB DE T'OB JUNG</b><br />
Without solidifying or holding on, the blessing of the self-liberation of whatever arises is obtained.<br />
<br />
<b>JE PA'I CHÖ KYI SANG GYE 'DRUB DU NI MI DA'</b><br />
There will never be a time when contrived practice leads to Buddhahood:<br />
<br />
<b>YI CHÖ LÖ JE GOM 'DI LU JE KYI DRA RE</b><br />
This intellectually contrived meditation of mental analysis is a deceitful enemy.<br />
<br />
<b>DA NI 'DZIN TANG SHIG PA'I DO ME KYI NYÖN PA</b><br />
This very instant, (let) mental grasping fall apart with the abandon of a madman,<br />
<br />
<b>JUNG GYÄL CHER NYÄL NGANG LA MI TS'E 'DI KYEL TONG</b><br />
And let this human life be spent in a state of spontaneous and naked ease:<br />
<br />
<b>GANG TAR JE KYANG GA'O DZOG CHEN GYI NÄL 'JOR</b><br />
Joyful in whatever he does, the yogin-practitioner of the Great Perfection;<br />
<br />
<b>SU DANG 'DROG KYANG KYI DO PE 'JUNG GI BU GYÜ</b><br />
Happy in any company, the Lineage-Son of the Lotus Born.<br />
<br />

Peerless Protector, Great Tertön Lama;<br />
<br />
<b>CHÖ LA DO DA ME DO K'AN 'DRO YI NYING T'IG</b><br />
Teaching beyond compare, Heart-Essence of the Dakinis.<br />
<br />
<b>MONG CHEN NYING GI MÜN PA RANG MÄL DU SANG NE</b><br />
Purifying in its own place the great ignorance darkening the heart,<br />
<br />
<b>'Ö SÄL NYI MA 'DRIB ME K'OR YUG TU 'CHAR WA'I</b><br />
The immaculate sun of radiant clarity shines forth day and night.<br />
<br />
<b>KÄL ZANG 'DI KO P'A CHIG LA MA YI KU TRIN</b><br />
This good fortune is the graciousness of the only father Lama:<br />
<br />
<b>DRIN LEN 'KOR TA' ME DO LA MA RANG DREN NO</b><br />

<br />
Sole certain and constant refuge, Lord of the Mandala,<br />
Kindly and most precious Root Lama,<br />
Hold me with your compassion — I who, heedless of death,<br />
Have squandered this precious body of freedoms and endowments on the concerns of just this life.<br />
<br />
This dream–like human life devoid of certainty,<br />
If it's happy, fine; if it's sad fine.<br />
Unconcerned with the objects of happiness and sorrow,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This human life like a butter–lamp in the wind,<br />
If its long, fine; if it's short, fine.<br />
Not seeking to tighten the grip of ego,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These discriminations and decisions like a bewildering apparition,<br />
If they're suitable and correspond, fine; if not, fine.<br />
The eight worldly dharmas cast off like so much chaff,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These friends and acquaintances like a flock of birds in a tree,<br />
If they stay around, fine; if we're separated, fine.<br />
Tying my nose–rope round my own head,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This illusory body like a tumbledown hundred–year–old ruin,<br />
If it holds up, fine; if it crumbles, fine.<br />
Not tying myself up with the effort of obtaining food, clothing and medicines,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This forms of Dharma like a child's game,<br />
If you have them, fine; if you lose them, fine.<br />
Not deceiving myself with the unimportant,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These gods and demons like reflections in a mirror,<br />
If they bring benefit, fine; if they bring harm, fine.<br />
Not taking my own deluded appearances as enemies,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This confused chatter like a discontinuous echo,<br />
If it's pleasant and agreeable, fine; if not, fine.<br />
With the Three Rare and precious Jewels and my own mind as witness,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
Things that — like a deer's antlers — are useless in times of need,<br />
If you know them, fine; if you don't, fine.<br />
Not placing my faith in various arts and sciences,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These riches and possessions like a virulent poison,<br />
If they come, fine; if they don't, fine.<br />
Not wasting this human life in dishonest acquisition,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This appearance of grandeur like a dog–turd wrapped in brocade,<br />
If I have it, fine; if not, fine.<br />
Who wants to experience the stink his own rottenness face–to–face?<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These relatives by marriage like chance meetings at a market fair,<br />
If they're sociable, fine; if they're mean and unpleasant, fine.<br />
Cutting the hawser of attachment from the heart,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
All these material goods like treasures found in a dream,<br />
If I have them, fine; if I don't, fine.<br />
Not turning others' heads with false–seeming and flattery,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This rank like a tiny bird perched on a tree,<br />
If it's high, fine; if it's low, fine.<br />
Not creating the causes of my own suffering,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These evil mantras and their associated activities like a sharp weapon,<br />
If they work, fine; if not, fine.<br />
Not buying a razor to cut off my own life,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These recitations like a parrot mouthing the Mani,<br />
If they're done, fine; if not, fine.<br />
Not counting up the endless accumulations,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This long-winded mouthing of Dharma explanations like a mountain waterfall,<br />
If it's knowledgeable, fine; if not, fine.<br />
Not mistaking this scholarly blather for actual Dharma,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This intellect so swift to jump to conclusions like a pigs snout,<br />
If it's sharp, fine; if it's dull, fine.<br />
Not stirring up the pointless whirlpool of hatred and desire,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These yogic experiences like a summer stream,<br />
If they grow, fine; if they fade, fine.<br />
Not chasing after rainbows like a child,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These pure visions like a mountain storm,<br />
If they arise, fine; if not, fine.<br />
Not hanging on to these delusive experiences as real,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These freedoms and endowments like a wish–granting jewel,<br />
Without them there's no way to accomplish the Holy Dharma.<br />
Not letting them go to waste now I have them in my hand,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This glorious Lama like a lamp on the path,<br />
If you don't meet him there's no way to understand the real nature of all that exists.<br />
Not jumping off the cliff now that I know the way,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This Holy Dharma like a medicine to cure all disease,<br />
If you don't listen to it there's no way of knowing what should and shouldn't be done.<br />
Not swallowing strong poison now I know what brings benefit and harm,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This alternation of happiness and sorrow like the changing of the seasons,<br />
If you don't look into it there's no way to achieve renunciation.<br />
Since it's certain that times of sorrow will befall me by the very nature of cyclic existence,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This cyclic existence like a pebble fallen into the depths of the water,<br />
If I don't escape it now there'll be no chance of doing so later on.<br />
Taking hold of the proffered cord of compassion of the Three Rare and Precious Jewels,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These enlightened qualities of final liberation like an island of jewels,<br />
If they're not known there's no way to set about developing perseverance.<br />
Having recognised the subtle benefit in abiding victory,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These life stories of the perfectly enlightened like a quintessential nectar,<br />
If they're not understood there's no way belief can arise.<br />
Not buying my own suffering now I know the difference between victory and defeat,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This attitude of the Enlightenment Mind like a fertile field,<br />
If I don't give rise to it there's no way Buddhahood can be attained.<br />
Not sinking into idleness when there is great benefit to be gained,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This mind of mine like a chattering monkey,<br />
If I don't watch over it carefully there's no way I can rid myself of conflicting emotions.<br />
Not just doing as I please like some fool,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This attachment to self like a shadow one is born with,<br />
If I don't get rid of it there's no way I can reach a sure place of happiness.<br />
Now I've laid hands on the enemy, not befriending him,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These five poisons like embers a–glow beneath ashes,<br />
If they're not uprooted you can't dwell in the primordial state of mind itself.<br />
Not harbouring poisonous serpents in my breast,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This mindstream of mine like the hardened skin of a butter–bag,<br />
If it's not softened and tamed the Dharma won't merge with my mind.<br />
Not letting my own child indulge its whims,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These karmic traces and ingrained bad habits like the current of a river,<br />
If they're not cut off there's no way to separate oneself from worldly activity.<br />
Not selling a weapon and placing it in the very hands of the enemy,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These distractions like the never–ending ripples on water,<br />
If they're not given up there's no way one can become stable.<br />
Not choosing to practice samsara now that I can do as I please,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
These blessings of the lama like the heat warming earth and water in the springtime,<br />
If they don't enter into you there's no way you can be introduced to the nature of mind.<br />
Not making a great detour now I'm actually on the short–cut,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This isolated retreat–place like a summer field of medicinal plants,<br />
If you don't actually settle there there's no way enlightened qualities can evolve.<br />
Not wandering back to the black towns and villages now I'm actually here in the mountains,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This desire for comfort and pleasure like a demon of misfortune entering one's dwelling,<br />
Without separating yourself from it there's no way to stop striving after worldly gratification.<br />
Not making offerings to the very demon that seeks to undermine me as though he were a god,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This mindful awareness like the lock on a castle gate,<br />
If you don't maintain it there's no way to stop the movements of delusion and error.<br />
Not unbarring the door now that the thief is on his way,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This real nature like the unchanging sky,<br />
If you don't understand it there's no way you can establish the basis for the right view.<br />
Not fastening myself in my own fetters and chains,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
This pure awareness like an immaculate crystal,<br />
If you don't see it there's no way you can dissolve grasping at contrived meditations.<br />
Not looking for another when I have this inseparable companion,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
The face of ordinary awareness like an old friend long known,<br />
If it's not recognised everything you do is just a beguiling snare.<br />
Not trying to measure things with my eyes shut tight,<br />
Let me earnestly and wholeheartedly put the supreme teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
In short, if you don't give up the doings of this life,<br />
There will be no opportunity to practice the Holy Dharma at some later stage.<br />
Having resolved to show myself kindness,<br />
Let everything I do become Holy Dharma.<br />
<br />
Let me not have wrong views as regards the Lama who advises me in accordance with Dharma,<br />
Lose faith in the deity when evil karma ripens,<br />
Or give up practice when conditions are difficult.<br />
May obstacles to accomplishment such as these never arise.<br />
<br />
All these activities, whatever they may be, are as senseless as touring a wilderness.<br />
All this effort just makes the mindstream more rigid.<br />
All this thinking just feeds confusion.<br />
Everything that passes for Dharma in the mind of the ordinary man just binds one further.<br />
<br />
All this activity but nothing comes of it;<br />
All this thinking but it has no point;<br />
Need follows need but there's never time to satisfy them.<br />
Setting aside 'doing', let me have the strength to put the oral teachings into practice.<br />
<br />
If I must do something, let me start by taking the words of the Victorious Ones as witness.<br />
If something must be done, let me mix my mindstream with Dharma.<br />
If something must be accomplished, let me take my example from the stories of the lives and liberation of the saints of the past.<br />
Steeped in habit, how can I do otherwise?<br />
<br />
Keep to lowliness and humility with contentment as your treasure,<br />
Free yourself from the bonds of the eight worldly Dharmas and strive with all your heart for accomplishment.<br />
When the lama's blessing enters one's understanding becomes vast as the sky.<br />
Grant your blessings that I attain the kingdom of Samantabhadra, the All–Good Buddha.<br />

**********<br />
<br />
<br />
I bow down respectfully and take refuge at the feet of the Glorious and supreme Guru,<br />
incomparable in kindness.</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />
May we, my disciples, and I be blessed so that, the realization of the profound path being born quickly in our nature without the slightest error; we may attain the Primordial Citadel<sup>1 </sup>in this very life. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For those who, through the reunion of their perfectly pure past aspirations and potential karma, have heart-felt confidence in the Dharma of the profound and secret Great Perfection and in the Guru who reveals it, and who wish to go through the practice to its ultimate end, for all these fortunate beings here is an entrance door; the vital instructions for mountain retreat, expounding in its essential nakedness the practice of the most secret Great Perfection, put into our hands in a form that is easy to understand. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This will be explained in three main topics which should be known: <i>The Preparation</i> – having cut the ties of passion and clinging, how to purify one’s nature by keeping the mind turned towards the Dharma. <i>The Main Practice</i> – having cut misconceptions about View, Meditation, and Action, how to experience the practice. <i>The Continuation of the Practice</i> – how to keep the samaya and vows and complete all the subsequent actions of this life with Dharma. <o:p></o:p></span></p><h5 style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><br />
<br />
NOW WE WILL SAY A LITTLE ABOUT THE FIRST TOPIC: <o:p></o:p></span></h5><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Alas! Our mind – that is to say, that which is sometimes clear awareness, sometimes gloomy turmoil – arose at the very beginning simultaneously with Kuntuzangpo. Kuntuzangpo, knowing everything to be himself, is free<sup>2</sup>. We sentient beings, through not knowing, wander in endless samsara. Countless times we have taken different forms in the six realms, but all that we have done has been meaningless. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now, for once out of hundreds of times, we have obtained a human body. Unless we put into action the means for avoiding rebirth in the inferior realms of samsara, once dead where we will be reborn is uncertain; and wherever we might take birth in the six classes of beings there is nothing beyond suffering. To have obtained a human body is not enough by itself. Since the time of death is uncertain, we must practice Dharma genuinely right now. At the time of death we should, like Jetsun Mila feel no regret or self-reproach. As he said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“The Dharma tradition of myself, Milarepa, is such that one is not ashamed of oneself.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">To enter the path of Dharma, it is not enough to adopt its outer appearances. We have to sever all ties to desirable things and to activities limited to this life. Without severing these ties, we may enter once the door of Dharma with an inconsistent mind, retaining some attachment towards our native land, property, intimates, relatives, friends, and so on; but then, this mind of attachment, creating the root cause, and the objects of attachment, providing the circumstantial causes, will be joined together by Mara as the obstacles. Becoming involved once again with common worldliness, our destiny will regress. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Therefore, giving less importance to food, clothing, and mere talk, without clinging to the eight worldly concerns<sup>3</sup>, we should one-pointedly focus our mind on Dharma. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“In the lonely place The-Thought-of-Death-Fixed-in-the-Heart The hermit Deeply-Disgusted-with-Attachments Draws the boundaries of his retreat by renouncing the thoughts of this life, And does not meet those known as the Eight Worldly Dharmas.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We should act like Gyalwa Yang Gönpa. Otherwise, Dharma mixed with the eight worldly concerns is extremely dangerous, like food mixed with poison. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The eight worldly dharmas can be condensed into hope and doubt, which mean attachment and aversion. Internal attachment and aversion you cannot get away from Semno and Gyalpo, and obstacles will not cease. So, is there any conceited attachment to the things of this life and to the eight worldly concerns in your innermost thoughts? Examining yourself again and again, you should be diligent in giving up these defects. To retain these eight worldly dharmas in your nature and adopt an artificially religious exterior to deceitfully obtain whatever you require is a wrong way of life. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“By obtaining one’s Fatherland half of the Dharma is accomplished.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So, leaving your Fatherland behind, wander through many unknown countries. Parting from your friends and relatives in a pleasant way, ignore those who try to dissuade you from practicing the Dharma. Giving away your possessions, rely on whatever alms come your way. Understanding all desirable things to be the obstacles linked with bad habits, develop a disinterested mind. If, of possessions and so on, you don’t know how to be contented with just a little, once you’ve got one you’ll want two, and it won’t be difficult for the deceiving devil of the desirable objects to enter. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Whatever good or bad things people might say, don’t take them as true; have no hope or doubt, acceptance or rejection. Let them say, whatever they will, as though they were talking about someone dead and buried. No one but a qualified Guru – not even your father or mother – can give correct advice. Therefore keeping control over your own actions, do not hand your nose-rope to others. Outwardly good-natured, you should know how to get along harmoniously with all without “burning their noses”. But in fact, if anyone – superior or inferior – comes to hinder your Sadhana, you should be unshakeable, like an iron boulder pulled by a silk scarf. It won’t do to be a weak character whose head bends in whichever direction the wind blows, like grass on a mountain pass. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For any practice, from the moment you begin it until you reach its ultimate end – whether thunder falls from above, a lake springs from below, or rocks fall from all sides – having sworn not to break your promise even at the cost of your life, you should persevere until the end. From the very beginning, you should come progressively to an established schedule of periods for practice, sleep, meals, and breaks, allowing no bad habits. Whether your practice is elaborate or simple, you should make it even and regular, never sporadic, and not even for an instant should you leave any room for the ordinary. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">During retreat, the entryway should be sealed with mud; if not, you must not speak, not spy, and not come face to face with others. Having completely discarded the wanderings of the restless mind, expel the stale breath and correctly assume the essential elements of body posture. The mind should rest upon clear awareness without wavering even for the time of a finger snap, like a peg driven into solid ground. A strict outer, inner, and secret retreat will quickly give rise to all the signs and qualities<sup>4</sup>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If for some important reason you meet someone and talk to him, thinking, “After this I shall be very strict”, after this transgression the prosperity of your practice will fade and everything will become slacker and slacker. If at the very start you make a resolute, clear-cut decision to remain seated, making your retreat progressively stricter, your practice won’t be swept away by obstacles. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There are many descriptions of particular qualifications and topography of places, but in general a place blessed by Guru Rinpoche and the great Siddhas of the past which is not present in the hands of people of dissenting samaya is suitable; or according to your preference, any utterly solitary place where favorable conditions – food and other necessities – are easily available. If you have the ability to control the swift evolution of outer and inner causal links in cemeteries and other frightening places, abodes of the cruel demons of the locality, your meditation will be greatly improved; if not, you will have even more obstacles. When realization becomes vast as space, all adverse conditions arise as friends; it is then excellent to perform secret practices in graveyards and such places. Always forsaking outer and inner entertainments to dwell in non-action is to dwell in the true solitary place. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">As for the actual purification of your nature: the ordinary aspects are the four changes of mind; the extraordinary ones are the refuge, generation of Bodhicitta, purification of obscurations, and the two accumulations. Having practiced each of these assiduously according to the commentaries until you have truly experienced them, you should then consider the most extraordinary Guru Yoga, as the vital essence of practice, and persevere in it<sup>5</sup>. If you do not, growth of meditation will be tardy; and even if it grows a little it will be very vulnerable to obstacles and genuine understanding will not be able to take birth in your being. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So, if you pray with simple and very fervent devotion, after some time, through the transfer of the Heart-Mind realization of the Guru, an extraordinary understanding, inexpressible in words, will certainly take birth within. As Lama Shang Rinpoche said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“To nurture stillness, experiences, deep concentration – these are common things. But very rare is the realization born from within through the Guru’s blessings, which arise by the power of enthusiastic faith.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Therefore, the birth of understanding in your nature of the meaning of the Great Perfection depends upon these preliminaries. That was what Je-Drigung meant when he said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Other teachings consider the main practice profound, but here it is the preliminary practices that we consider profound.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><h5 style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><center><br />
<br />
SECOND, THE MAIN PRACTICE: HOW HAVING CUT THROUGH THE MISCONCEPTIONS CONCERNING VIEW, MEDITATION, AND ACTION, TO EXPERIENCE THE PRACTICE:</center><o:p></o:p></span></h5><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">FIRST THE VIEW CONCERNING KNOWLEDGE OF THE ABSOLUTE NATURE. </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The nature of our mind is the nature of absolute reality. Divested of all conditional and artificial characteristics fabricated by the intellect, this nature is established with certainty in awareness. Awareness arises naked as the self-originated primordial wisdom. This awareness cannot be expressed in words, nor shown by examples. It is neither corrupted in Samsara, not improved in Nirvana; neither born, nor ceases to be; neither liberated, nor confused; neither existent, nor non-existent; neither delimited, not falling to either side<sup>6</sup>. In brief, from the beginning awareness has neither existed as a substantial entity with elaborated characteristics: its nature is primordially pure, void, vast, and all pervasive. As the radiance of voidness is unobstructed, the ocean of phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana appears spontaneously, like the sun and its rays; neither is awareness a blank nothingness, totally void, for its natural expression is primordial wisdom, the qualities of which are vast and spontaneously accomplished<sup>7</sup>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thus awareness, in which appearances and voidness are inseparably united, is the natural sovereign of the Three Kayas, and the natural way of the primal state. To recognize exactly what it is constitutes the View of the Great Perfection. As the Great Master, Guru Padmasambhava said, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“The Dharmakaya, beyond the intellect, is the very nature.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">What a wonder it is thus to behold in our hands Kuntuzangpo’s Mind! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This is the very heart the six million four hundred thousand Tantras of the Great Perfection, which are themselves the ultimate point of the eighty-four thousand sections of the whole of the Lord Buddha’s teachings. There is not even an inch to go beyond this. The ultimate elucidation of all phenomena should be achieved according to this. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">HAVING THUS CUT FROM WITHIN ALL DOUBTS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE VIEW, TO EXPERIENCE THIS VIEW CONTINUOUSLY IS CALLED MEDITATION. </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Apart from this, all meditations with targets are intellectual meditations devised by thought; we do nothing like that. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Without straying from the firmness of this view, remain free, releasing all the perceptions of the five sense-doors in their natural state. Do not meditate on particulars, thinking, “This is this, this is that”. If you “meditate” that is the intellect. There is nothing to be meditated upon. Do not let yourself be distracted even for an instant. If you wander from dwelling in awareness itself that is the real delusion, so do not be distracted. Whatever thoughts arise let them arise. Do not follow them, do not obstruct them. You may ask, “Then what should be done?” Whatever manifestations of the phenomenal world may arise, remain in a state of natural freshness, without grasping at them like a small child looking inside a temple. If you do so, all phenomena remain in their own place, their aspect is not modified, their color does not change, their luster does not vanish. Although the phenomenal world is present, if you do not contaminate it by wanting and clinging, all appearances and thoughts will arise as the naked primal wisdom of the radiant void. The great number of teachings that are said to be very profound and very vast puzzles people of narrow intellect. So if we were to point a finger at the essential meaning which emerges out of them all one would say: when past thoughts have ceased, and future thoughts have not arisen, in the interval is there not a perception of nowness, a virgin, pristine, clear, awake and bare freshness which has never changed even by a hair? Ho! This is awareness itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now, one does not remain forever in that state; doesn’t a thought suddenly arise? This is a manifestation of awareness itself. But if you do not recognize it as such at the very moment it arises, this thought will spread out into ordinary thoughts. This is called “the chain of delusion”. It is the root of samsara. If you simply recognize the nature of the thoughts immediately as they arise, without extending them, leaving them freely to themselves, then whatever thoughts arise are all spontaneously liberated in the expanse of awareness – Dharmakaya. This itself is the main practice uniting the view and meditation of Thregchöd<sup>8</sup>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">As Garab Dorje said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“When awareness arises abruptly from the natural state of the primordially pure expanse, This instant recollection is like finding a gem in the depths of the ocean: This is the Dharmakaya which has not been contrived or made by anyone”. </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You should experience this with great energy day and night, without distraction. Not allowing emptiness to remain in the domain of theory, bring everything back to awareness itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">NOW, IMPROVING MEDITATION THROUGH PUTTING IT INTO ACTION, HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE PRACTICE. </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">As was said before, the most important thing is fervent devotion, to pray with ardor from the heart, without ceasing even for an instant to consider the Guru as the real Buddha; this is the universal panacea that is superior to all other ways of dispelling obstacles and of making progress; levels and paths will be traversed with great momentum. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Regarding meditation’s defects: if your meditation sinks and becomes dull, revive alert awareness; if it scatters and becomes wild, relax deep inside. Yet, this should not be an intentional and forcible retrieval made by the usual meditating mind keeping watch. Be simply mindful not to forget the recognition of your true nature. Preserving this in all circumstances – eating, sleeping, walking, sitting, in or out of meditation periods – whatever thoughts arise, happy, painful or defiled, remain without trace of hope or doubt, rejection or acceptance, and do not try in any way to destroy them with antidotes. Whatever feelings of happiness or suffering there may be, leave them, as they are in their true nature, naked, fresh, clear, vast and limpid. Thus, since for all there is nothing but a single point, do not confuse yourself with all sorts of cogitation. There is no need to meditate upon voidness as an antidote distinct from the undesirable thoughts and obscurations<sup>9</sup>. If you recognize the nature of these undesirable thought with awareness, at that very moment they will be liberated by themselves, like a snake untying its knot. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Almost everyone knows how to express this ultimate hidden meaning of the radiant adamantine essence in words, but not how to put it into practice; and so it has become just like a parrot’s litanies. We who practice it are so greatly fortunate! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now, there is more to be understood which me must consider carefully. The two deadly enemies, which have bound us to Samsara since beginningless time until now, are the Grasper and the Grasped<sup>10</sup>. Now that by the grace of the Guru we have been introduced to the Dharmakaya nature residing in ourselves, these two are burnt up like feathers, leaving neither trace nor residue. Isn’t that delectable! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Having received the profound instructions upon such a swift path, if you do not put them into practice, they will be just like a wish-fulfilling gem put in the mouth of a corpse – a miserable loss! Don’t let your heart rot; take up the practice. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Beginners will find that the mind, completely invaded by black thoughts, will stray into distraction. Even more tiny thoughts will proliferate unnoticed, until a lucid mindfulness comes back and you will think sadly, “I have wandered”. At that moment, do not do anything like interrupting the course of the thoughts, feeling regret about your wandering and so on; simply remain in this clear mindfulness, and keep on experiencing the natural state. This by itself is enough. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Do not reject the thoughts: see them as Dharmakaya” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So goes a well-known saying. However, until your experience of wider vision has been perfected, merely to think, “This is Dharmakaya” and remain in blank tranquility, involves the risk of being caught in an amorphous equanimity devoid of any characteristic whatsoever. So, to begin with, whatever thoughts arise just stare at them without analyzing or pondering, and rest upon the “recognizer” of the thoughts, without caring about them or giving them any importance, like an old man watching children at play. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Remaining like this you will settle into a kind of stagnation in the natural state devoid of thoughts. When this is, all of a sudden, destroyed, instantly a wisdom transcending the mind will arise, naked, fresh, vivid and lofty. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">On the path, there cannot but be some mixing with experiences of bliss, clarity, and thoughtlessness; but if you remain without even a hair of contentment, conceited attachment, hope or doubt, this will prevent you from going astray. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is very important that, always discarding distraction, you practice with one-pointed vigilant mindfulness. If you stray into sporadic practice and theoretical knowledge, you will become conceited about a vague tranquility and, without having thoroughly clarified your experiences, you will only be verbally clever; this will not be at all profitable. As the Great Perfection says: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Theory is like a patch, it will come away”, </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">and<i>, “Experiences are like mist, they will vanish”. </i>This is how many great meditators are led astray by good or bad minor circumstances and get lost in them. Even when meditation has penetrated your mind, you need to cultivate it continuously, otherwise the deep instructions will be left on the pages of the books, and your mind, your Dharma and your practice will become impervious, so that the birth of genuine meditation will never come. You old meditators, still novices in practice, watch out <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">– there is a danger that you may die with your head encrusted with salt. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After you have practiced continuously over a long period, a time will come when, through fervent devotion or some other circumstance, experiences will metamorphose into realization, and awareness will be seen naked and resplendent. It is like taking a cloth off your head: Such a happy relief? It is the supreme seeing of that which was not seen<sup>11</sup>. From then on thoughts will arise as meditation. The quiescent and the moving<sup>12</sup> will be liberated simultaneously. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">At first, liberation of thoughts through their recognition is like meeting someone you already know. In the middle, self-liberation of thoughts is like the undoing of a snake’s knot. Finally, liberation of thoughts, which cause neither benefit nor harm, is like a thief in an empty house. These three will happen progressively. A strong and total conviction that all phenomena are the display of your own awareness will take birth from within. Waves of voidness – compassion will surge forth. Preferences between Samsara and Nirvana will cease. One will realize that Buddhas and beings are not good or bad. Whatever one does, day and night in a vast and perfect continuity, one will never move from the total satisfaction of the absolute nature. As it is said in the Great Perfection: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Realization is unchanging like the sky.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Although a Yogi like this, “united to the Natural”, has the appearance of an ordinary person, his mind dwells in effortless vision of Dharmakaya, and without action he traverses all the levels and paths. Finally, his intellect exhausted, phenomena exhausted, like space in a breaking vase his body dissolves into minute atoms and his mind dissolves in the Absolute. This is called dwelling in the space of the primordial ground, the “inner radiating youthful vase body”. So it will be. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This is the ultimate end of view, meditation, and action; it is called the actualization of the fruit, which is not to be obtained. The stages of experience and realization may appear either progressively, or without any particular order, or all at once, according to the capacities of different individuals. But at the time of the fruit, there are no differences. <o:p></o:p></span></p><h5 style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><span style="font-size: 15pt;"><br />
<br />
<b>THIRD, THE CONTINUATION OF THE PRACTICE<sup>13</sup>. PRESERVING SAMAYA AND VOWS, HOW TO COMPLETE THE SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS OF THIS LIFE WITH DHARMA:</b><o:p></o:p></span></h5><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you preserve with diligence in the experience of view, meditation, and practice, yet are unskillful in the methods of the path of action which follows, so that your vows and samaya degenerate, then for the present there will be interruptions and obstacles on the levels and paths, and ultimately you will certainly fall into the “hell without intermission”. Therefore, it is very important to be always vigilant and mindful, never confusing what must be rejected with must be adopted. As the Great Master, Guru Padmasambhava said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“ Though my view is higher than the sky</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, My conduct regarding cause and effect is finer that barley flower.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So, giving up the hasty gross mind, you should act very subtly regarding cause and effect. Keeping intact the samayas and precepts, even smallest of them, you should remain unstained by faults and downfalls. All the samayas of the secret mantra vehicle, as many can be enumerated, are gathered into the samaya of the Guru as the ordinary man, accomplishment is months and years away. You may ask why. As it has been said: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“For the Vajra holders accomplishment follows after the Master.”<sup>14 </sup></span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This the vital point. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So, at first, whoever you may be, as long as you are not linked to the Guru you depend on yourself alone. But once you are relying on the Guru and have become linked with him by initiations and instructions, from then on you have no power not to keep the samaya. At the end of the four initiations you bow in front of the Guru, the main figure of the mandala and say, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“From now on I offer myself as a servant. Accept me as your disciple and you use even the minutest part of me.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In giving such consent, however great or powerful you are, have not presented your bowed head to the guru? You also say, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Whatever the supreme figure asks, I will do.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once you have sworn in this way, have you the power to ignore anything he says? Not to accomplish your own promise does not deserve to be called anything other than breaking the samaya, however this may sound. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It has never been said that you have to keep the samaya perfectly with important Gurus who have many attendants, who are every rich, powerful and prosperous, but that there is no need to keep it with modest Gurus, who take a humble position, the beggar – like yogis; whichever the case, you must understand the crucial points of advantages and risks, since to remain as dull as an old horse won’t work. This need to keep the samaya, is it for the Guru’s benefit or your own? Deeply recollect yourself and think this over carefully, as when grinding medicine. If it is for the Guru’s benefit, then you can forget it right away; but if it is not, then there is no point in throwing ashes upon your own head. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In general, the samaya with you Dharma-brothers and sisters comprises holding all those who have entered the door of Lord Buddha’s teachings in high esteem, and of training yourself in seeing everything as pure. You should abandon all criticism and partisan discrimination between philosophical schools. More particularly, all those who have the same Guru and the same mandala are vajra-brothers and sisters. So, renounce contempt, rivalry, jealously, and deceit, and from your heart consider them as intimates. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">All sentient beings without exception have been our own kind parents. Alas! The fierce suffering of Samsara, which has no release, harasses all of them. If I do not protect them, who else will? Unable to bear this thought, train yourself in sustaining compassion. Whatever you might be able to accomplish with the three doors, do only that which is truly beneficial to others, and dedicate all merit to them. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">At all times there are only three things to be considered: the Dharma, the Guru, and sentient beings. So, do not contradict your intentions by your actions. Do not compete with those who bear the trappings or the names of yogins or monks. Bite your lip, control your mind. This is extremely important – do not play the fool. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If, for your own real good, you think only for future lives, it is clear that Dharma is something that has to be done by yourself. You might put your hope in virtuous actions performed by others after your death, but it may well prove difficult to derive any benefit from them. So, turn the mind inwards; lay the foundation by having complete disgust for worldly activities and firm resolution to make your life and your Sadhana one. Erect the main construction by hitting the vital point through the practice of the profound view and meditation. After completion, act without confusing what has to be rejected with what has to be adopted in the application of the samayas, precepts, and vows. As a result, the qualities will have no choice but to flourish from within. That is why the Great Perfection is the path for sinners swiftly to become Buddhas. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The great profundity of this Dharma carries obstacles with it in the same way that great profit goes together with great risk<sup>15</sup>. The reason for this is that all the accumulated bad karma of your past lives will, by the power of the instructions, arise outwardly as the obstacles and apparitions of Mara. At the place where you practice, spirits will show their forms and call you by name. Taking the guise of the Guru, they will make predictions. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Various frightful hallucinations will arise in your inner experience, thoughts, and dreams. In reality, you might be subject to attacks, quarrels, thieves, robbers, diseases, and other unexpected hazards. In the mind, for no reason at all, you will experience intense suffering and sadness, which will make you want to cry. Strong defiled thoughts will develop, while fervent devotion, aspiration to enlightenment and compassion will decline. Thoughts in which you see hostility everywhere will drive you nearly mad. Beneficial words will be misinterpreted. You won’t feel like staying in retreat, and you will be tempted to annul your promise. Inverted views regarding the Guru will develop. You will feel doubt about the Dharma. You will be falsely accused even though innocent; you will acquire a bad reputation; close friends will turn into enemies, and so on. So, various undesirable circumstances may well arise, outside and inside. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ho! These are critical points of eruption. You must recognize them. Here is the frontier between benefit and danger. If you handle these obstacles with the key means, they will turn into accomplishments. If you fall into their power, they will become hindrances. So, with pure samaya and persistent unwavering fervor<sup>16</sup>, give your faith and heart to the Guru, praying ardently with complete confidence in whatever he may do. If you take these difficult circumstances as something desirable and persevere resolutely in the practice, after some time the solidity of these conditions will collapse by itself and your practice will progress. Appearances will become insubstantial like mist. Confidence in the Guru and his instructions will grow as never before. Even when these happenings occur again, you will find a firm assurance, thinking, <i>“That’s all right”.</i> Ho! This is the point of solution. By bringing the circumstances on the path, the critical points have been settled. A la la! This is exactly what we old fathers want. So, don’t be like a jackal approaching a man’s corpse, longing to eat it, but his haunches shaking with fear. Develop a strong mind. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Those whose accumulation of merit is meager, whose samaya and vows are lax, whose inverted views are great, whose doubts are many, who are high in promises and low in practice – such people, whose hearts smell like farts, request the Guru’s teaching to remain on their bookshelves. Clutching unfavorable circumstances tightly by the hand, they follow them; having easily found their weak points, the devil will be able to drag them down the path to inferior realms. Alas! Pray to the Guru that this does not happen. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If bad circumstances, which arise on the path, are relatively easy to deal with, good circumstances present much greater difficulties. There is a danger that supported by the belief that you have attained a high level of realization, you devote yourself to ways of achieving greatness in this life, and become the servant of the distracting Devaputra devil; you must be very careful. You must know that this is the crossroads where you can go up or down, the point where great meditators are put to the test. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Until the expression of the qualities of your inner understanding has reached perfection, it is wrong to recount your experiences to everyone; so keep your mouth shut. Furthermore, don’t boast about your years or months of retreat, but practice earnestly for the duration of your entire human life. Do not belittle the gaining of merit through the cause and effect relationships of relative truth, deceiving yourself with mere words about emptiness. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Village ceremonies for the taming of demons and so on are performed in order to get food, so don’t stay long in populated places. Meaningless action, unnecessary talk, and unprofitable thoughts must all be reduced. Don’t fool others by pretense and deceit, which will contradict the Dharma. Don’t practice wrong livelihood by making indirect requests and uttering flatteries out of longing for desirable things. Don’t associate with sinful people or with those whose views and actions are not in harmony with yours. Disclose your own defects, and don’t speak of the hidden faults of others. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">All kinds of smoking are considered the tricks of the oath-breaking demons, so reject them from the heart. Wine should be taken as an element of samaya, but not drunk without control, to the point of intoxication. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You should take along the Path all connections, both with people who hold you in good esteem and treat you well, and with people who dislike you and treat you badly, good or bad, without caring at all, accepting them with pure and good wishes. At all times inwardly keep your spirits high, without losing courage; and outwardly, on the path of action, remain humble. Wear worn-out clothes. Consider everyone, good, bad, or neutral, above yourself. Live frugally and remain steadily in mountain hermitages. Fix your ambition on the condition of a beggar. Follow the example of the lives and perfect liberation of the siddhas of the past. Not blaming your past karma, practice Dharma flawlessly and perfectly. Not blaming circumstances, whatever they may be, remain steadfast. In brief, taking your own mind as witness, pledge this life to Dharma. At the time of death, free of thought about things left undone, you should not be ashamed of yourself. The vital point of all practices is here. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When the time of death is due, give away whatever possessions you have without being attached to even a needle. At the moment of death, the highest practitioners will be cheerful, middling practitioners will be without apprehension, and ordinary practitioners will feel no regret. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If the radiating light of realization shines continually by both day and night, then there is no bardo, and death is nothing more than the destruction of the body. If not this, then if you have confidence that you will be liberated during the bardo, whatever you do is all right. If not even that, then, having previously trained and become experienced in the practice of transference, put it into action when the time comes, towards whichever heavenly field you desire – the rest of the paths and levels will be traversed there, and you will attain Buddhahood. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In our precious lineage, this is not at all some old story from the past; nowadays also, just in the same way, through the paths of Tregchö and Thogal, realization reaches its ultimate end and the gross body dissolves into rainbow light. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you throw away this precious gem, don’t search for a lesser one. We are extremely fortunate to find these deep instructions, which are like the heart and blood of the Dakinis! So, elevate your mind and meditate with joy. Disciples treasure this book in your heart and great benefits may ensue. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For the benefit of the retreat practice of all the meditators of Ogmin Pema Ö ling (hence the root cause) and at the request of the industrious practitioner Rigsang Dorje, possessor of the jewel of immutable respectful faith (hence the pretext), this was spoken from the heart by Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (Fearless Adamantine Wisdom) in the form of naked oral advice. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">May the Wisdom of Realization be born instantaneously, And mightily in the nature of all fortunate beings. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />

by Dudjom Rinpoche</span> </div><br />
<br />
<div class="post-body entry-content"><div style="line-height: 1.4em;">When this buddha family of the unsurpassed greater vehicle is classified, the Supreme Continuum of the Greater Vehicle (Ch. 1, v.149) says: <blockquote>One should know this enlightened family to be twofold: One similar to treasure and the other to a fruit tree. The [first] is that which naturally abides from the beginning, And the [second] is supreme through having been genuinely acquired.</blockquote>So there is both an enlightened family which naturally abides and an enlightened family which is attained. Concerning the former, the Sutra of Final Nirvana says: <blockquote>Son of the enlightened family, the reality of the mind which is natural, inner radiance, and naturally without essence is not differentiated by the naturally pure mind as it appears, decorated with the enlightened attributes of blazing major and minor marks, but it is differentiated by its nature of appearance and emptiness.</blockquote>Therefore, when this enlightened family is classified, it is threefold owing to its function of being the ground in which the culminating three buddha-bodies of the result arise. It consists of [firstly] the enlightened family in which reality naturally abides, which resembles an image made of precious gems in that it is the spontaneously present causal basis or ground separating (bral-rgyu) the essential buddha-body (svabhavikakaya) or the uncorrupted expanse [from obscuration]; [secondly] the enlightened family in which the apparition of this reality naturally abides, which resembles a universal emperor in that it is the causal basis separating the buddha-body of perfect rapture (sambhogakaya) from obscuration; and [thirdly] its apparitional reflection, which resembles a golden image in that it is the causal basis separating the emanational body (nirmanakaya) from obscuration. In actuality, however, the reality in which these three are of an inseparable essence is the great, naturally present, uncompounded buddha-body of reality (dharmakaya), the pristine cognition of supreme sameness (samata-jnana), coalescing appearance and emptiness without conceptual elaboration. Since it is the great, indivisible reality in which the ground differentiating appearance and emptiness has ceased, it is exemplified by the nature of the Tathagata. As the Supreme Continuum of the Greater Vehicle (Ch.l, v.146) says: <blockquote>Since it is supramundane, in the world There are no examples to which it may be referred. Therefore the nature of the Tathagata Is revealed to be similar to the seed.</blockquote>When this enlightened family is actualised without obscuration, the conclusive truth of cessation according to the greater vehicle is the essential buddha-body endowed with two purities. The [second] enlightened family, the one in which [reality] is attained, includes those who awaken to the [aforementioned] twofold family, in which the expanse, or reality, and pristine cognition, or [reality's] apparition, naturally abide, and those who consequently study to integrate the two provisions of skilful means and discriminative awareness. These two provisions in turn are subsumed by the provisional path of learning (saiksamarga) which includes the generation of enlightened mind, in order that the suddenly arisen stains covering [the nucleus] might be removed. The Sutra of the Arrayed Bouquet says: <blockquote>Sons of the Conqueror, this which is called the enlightened family is devoted to the expanse of reality (dharmadhatu). It is one in which, having seen the natural, inner radiance vast as the sky, studies are pursued in furtherance of the great provisions of merit and pristine cognition.</blockquote>So the former enlightened family is the ground of separation from obscuration and the latter is the path which removes the stains covering [the nucleus]. It is said that though the truth of the path depends on the ground-of-all and is subsumed in the causal basis of separation from obscurations, it does bring about the basis of unchanging authentic liberation. This is because its function of attainment which effects the result of separation [from obscurations] depends on the enlightened family or the nucleus. For anyone to know that this enlightened family, which naturally abides, does exist, it is inferred to exist through the signs [visible in those who] awaken to it, just as one, in general, infers fire from smoke. The signs that one has awakened to the natural enlightened family of the buddha-body of reality are indicated in the Introduction to the Madhyamaka (Ch.6, vv.4-5c): <blockquote>One who, having heard about emptiness even as an ordinary person, Experiences within, sheer delight again and again, And who, owing to this delight, is brought to tears, And whose body-hair stands erect, Has the seed of intelligence which attains to perfect buddhahood. That one is a vessel for this very instruction, To whom the ultimate truth should be revealed.</blockquote>The signs that one has awakened to the enlightened family of the buddha-body of form, which is the apparition of reality, are indicated in the Ornament of the Sutras of the Greater Vehicle (Ch.3, v.5): <blockquote>Even prior to practice, Correct conduct with respect to compassion, Volition, patience and virtue, Is truly explained to be a sign of that family.</blockquote>Then, the benefits which result when one awakens to that enlightened family are mentioned, too, in the same text (Ch.3, v.8): <blockquote>Though a long time has been passed in evil existences, Liberation will swiftly be attained; There, too, less suffering will be experienced, And being disillusioned, one will mature sentient beings.</blockquote>As long as one has once awakened to this enlightened family, one will not be born in evil existences, and even if one is so born, one will be liberated in merely the time it takes to bounce a ball of yarn. There, too, suffering will diminish, and through strong disillusionment [with samsara], one will indeed bring sentient beings to maturity. In this way it is said that when the Teacher himself [Sakyamuni] became the strongest of charioteers in the hells, he was instantly liberated by awakening to that enlightened family which embodies great compassion, and was born as a god in Trayatrimsa. He subsequently became the boy Bhaskara, the son of a potter, in Jambudvipa and aspired to enlightenment in the presence of the Tathagata Sakyamuni. Similar things are said about the series of his [ordinary] lives in which he took birth as the daughter of a friend and so on. If living beings were without this enlightened family, those who experience suffering would not even feel regret. It would be reasonable for some not to think that samsara should be rejected and nirvana acquired, and even the desire for liberation would not arise in their minds. However, untaught by anyone, some persons feel compassion when others experience suffering, and are disturbed by the experience of suffering. One should know such phenomena to be the virtuous power of the seed of beginningless reality. It says in the Supreme Continuum of the Greater Vehicle (Ch.l, vv.40-1): <blockquote>Without the seed of buddhahood, One would not feel regret for suffering; One would have neither the desire, Nor the prayer, nor the aspiration for nirvana. This perception of suffering as a negative And happiness as a positive attribute, In relation to existence and nirvana, Is present owing to the existence of the enlightened family; For it is not found in those lacking that family.</blockquote>Passages which speak of beings belonging to no family or to a cut-off family are rhetorical devices which indicate through negation the baseness in those who have not awakened to the enlightened family. Indeed, there are no living beings who do not belong to the enlightened family which naturally abides. The Sutra of the Nucleus of the Tathagata (Tathagatagarbhasutra, T 258) says: <blockquote>Son of the enlightened family, this is the reality of all things. Whether the tathagatas have appeared or not, these sentient beings always possess the nucleus of the tathagata.</blockquote>And in the Sutra of Queen Srimala (Srimaladevisimhanadasutra, T 92): <blockquote>The nucleus of the sugata Completely pervades living beings.</blockquote>Therefore, the mind is developed in the enlightened attitude of the greater vehicle consequent on awakening into the [first] enlightened family, which has two aspects and is the causal basis. Subsequently, the stains which obscure the buddha-body of reality are removed by experiencing, above all, the non-conceptualising pristine cognition during meditative equipoise; and the stains obscuring the two buddha-bodies of form are skilfully removed by conduct that is relevant to the two provisions with the assistance of illusion-like compassion during the aftermath [of that meditation]. Then, there is obtained the culminating result of this separation from obscuration (bral-'bras), the essential buddha-body. It is defined as an expanse encompassed by inconceivable, uncorrupted, enlightened attributes, or the ground in which the buddha-body of form that appears to others is reflected like the moon in the sky. It naturally manifests as pristine cognition itself, without being extraneously sought, and is endowed with the three bodies of the buddhas manifest in and of themselves. The Supreme Continuum of the Greater Vehicle (Ch.2, v.3) says: <blockquote>That which is called natural inner radiance is as the sky. It is unobscured by the dense clouds Of suddenly arisen conflicting emotions And ignorance of the knowable. This buddhahood endowed with all enlightened attributes of the taintless Buddha, Constant, steadfast and eternal, is attained Dependent on the pristine cognition which discerns things non-conceptually.</blockquote>And [Ch.2, vv.38-9]: <blockquote>Without beginning, middle, or end and indivisible, Neither two, nor three, taintless and non-conceptualising, That realisation, which is the natural expanse of reality, Is perceived by the yogin during meditative equipoise. Endowed with enlightened attributes that are immeasurable, That outnumber the sands of the Ganges, limitless and without peer, This taintless expanse of the Tathagata Has renounced the entire range of faults, along with their propensities.</blockquote>Arising from that [essential body], the two buddha-bodies of form have the same uncorrupted pristine cognition. They become naturally present through a co-emergent cause, consisting of the basis of the pure vessel of the beings requiring training, as well as the conditions of their former aspirations and their experience of the two provisions. The maturing result (smin-'bras) of these bodies of form is then established through their function of teaching in forms manifest to others who require training, in the manner, for example, of the moon reflected in water. As the above [Supreme Continuum of the Greater Vehicle, Ch.2, vv.40-1] says: <blockquote>With a buddha-body which manifests the diverse rays of the true doctrine, Persevering so that the liberation of living beings be achieved, Their deeds, like the king of wish-fulfilling gems, Are without inherent existence despite their diverse forms. All their forms which cause [beings] To enter into, ripen and prophetically declare the path by which the world is pacified Also constantly abide therein, Just as form occupies space.</blockquote>And as Nagarjuna [in the Eulogy to the Expanse of Reality, v. 101] says: <blockquote>Since within the taintless body of reality An ocean of pristine cognition abides, The benefit of sentient beings emerges therefrom In the manner of diverse gemstones.</blockquote>In short, as [Longcenpa has said] in the Great Chariot (shing-rta chen-mo): <blockquote>In this context, one should know that, among the three buddha-bodies, the body of reality, which is an expanse invisible to those requiring training outside the range of the Buddha alone, is present as subtle pristine cognition, the inner expanse that is unique and of a single savour. The two buddha-bodies of form endowed with pure enlightened activity, which are the pristine cognition that manifests to others, outwardly radiate through its blessing and the aspiration of those requiring training. They appear in the manner of the moon in the sky [body of perfect rapture] and the moon in water [body of emanation].</blockquote>And in the Treasury of Philosophical Systems: <blockquote>Since the three buddha-bodies are primordially present as the twofold enlightened family, the apparitional aspect of the buddha level or [the enlightened family] of inner growth is the body of perfect rapture and its empty aspect or [the enlightened family] which naturally abides is the body of reality. From the indivisible blessing of these two, the emanational body gives teaching in form manifest to others who require training, and is exemplified as the reflection of a universal emperor (cakravartin) shining on a golden mountain.</blockquote>One who, without knowing this, is attracted to the concept that a single uncompounded emptiness of explicit negation is the enlightened family which naturally abides, and that the enlightened family of inner growth is exclusively compounded and newly produced by the path, is found to interrupt the realisation which belongs to the paths of learning as a conclusive result and so to adhere to the cessation of the pious attendants' tradition, which resembles an expired butter lamp in that it establishes no order of buddha-body, pristine cognition and so forth. If one were to take this view, one would not even savour the fragrance of the truth of cessation according to the greater vehicle. In the ground, one would fall into the extreme of conceptual elaboration. On the path, one would not require the two provisions of the greater vehicle. In the result, one would not distinguish between the nirvana of the three vehicles; and as a conclusive result, one could not cross beyond the abyss of nihilism. The refuge of ultimate reality would never be found. It was with an intention directed toward this mode [of the nucleus] that the all-knowing doctrinal master [Longcenpa] said in the Precious Wish-fulfilling Treasury (yid-bzhin rin-po-che'i mdzod): <blockquote>One who without knowing this mode [of the nucleus] determines emptiness verbally As free from extremes of being and non-being Harbours the view of the summit of existence, Ignorant of the causal basis of separation from obscuration. Since he is outside this teaching, He may as well cover himself with ashes, Like those who hold the mind to emerge from space.</blockquote>Such a wrong view is gathered within [the nihilism of] the Followers of Brhaspati [Barhaspatya]. The Doha also says: <blockquote>The Archer says: "Those who hold the mind to emerge from space Never attain to liberation."</blockquote>If one were to think that on the paths of learning one develops anew, by the two causal provisions, what was previously non-existent, then the body of reality, or essential body of the buddha, and the body of perfect rapture would be compounded and impermanent. If one were to hold this view, it is said one would harbour the immeasurable defects of looking upon the continuum [of enlightened mind] as an ephemeral compound; the suffering of change as something unrenounceable; the possession of the body of indestructible reality, which is pristine cognition vast as the sky, as non-existent; and the body of indestructible reality itself as impermanent. Because of such limitless faults, one would deviate from the meaning of the greater vehicle. So, rather than merely differentiate the twofold enlightened family as being the apparitional and emptiness aspects of a single expanse, it is the flawless intention of the all-knowing doctrinal master [Longcenpa] to establish it to be this supreme essence or natural expression which is indivisible, uncorrupted and uncompounded. In the Great Chariot he says: <blockquote>There are nine similes which reveal as spontaneously present the enlightened attributes of the Buddha's body of form, deriving from the naturally radiant apparitional aspect of the taintless mind-as-such, the naturally pure essence, the mind in which the genuine pristine cognition of the Buddha originally abides. And the comparison of its emptiness aspect, the enlightened attributes of the body of reality, with the sky is explained in all the sutras and tantras. However, these two are inseparable in the virtuous seed of beginningless reality. This [seed] firstly is called the enlightened family which naturally abides because it is unchanging, and secondly is called the enlightened family of inner growth because enlightened attributes are extensively manifest after the stains have been purified. Yet its root is inner radiance, the pristine cognition which is intrinsic awareness.</blockquote>Similarly, in the Extensive Sutra of the Commitments (dam-tshig mdo-rgyas), a teaching of the all-seeing Rongzompa, the naturally present pristine cognition in which the ground, path and result are inseparable, is said to be the mind or family of enlightenment: <blockquote>That which is imperishable like a vajra is the mind of Samantabhadra, unchanging like a vajra, because it naturally contains no distinction between [firstly] the enlightened mind of beginningless time [i.e. the ground], [secondly] the provisional mind which is the causal situation [of the path extending] from the development of enlightened mind to the attainment of the vajra-like contemplation, and [thirdly] the mind of the body of reality along with its actions which is the essence of the result, similar to the Wish-granting Tree and the precious Wish-fulfilling Gem.</blockquote>These quotations serve to illustrate that all the panditas and accomplished masters of the Ancient Translation School, including the king of the doctrine Terdak Lingpa and his brother, have affirmed the same system exclusively. This can be known in detail from the Lecture Notes on the Nucleus of the Sugata (bde-gshegs snying-po'i stong-thun), the Lion's Roar in Affirmation of Extrinsic Emptiness (gzhan-stong khas-len seng-ge'i nga-ro) and the Proof of Mind in its Natural State (gnyug-sems sgrub-pa) along with its branches, which are all teachings of the all-knowing Mipham Jampel Gyepa. The lord of living beings Atisa, too, has determined in conformity with them that the uncompounded expanse of reality, the coalescence of appearance and emptiness, which is empty of imaginary deeds and defilements, and inseparable from the uncorrupted enlightened attributes is the enlightened family [or the nucleus of the tathagata]. In his Song with a View to the Expanse of Reality (Dharmadhatudarsanagiti, T 2314) he says: <blockquote>Just as the son of a pregnant woman is within her womb But is not perceived, So, covered by conflicting emotions, The expanse of reality is also unperceived. Since the expanse of reality is not a self, It [resembles] neither woman nor man; One should examine just how one clings subjectively To that which is liberated from all objects. When the mind is purified by all three actions, Namely, [the meditations on] impurity, impermanence, and suffering, The sutras which point out emptiness Are accordingly spoken by the Conqueror. Conflicting emotions are reversed by all these topics, But this seed [of reality] is not diminished.</blockquote>And also: <blockquote>The natural expression of reality's expanse, Like space is without cause or condition: Without birth, old age, duration and destruction, Without being compounded, The inseparable attributes of the Buddha And, similarly, the attainment of this enlightened family Are not false, deceptive or harmful. They are the original, natural quiescence.</blockquote>Then, among the esoteric instructions of the dakinl entitled Valid Cognition of the Transmitted Precepts (Ajnasamyakpramana, T 2331) which were introduced from Akanistha by Tilopa, it is said: <blockquote>Just as a butter lamp within a vase Does not appear outside, But if the vase is broken, The lamplight is visible thereafter, So is one's own body like the vase And inner radiance like the butter lamp: When well broken by the guru's instruction, The pristine cognition of the buddhas becomes radiant.</blockquote>And in the Ganges Great Seal (phyag-chen ganga-ma, T 2303) which Tilopa imparted to Naropa:<blockquote>Just as, for example, the nature of space transcends colour and form, And is uncovered and unchanged by positive and negative values, So does the nucleus of one's own mind transcend colour and form, And is uncovered by positive and negative doctrines of virtue and sin. As the nucleus of the sun, for example, radiant and clear, Is not obscured by the darkness of a thousand aeons, So the inner radiance of the nucleus which is one's own mind Cannot be obscured by the samsara of aeons.</blockquote>Then, in the Teaching Cycle of Lord Maitripa (mnga'-bdag mai-tri-pa'i gdams-skor) there is the Ten Verses on the Real (Tattvadasaka, T 2236) composed by master Advayavajra, which says: <blockquote>Since you desire to know, the nature of just what is Is neither represented nor representationless; Unadorned by the guru's speech, Even the Madhyamaka is mediocre.</blockquote>The great brahman [Saraha] in his Song of Instruction Given to Lord Marpa (mnga'-bdag mar-pa-la gdams-pa'i mgur, DZ Vol. 5) has also said: <blockquote>Emptiness and compassion are indivisible. The uninterrupted mind in its natural state Is the original purity of just what is: Space is seen in union with space.</blockquote>The venerable Milarepa has also revealed this in general in Illuminating the Substance of the Aural Lineage (snyan-brgyud dngos-po gsal-byed, DZ Vol.5, pp.443-55) which he gave to Nyiwa Rincen [Gampopa]:198 In every corporeal being <blockquote>This truth of the nucleus originally abides. Through it sentient beings have the basis of buddhahood. When one arrives at the result from the cause, It is reached primordially, not just presently.</blockquote>Then, particularly in his Song of Indestructible Reality in Answer to Questions Posed in a Trilogy by the Goddess of Longevity, which is the Root of the Aural Lineage of Ngamdzong (ngams-rdzong snyan-brgyud rtsa-ba tshe-ring skor-gsum-gyi zhus-lan rdo-rje'i mgur, mgur-'bum, Ch.29), he differentiates between the two truths, which provisionally have synonyms, beginning as follows: <blockquote>With reference to the ultimate truth, Due to negation there is not even buddhahood...</blockquote>And: <blockquote>With reference to the relative truth, The Sage has said everything exists, Both samsara and nirvana.</blockquote>He then conclusively evokes the expressive power of ultimate reality for which there are no synonyms as follows: <blockquote>Since appearances in the form of existing substances And reality which is non-existing emptiness Are essentially inseparable and of a single savour, There is not just intrinsic awareness or extrinsic awareness, But a vast coalescence of everything.</blockquote>And finally, he literally reveals the way in which the taintless, sublime, pristine cognition is directly perceived in the following verses: <blockquote>So, one skilled in realisation Perceives not consciousness but pristine cognition, Perceives not the apparition of reality, but reality itself, And thence the force of compassion emerges. The enlightened attributes of the buddhas, Including power, fearlessness and retention, Emerge in the manner of a precious gemstone. They are the measure of my realisation as a yogin.</blockquote>Zhang Rinpoche in his Culmination of the Supreme Path (lam-mchog mthar-thug, DZ Vol.5, pp.744-77) has said: <blockquote>The buddha-body of reality, or the nucleus Which is the culmination of definitive meaning, Is the essentially pure expanse of inner radiance. Whether the conquerors of the three times appear or not, Whether it is realised by the sublime assembly or not, Whether it is spoken of by the sages or not, Whether it is delivered by learned commentators or not, This reality which is pure unelaborate inner radiance, Abides from the beginning, spontaneously present, Without increase or decrease. Though the skies have been ravaged over many immeasurable aeons By the conflagrations, whirlwinds and the like Which create and destroy the world, The sky is unharmed, without increase or decrease. Similarly, the radiant sunlight obscured by clouds Ostensibly varies in the intensity of its radiance When the thick darkness and cloud mass dissolve, And yet the nucleus of the sun neither increases nor decreases. This unchanging buddha-body of reality, which so abides, Is nothing other than one's own mind. The diversity of samsara without exception arises from the mind. When one's own mind is not realised, The suffering of the world of samsara and its contents increases Through the confusion [caused] by erroneous, bewildered appearances. When one's own mind is genuinely realised, The limitless pristine cognition of nirvana arises as supreme bliss. Thus, everything without exception issues from one's own mind-as-such. If one knows reality in relation to oneself, One will know reality in relation to all sentient beings. One who knows that knows all things including nirvana. One who knows all things completely transcends the three realms. If that one thing is known, one becomes learned in all things.</blockquote>The Lord of Conquerors, the venerable Karmapa [III], Rangjung Dorje, has additionally given an extensive explanation of the classification of the enlightened family in accordance with the transmissions of the Supreme Continuum of the Greater Vehicle and the Collection of the Greater Vehicle in his autocommentary on the Profound Inner Meaning (zab-mo nang-don). Therein he says that the enlightened family of inner growth is not to be regarded as newly arising, as is the opinion of some. In such ways he clearly reveals [the family] to comprise both the expanse [of reality] and pristine cognition. That is, the expanse of reality is the enlightened family which naturally abides, and the pristine cognition, pure in respect of the eight aggregates [of consciousness], is the enlightened family of inner growth. Indeed, he proves both of these to be naturally pure in accord with the transmission of the Analysis of the Middle and Extremes (Ch.l, v.17) which he quotes as follows: <blockquote>Just as water, gold and the sky are pure, So are [these families] held to be pure.</blockquote>The same point is also clearly revealed in his Two Short Treatises (gzhung-chung gnyis). The venerable Karmapa VII [Chodrak Gyamtso] asserts, too, that the expanse or emptiness in which the sixty-four enlightened attributes are inseparable is the emptiness endowed with all supreme aspects. These and the statements made by the All-Knowing Situ [VIII, Dharmakara] and others are renowned among the Kagyupa traditions. Again, in the Commentary on the Eulogy [entitled Taintless Gem Rosary, i.e. bstod-'grel, SK Vol.5] which is his culminating personal statement, Sakya Pandita first establishes the way in which the character of the mind is obscured by suddenly arisen stains despite the mind's naturally pure reality. He then establishes the ways in which the stains can be purified since they are suddenly arisen and buddhahood attained by their removal. At this point, he sets forth the intention of the Collection of Madhyamaka Reasoning (Yuktikaya, T 3824-8) that, with reference to reality, there is no transformation at this moment [of buddhahood], and the intention of the Collection of Eulogies (Stavakaya, T 1118-36) which is that, with reference to the apparitional mode of enlightened attributes, there is transformation [of consciousness into pristine cognition]. Then, after setting forth the viewpoints, one of which holds that these two [intentions] are essentially not contradictory and the other of which holds that there is no pristine cognition in buddhahood, he offers his personal statement, refuting the assertions that there is neither the pristine cognition nor the body of buddhahood, and says that these two [intentions] are inseparable. Furthermore, in his Answers to the Questions ofNyemo Gomchen (snyi-mo sgom-chen-gyi dris-lan, SK Vol. 5) it is said by way of illustration: <blockquote>When the mind is realised to be empty, it cannot be estimated according to [the standards set in] the three pitaka and the four tantrapitaka, for that is equivalent to the cessation of the pious attendants; but when it is realised to be coalescence, such an estimation can be made. In the exclusively empty aspect of mind, the Three Precious Jewels are incomplete. In the coalescence of awareness and emptiness, the seed [of buddhahood] is complete, and if the meaning of that coalescence is well realised, [buddhahood] is actualised completely.</blockquote>He then states that: <blockquote>After freedom from conceptual elaboration has been established, the coalescence is experientially cultivated.</blockquote>And also that: <blockquote>The view assumed during the causal phase is poisonous, The view assumed during the resultant phase is poisonless...</blockquote>Regarding this passage, he claims that the former refers merely to freedom from conceptual elaboration, or the emptiness which is analytically appraised by study and thought.The latter, having no use for that, is identical in essence to the pristine cognition of the buddha level, which arises from the empowerment and the two stages [of creation and perfection] and results in the coalescence of bliss and emptiness, and of awareness and emptiness. Such statements are renowned among the glorious Sakyapa. Again, in the Three Emphases of the Path (lam-gyi gtso-bo mam-gsum, P 6087) of the great being Tsongkapa, the expressive power of ultimate reality without synonyms, in which appearances and emptiness are coalesced, is brought into relief as follows: <blockquote>Whoever perceives the cause and result Of all things of samsara and nirvana, To be always infallible, And destroys all their referential bases, At that time enters the path pleasing to the buddhas. As long as one continues to differentiate Between the two understandings of Appearances which are infallibly interdependent And emptiness which is free from assertions, One will not yet realise the Sage's intention. But when [these understandings] are simultaneous, without alternation, And if, having merely seen interdependence to be infallible, True conviction has destroyed all postures of objective clinging, At that time, the scrutiny of the view is perfected.</blockquote>Similar passages are found in the all-knowing Tolpo Sangye's Ocean of Definitive Meaning on Retreat Practice (ri-chos nges-don rgya-mtsho), and in other works. Despite the mere subtle distinctions provisionally asserted in these [various] philosophical systems, such as concern the degree to which appearances and emptiness are respectively emphasised, and the different delineations of the two truths, in actuality the secret activities which are the intention of great sublime beings who perceive the truth of reality are of a common savour. They are inseparable like water and salt; for, within the space of the supreme pristine cognition, the conclusive ultimate reality which is without synonyms and free from the intellect, the two truths have a common savour. Therefore, [their systems] are not objects to be appraised by the childish intellects of inhibited perception. The lord Atisa has said: <blockquote>Since, in the manner of an ocean, Its depths and other shores are not found By words, examples and the intellect, It is the great, profound reality.</blockquote>And also: <blockquote>Do not be critical of the doctrine; One should aspire to what one reveres.</blockquote>Remembering this, as well as the points expressed in the Short Tantra of Cakrasamvara (Tantrarajasrilaghusamvara, T 368), the Texts of Maitrey a, the Jewel Garland, and other sources, it is clearly of extreme importance that one personally preserve this [understanding].</div></div></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">The Provisional and Definitive Meaning of the Transmitted Precepts </span>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><br>by Dudjom Rinpoche<br><br>
</span></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content"> <div style="line-height: 1.4em;">When these teachings are allocated between the provisional meaning (drang-don) and the definitive meaning (nges-don), the three successive promulgations of the doctrinal wheel have the same common purpose, that is, to purify the stains covering the single nucleus of the tathagata (tathagatagarbha). They differ only in the greatness of their means which respectively purify the gross, subtle and very subtle stains that suddenly arise to obscure it. Thus, by teachings such as impermanence, the first promulgation arouses the mind from samsara and causes it to approach nirvana. In the second, the three approaches to liberation become an antidote to attachment to superficial characteristics, which include the mundane view of self; and the third intends that the extensive way of the sugatas be comprehended through the topics of that irreversible promulgation. This is extensively mentioned in passages such as the following from the Sutra of the Dialogue with King Dharanisvara (Dharanisvarapariprcchsasutra, T 147):
<blockquote>Son of the enlightened family, it is in the same way as, for example, a skilled jeweller, who knows well how gems are refined, takes an impure stone from a species of precious gemstones and, after wetting it in dirty salt water, has it cleaned with goats' hair, and similarly after then wetting it in a beverage has it cleaned with a woollen cloth, and afterwards, in the very same way, wets it in a herbal solution and has it cleaned with fine clean linen; when it is well refined, the stainless gem is said to be a great gemstone of the species beryl . Likewise, when a sentient being has first been induced to enter the Vinaya by the disturbing topics such as suffering and impermanence, and has then been made to realise the way of the tathagatas by means of the three approaches to liberation, he subsequently is made to enter the objective range of the tathagatas by the topics of the irreversible promulgation. To enter in this way and realise reality is to become an unsurpassed object of offering.</blockquote>Thus, the three successive [promulgations] of transmitted precepts are classified into those of provisional meaning and those of definitive meaning. It says in the Sutra which Decisively Reveals the Intention (Sandhinirmocanasutra, T 106):
<blockquote>The first promulgation of the doctrinal wheel by the Transcendent Lord, through which the four sublime truths were taught to those who enter the vehicle of the pious attendants, is surpassed, circumstantial, of provisional meaning and continues to be a basis for debate. Then, beginning with the Transcendent Lord's teaching that things have no essence, the second promulgation of the doctrinal wheel which teaches emptiness to those who correctly enter the greater vehicle is surpassed, circumstantial, of provisional meaning and continues to be a basis for debate. And then, beginning with the Transcendent Lord's teaching that things have no essence, the third promulgation of the wheel of the exceedingly wondrous and amazing doctrine, which is well distinguished, was revealed to those correctly entering the entire vehicle. That promulgation of the doctrinal wheel is unsurpassed, not circumstantial, of definitive meaning and does not become a basis for debate.</blockquote>The allocation of provisional and definitive meaning is determined in ways such as these.
The intermediate promulgation has accordingly been allocated provisional meaning because in this turning of the doctrinal wheel the enlightened attributes of ultimate reality, such as the powers of the sugatas, are mostly revealed to be empty of their own essence (rang-stong), though they are not actually empty of their own essence, and because it does not teach that these attributes are well distinguished and without inherent contradiction. For such reasons it is said to be surpassed and so on. Definitive meaning, on the other hand, is allocated to the third promulgation because [therein] things of relative appearance are empty of their own essence and the ultimate reality is empty of extraneous entities, so that the nature of these [attributes] is qualitatively well distinguished and then revealed.
If there are those who say that definitive meaning is contained in the intermediate promulgation because it teaches the transcendental perfection of discriminative awareness (prajnaparamita), but that the final promulgation has an intention of provisional meaning because it teaches the contrary, then they have not made an accurate examination. The attributes, such as uncreated and unceasing original quiescence, which are terms relating to the transcendental perfection of discriminative awareness, are most extensively revealed in the final promulgation and very profoundly revealed in the vehicle of indestructible reality.
However, there is no distinction in the essence of the transcendental perfection of discriminative awareness, which is said to be distinguished as surpassed or unsurpassed depending on whether it is unclearly, clearly or very clearly revealed; for all the limitless [attributes] which are revealed by names such as the nucleus of the sugata (sugatagarbha), the expanse of reality (dharmadhatu), the mind of inner radiance, the naturally pure enlightened family, the genuine goal and the emptiness which is the essential nature devoid of substantiality, are identical in the naturally present, non-dual pristine cognition (jnana). This same [pristine cognition] is the transcendental perfection of discriminative awareness (prajnaparamita). Therefore the master Dignaga [in his Epitome of the Transcendental Perfection of Discriminative Awareness, v.l] has said:
<blockquote>Being the transcendental perfection of
Discriminative awareness,
This non-dual pristine cognition is the Tathagata.
Since it possesses the meaning
Which is to be accomplished,
This term applies to the central texts and path.</blockquote>The final transmitted precepts are conclusively proven to be the definitive meaning by all [scriptural] transmissions and [logical] reasoning. The Conqueror himself made the classification of provisional and definitive meaning, and moreover, in his own words said:
<blockquote>A monk who is called Asanga
Learned in the meaning of these treatises,
Will differentiate in many categories
The sutras of provisional and definitive meaning.</blockquote>The final [transmitted precepts] were accordingly allocated conclusive definitive meaning by this sublime [Asanga], whom the Conqueror had prophetically declared would differentiate the provisonal and definitive meanings.
There are, on the other hand, no authoritative passages declaring the intermediate [transmitted precepts] to have definitive meaning and the final [transmitted precepts] provisional meaning. Indeed, even if the proponents of the Vijnanavada could have composed these final transmitted precepts as such, they would have mistaken the correct sequence revealed by the above simile of the refinement of gemstones and by other similes which refer to the medical treatment of ill-health and the study of letters. There would be no need even for the definitive order made by the Conqueror himself and the sublime [Asanga], and there would be limitless other such faults. In addition, after first teaching the provisional meaning and intermediately the definitive meaning to those who require training, the provisional meaning would then be repeated, so that one would be obliged to consider just what is the Buddha's intention vis-a-vis the teaching. It should be known that by proceeding in this way, there would be all kinds of unbearable evils, such as allocating the conclusive definitive meaning to philosophical systems which propound substantial existence, slandering the buddhas and great bodhisattvas as holders of a relative teaching, and abandoning this doctrine of the nucleus (garbha).
Furthermore, since the three vehicles have reference to the definitive meaning gathered in the final promulgation, the definitive meaning is conclusively proven. This is extensively mentioned in passages such as the following from the Sutra of the Irreversible Wheel (Avaivartacakra-sutra, T 240):
<blockquote>Then, in reverence to the Transcendent Lord, the great bodhisattva Madhuranirghosa arose from his lotus posture and asked, 'Transcendent Lord, what is the dimension of this world system of Patient Endurance?"
He replied, "Son of the enlightened family, in the western direction of this world system there is a world system which outnumbers the sands of the River Ganges."
Then he asked, 'Transcendent Lord, in that world system which Transcendent Lord teaches the doctrine?"
"He is called the Tathagata Sakyamuni."
"What manner of doctrine does he teach?"
"He begins from the three vehicles."
"What are the three vehicles?"
"He reveals the doctrine beginning with the three vehicles, which are the vehicle of the pious attendants, the vehicle of the self-centred buddhas and the greater vehicle."
"Do these conform to the doctrine revealed by the Transcendent Lord Buddha?"
"Son of the enlightened family, the doctrines revealed by the [different] Transcendent Lord Buddhas do conform."
"Just in what respect do the doctrines revealed by the Transcendent Lord Buddhas conform?"
And he replied, "The doctrines revealed by the Transcendent Lord Buddhas conform to the irreversible promulgation."
