These words can be whispered into the ears of those either living or dying... "Now, the basic luminosity is shining before you, the essence of things as they are. The open neutral ground of the Dharmakaya; recognize it, and rest in practice. Now the pure luminosity of the dharmata, the ecstatic intensity of the clear light is shining before you; recognize it. At this moment, RIGHT NOW, your state of mind is by nature the pure, naked, emptiness of awareness, it does not possess any quality whatsoever, neither substance, nor color. It is the pure, vibrant, unobstructed, sparkling emptiness of fullness and fullness of emptiness. This mind of yours is inseparable luminosity and emptiness in the form of a great mass of clear light, has no birth or death and is the Buddha of Immortal Light. To recognize this is all that is necessary. When you recognize this pure nature of your own mind as the Buddha, looking into your own mind is resting in the Buddha-mind. Just as the light of the sun overcomes darkness, so liberation is attained and the power of karma is overcome through recognition of the luminous clear light of the path. The essential point is to recognize with certainty that whatever appears is your own projection. "Now when the bardo of the Clear Light dawns upon me, I will abandon thoughts of fear and terror. I will recognize whatever appears as my projection and know it to be a vision of the bardo. Now that I have reached this crucial point,I will not fear the wrathful and peaceful ones, my own projections." Do it at home, it will not kill you. Forget the body, you do not have one. "Light is my very nature; I am no other than light. When the universe manifests itself, verily it is I that shine".

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 The light at the end of the tunnel is the mind's return to its conception .. the energy released when the sperm penetrates the ovum is stored as a memory in every cell of the body .. Funny how the mind sees something mystical in that .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Thanks for this, Joyce! Is it from the _Bardo Thodol_ or from something on the Yoga of the Clear Light?
