Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 I will call this volume "Breeze," I don't know why. Except that I'd like to have a breath of fresh spiritual air and company. I would like to be a breath of fresh air as well as light to others. I've become what I already was a "Buddhist." It is no less about God and liberation than Sant Mat is. There is only one path and that path begins within. Here's what the Buddhist's have to say about the sound current: They call it the 'luminous bardo of dharmata' page 103 "The Tibetan Book of Death and Dying" "The luminous bardo of dharmata encompasses the after-death experience of the radiance of the nature of mind, the luminosity or 'Clear Light' which manifests as sound, color and light...What distinguishes and defines each of the bardos is that there are gaps or periods in which the possibility of awakening is particularly present. It is in moments of strong change and transition especially, the teachings make us aware that the true sky-like primordial nature of our mind will have a chance to manifest. So one moment you have lost something precious, and then, in the very next moment you find your mind is resting in a deep state of peace. When this kind of experience occurs, do not immediately rush to find solutions. Remain for a while in that state of peace. Allow it to be a gap. And if you really rest in that gap, looking into the mind, you will catch a glimpse of the deathless nature of the enlightened mind." page 105 "In between the bardo of dying and the bardo of becoming is a very special state of luminosity or clear light called the bardo of dharmata. This bardo corresponds to the period after sleep and before dreams begin." Page 108 Netemara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
