Okay, it's about here. You know, it's all my good. All right. Thank you. All right. Oh, now we have our RTR-397 cage. There's a 397. this is the general explanation about the inner generation stage and that has three parts the first part was we explained the inner generation state is superior to the other generation of states and then the second one is that the superior one is explained in the literature of the tantra and then finally the third one is the

[01:29]

how to experience, you know, the inner mandala, you know, generation of the stage, how you apply it to your practice. Now, that is the topic this time. The principle of the The method tantra is taking the initiation of the path initiation. That is important. Path initiation is the principal matter of There are two things we are talking about here.

[02:43]

The initiation and the focus in your mind sharpening of your mind by way of concentrating on the Bada Mandala. So these two topics, right? And the first initiation, subject to initiation is, of course, you should take it from the, first, you should take it from the Guru. Later on, after you receive the initiation, then later on, you can continue taking self-initiations, achieving it later. Later, you can take self-initiations.

[03:48]

This is talking about self-division, about the initiation itself. that has the two parts, the actual initiation that you receive from the guru first, and then the second initiation that you take it every day by yourself. And so the first, they are taking the actual initiation from somebody. The Lama whom you received initiation about the Kudu? I don't know.

[04:52]

Time. I don't know. Time. Kudu. Cause initiation. Cause initiation. which is you receive, when you give initiation of the advisor, that's a cross-initiation and a path-initiation. And so the first thing is that you have to receive cross-initiation, kudu-guang is called, kudu-guang is called sometimes. And the Lama will receive this. So the Lama... The lamas first have to meditate or enter into the mandala so the preparation is done and then the lama ritual ritualized all the mandala and then the lama sit down and the lama enters into the mandala and all the lama's activities he is talking about.

[06:00]

At the time of entering the mandala, there were blessings. There were five different ways of doing these blessings. And then the actual initiation time, then there is four . I'm quite not too sure whether

[07:01]

means he is lama has to take fully initiated by himself for initiations when she taking initiations with also including the deities of the body mandala and you have to take that with that finish, Lama prepared all these things. Then Lama also prepared kind of a consequence of interdependence or auspiciousness of a thing is called a blessing of the guineas, the father and the mother, the guineas, and are connected with the prana, room, and the same, the mind, the body combination of that, which means that there are some kind of, you remember that on the landline,

[08:32]

When the disciples come, there's an exact time where the alarmist, the right or left or, you know, some sort of preparation that was proper way of to sign or sign kind of reading preparations of the thing to to put together. Then there is four pieces of mandala. Lama introduced into the object, the four bodies of Buddha. a special kind of method, skillful method to introducing the disciples this kind of thing.

[09:48]

So what it's exactly saying is that initiation is characteristic of initiation is that the Lama skillfully explained the object of four mandalas to introduce to four buddhas and by arranging the proper manner of the situation of the time and space and everything and the lamas and both disciples the lung and the sin matching together then the actual ritual taking place a lot of language in Bani then the actual ritualization of the method is to be understood as a separate text that you can also study with it

[11:02]

there is a text name of the text is called how to initiate the mandala empowerment you should know then That's right. There is a text. There is actually an English translation of that, right? That's a kind of, in India, typed it, typed it up by somebody, a long one, in the East one, there is a typed it. That's completely, I think you have that when you received the initiation at the time of the LMJ.

[12:21]

They distributed it in the Persian. But I do have an English one, too. Yeah, there's some empowerment and also explanation of the whole ritual of empowerment. There's a translator. Yeah, I mean, so the actual text, it actually comes from the road, but the green it calls empowerment. That's right. Somebody translated it in Vancouver, or they had a transition in Vancouver, and actually this Vincent Merrill or whatever, he also translated it. That's right. And I think we have it all for wisdom. You can help me to give something. Now that is up to that is your actual initiation that you go to see Lama and Lama give you the initiation.

[13:29]

That is actual initiation. And the team is later. And later then, when you receive that, then you sit down and then you do the sadhana. And then within the sadhana, then there is a danju, it's called. And you enter into the mandala and then receive messages. Everything is saying, except in this time you are doing it by yourself. You're imagining the lama is there and the lama, remember that lama is Then from the heart of the Kiruka comes out the deities and then the crowns and what have you, waterbells, everything is transformed into just like a initiation, right? That is called a self initiation. which means the purpose of sadhana is to renew constantly until you become familiar, habitualized.

[14:48]

Until then, that's the reason that you are doing the sadhana. you know sadhana supposed to do four times a day if you can or you cannot but at least one time a day. and then you clearly try to visualize all those

[15:57]

according to the sardana you crystallized all the deities into your body mandala and then within that text there is a longer the medium and the brief types of initiations self initiations whatever you can do at each of them if you can one of those you can choose and do it brief initiation or longer initiation or meeting with. Then you can do that. So this particular practice is Bangcha means things to be rejected. Another is mental afflictions, nye mong ba or bang zha is afflictions, any action, bad karma, everything is rejected from the basis of the body.

[17:17]

On the basis of the body you reject or you abandon all things. and uh... the uh... or the uh... result uh... benefit are also generated on top of your body right? sometimes this is called an antidote Here is a progress. Progress is also a result of a progress that will generate within your body. And then the traversing or the traversing upright on the stages of the realization of the path and the stage.

[18:24]

Buddhas. You can also, by way of body, from the body, because you are emphasizing so much on the body. Madhya Mandala, he's emphasizing so much. All this eating and doing, both of them are emphasized to your body. So everything is based on your body. Through that, then one yogi, he or he, will be able to reach the Vajral Order of the 13 Bumi. The method of that is The Method Tantra, this is called the Method Tantra, is the main thing, the foundation.

[19:33]

The Method Tantra is the main method to transcending our body into the Buddha body. And so here it says, to this practice, It is important once you diligently to pay attention and do it carefully and literally. Now the second one is the training of your mind on the basis of the body mandala. There is a Lui Jiji, Sim Jin is called. Sim Jin, Sim Jin. Sim is mind. And Jin is the holding, or the training, or control, control your mind.

[20:38]

And there is two things, accomplishing on the basis of the inner Maddala, the body Maddala, and the outer Maddala. Outer Maddala we talked about before. Sim Jin is... you remember third eye and then pictures and the mirror image looking into and everything and then the right face, left face, right leg and the legs and so forth, right? That is one type of sinjin. But then inner mandala, the body mandala has also same kind of training. So what is that? With a company, with a company. Now, in the chiki, the body model are training of your mind, or the...

[21:55]

Or the Samadhi. The Samadhi for the Bodhi Mandala has three parts, which is just like... First is the category of the entering, the beginning, entering, the method of training, the initial entering is... If you want to accompany it with the outer mandala, when you do that, you call it the end of the outer mandala. by absorbing the will of the wisdom, it's called.

[23:06]

Because of that, then at the end of that, then you generate the Luji, the Bada Mandala. and generate the body mandala, and then you also one lung, which means take another initiation, self-initiation, and then do the four limbs of practice or six limbs of practice, either whatever is the proper word, or the proper word, what you are doing. Then at that time that you do the you do the mind training or the mind sharpening or holding your mind.

[24:20]

If you wanted to suddenly decide to do the Varenadala alone, and then first what you should do is to generate the what's called a refuge field generate the Redwitch assembly of the Redwitch field and to the Redwitch field you offer the outer inner offerings and then with a deep devotion with a strong devotion making a strong devotion that the surface field absorbed into the crown of your body.

[25:34]

But, of course, you have to say refuge prayers, too, you know. After you refuge in the sun, then say, take refuge in there. And then at the end of that is to absorb into everything is yourself. And because of that absorb, the dissolving, the assembly of the refuge, then the picture is clear within. You'll be able to kind of clear visual perception of the deities of the body mandala.

[26:45]

Then when you visualize Bada Mandala... Okay, go ahead. Bada Mandala... Then they are... One niche, they are wanting to take initiations. Each of those has... Rita, which is the master of the family. Finally, the last one is, what is that? The Amokasite initiation finished, right? And then Rita, Amokasite is the last one. when that uh... their master is uh... uh... yeah and then uh... when you finish that anyway then you just uh... the same thing starts uh... you hold your mind now the uh...

[28:22]

Here is now the beginning of how you hold your mind. First of all, your own body, the physical body, and also the element, and also the sense and the sense organs, senses. with that, and then also the Jinggu Chi, the four mandalas, all of this, all of this, you should understand from the beginning, original, from the beginning, it is the nature of the Buddha.

[29:29]

And so you should realize that and you build a pride about being that God. Conscious about that. And after that, then in order to make that picture clear then there is to stabilizing the method is accordingly that method is If you wanted to do extensively the concentration, extension concentration, then you do one time to the body mandala, then each of the general one time and general overall in one time,

[30:53]

all together one time, and then each, the palace or the Chiu, Te Ching, Kolo, and this all, Chiu, and the Tinga, and the Ningga, and the Nevo, and the Sangne, all each of them, you've also practiced. Yeah, one session. So you devote one session to the and then you do one for each of the five chocolate. And then you do one for each of the five chocolate. And then you do one for branch duties. That's why. Okay, you have to deal with it. That's the extensive way to do. And then in the middle language of the... Then Luji, which is there under the body, the outer body mandala, the body quickly

[32:19]

In other words, that you are recognizing your body. This body is like a hiruga and vajava. That will be the first vajava. And then within the, while you're doing the middly one, then at the same time, you can do the puke purang. Right? So one time the heart mandala. Then the Parasum, which is the third crown and the throat and the navel, you can do it there each time. Then the purang, or the last purang is the secret place, secret mandala. It's called the Last one, hold on, fifth one, the celestial, sometimes called celestial, you know, palace, celestial palace.

[33:34]

The secret celestial palace is that when you do that, also they do the limbs. There are goddesses and gods and goddesses of their limbs all together. This method is a medley length. The short one is the beginning and the end of that is the same thing for the medley. Then the Three, the remaining three celestial pilots are together, do it together and in one time.

[34:40]

So that will be the short. So you can do it in 75 or 70 sessions. Right. When you visualize the object of God, one should begin at the Naval Chakra because the Naval Chakra is the way that the evolution of the human being starts. Lui Chakma Thoma is the beginning of the evolution of the body, physical body.

[35:42]

We talked about that before, right? And so that first started with the navel chakra concentration. And then when you do the clear, what's called, the image, visualization, start. And when you start, which chakra, there's five chakras. One may be a wonderer, which chakra should we choose first, right? The ear is suggesting that you should start with a navel chakra. Because why is navel chakra so important? Because when we're born, They say that the enabled child forms first. And so therefore there's some good things. Visualize. Then if you do the... This is visualization. Now you're not talking about the holding your mind.

[36:46]

Now if you're holding your mind... you're holding your light, then it is a location, it's a heart, suggested me. Because the heart is where to generate, or the door, where that generates the clear light. The clear light is usually the property of the consciousness. Same name. Property of the consciousness is a clear light, which is located not in the lower level or brain or

[37:52]

throughout or anywhere else it's located in the heart and so that is the important way you two different things visually if you wanted to generate navel consciously holding your mind at the heart so you recognize when you're talking about clear light you are talking about heart chakra Right, a long journey when they said to do the Bodhi Mandala. The first time they start with the stomach. The navel, navel, navel, yeah, navel. Right here when you do the meditation, start with the heart. The heart represents the mind. You know, it was sort of a consciousness. Yeah, right. Glad I heard it and left. And now here, when you are training your mind or the consciousness, which is located in your heart, first of all, there is, in the heart, there is a tubulji.

[39:18]

There is a The center of the deity, the name of that center of the deity is called the vajra heart. Now the vajra head and the heart is a vajra form of the image of the deity. So then it's the same thing which is a long time ago when we were talking about the Simjin or the General Sinjin on the Hibajara support, the center eye, and the right ear, and the left ear, right eye, and the sore forward. Similar to that, you do it, except this time is inside of your heart. General Sinjin. And then, when you finish that, then you go up to the throat, mandala. So you're meditating, at the core, you're meditating on the central eye of Akshubhya.

[40:27]

Akshubhya, central eye of Akshubhya. And the throat. Then where the throat and then the two, then the dewa, the navel, then the sangnai, which is the secret channel. So you're holding, basically, He needed to focus on your central eye of the each main deities. Central eye of... He just, um... ...Morgan City, yeah. Then you can go ahead and just, you know, try to, what do you call it, visual, generate it clearly on the parts of details, details of the work.

[41:55]

So you understand all that nature of the whole, the personifications and everything you should understand through that. If you're clear, then you leave it. If you don't have still good visions, you try not to force yourself. Just leave it along the rest and then you start again. You don't force it. You just try to work on it slowly. You go a little more, maybe one step up and then walk down, you know, two step up and one step down. So then the yu yu jeng jeng ha, which means the gods, the goddess of the object gods, and the perception gods, and the perceiving goddesses, are all those 12 goddesses.

[43:17]

It is mentioned in the literature, tantric literature. If you can't do that, do it. It is important. It is okay. It is very good. If you can do it, then it is okay. Really, you are following the literature of the tantra. All of the details, all of the juggles, of course, and the leaves of the bodies of the deities, and then the senses, and the sense of organs and the object of the deities.

[44:20]

All of them is important if you can do this. Well, these are talking about the duties which seal the organs of the sense. Right. Like from the eyes, Mahalashara, and the Lord. Right. [...] Right, right. Then after you finish that, then the yoga of the rising. The yoga of the rising is called. So the yoga of entering the yoga of abiding is the yoga of the rising.

[45:25]

Right. So now the yoga of the rising. Juke, you'll go on the end ring, it's a juke. And you'll go on...
