The level of depth we're going towards is like this Imagine in your mind a void. What does that void forst manifest itself as in your imagination Normally it's a black abyss of nothingness But black is still something being experienced by something So in reality the void is 3 things Dimension, black and something being aware of it Now take the concept of even black not being involved, because although black is associated with nothing, it's still a something Take this away and see if the mind can imagine it. It can't. So we're down to 2 things, which are Dimension or space and what's aware of it. Even though theirs 2 qualities to this unimaginable experience, its still unfathomable Now attwmpt to even take away the concept of there being a Dimension away. A dimension or space which contains even beyond voidness Can't be done but yet even if you take this away, you still have the experiencer, At this level what can be realised if space or dimension doesn't even exist? It realises its true nature. Not rigpa but itself in such a way that cannot be undone. This is the level of a buddha. That not even the dimension of void before it becomes void is grasped to Unthinkable level. This level is what causes rainbow body. It just happens. Automatically. What's realised completely transcends our ordinary notion of things to the point where liberation is permanent and can't be undone Think of the level of dzogchen which I’m teaching. Awareness and appearances simultaneously arise. They support one another. Awareness or apprehender arise simultaneously with what’s being aware of or apprehended Where does this come from? It comes from space or dimension for things to arise, sort of like a container for both Awareness and things to arise simultaneously Now if you think, does apprehender exist without something to apprehend? No Can anything arise without the dimension being there for something to arise? No Does dimension and apprehender have the capacity to arise without each other? No So you see, although all 3 have different qualities, they’re the causal ground which supports each other It’s a unity. Take sound phenomena for example, can sound be sound without the apprehender? No Can sound be sound without the dimension space? No Can dimensional space existence without something to fill that space? No Can awareness be aware without the dimensional space of something to be aware of ? No These 3 aspects of what creates pur reality are called the kayas Dharmakāya which is space Sambogakaya which is clarity ( apprehender ) Nirmanikaya which are the things which fills the space and what the apprehender is aware of At this level we become aware that all 3 are the same, they just express themselves independently which is called delusional apprehension Or the state which fails to see how things are Then we have nirvana apprehension. The state which sees that all 3 are a unity And then we have, full buddha realisation. The state which is beyond even that. The stare of a buddha is so far gone thar even dimensional space and things in that space are a deluded concept The apprehender, or awareness. Can you actually say anything concrete about that ? No Can you say anything concrete about dimensional space? No Can you say anything concrete about what appears in dimensional space which is being apprehended, which isn’t involving the mind? No All are actually empty. But to even imagine emptiness being itself empty is impossible to do! However emptiness itself if witnessed Is a state of no thing. A dimensional space Even if we enter a realm which was just space supporting itself. Contained nothing but the space. It didn’t need to rely on anything to fill the space but yet could exist. What would then be the support for its existence? The apprehender of course But what is the apprehender? Is it blank is it lucid or is it the absolute nature of all things? Of course it’s the absolute nature of all things It’s the ground, the inner radiance of the dharmakāya. Not yet manifesting as anything but us the causal ground for all things to manifest Awareness itself is empty, it’s lucid clarity before anything to even arise. But yet its still a delusion, space and awareness are at the core before anything to exist supporting one another The practitioner must realise that we are in an isolated individual experience. For dimension and things in that dimension to exist their must be something to be present in it But this presence itself is nothing. Where does presence come from? Is there a beginning or end? No So vividly apparent but yet fundamentally empty of anything and empty of having any existence Awareness itself is a dimensional space which creates all things within that space But try to imagine for a moment that you are about to realise that awareness is a dimensional Thus concludes my teachings on true meaning
He has better command of English than most English people. On the point of ''negative'' emotions I tend to disagree. Whilst there are uncomfortable and unpleasant emotions, I do not believe any emotion is negative per se. E-motion is energy in motion and exists for a reason. For example if I witness violence then I may feel angry. Is that negative? No! It's appropriate and the energy of anger may motivate constructive action. So calling anything negative is a judgement, which often leads to supression. I see many religious monks/nuns who are good at giving lectures, but when alone behave unacceptably. This is because they repress their honest emotions, to be good buddhists. But those emotions come out when they think it doesn't matter.
if one informs oneself on the Buddha's teachings of the second turning of the wheel, what he says becomes evident. in the first turning-teachings the aim of an entity getting out of problems is taught. in the second turning the hangup on an entity that's get somewhere is left and duality is calmed down. just an understanding :)
