Transcript: 

If you think that your body is being fully enlightened, being, and that your body, again, is of the nature of light, you just sort of get a feel first to this, if you really are of the nature of light, your body filled with light, like a reddish-colored light appearing, but at the same time emptied out into the nature of its own, just like the inflection in the mirror. And then within your body, you have the central vein running from the secret organ straight up through the center of the body. This is sort of like right in the center of the body. Runs on the side, right side to left side, just right in the center of the body. Beginning at the secret organ itself, rising up straight up through the body, to the top of the head. Now at this time, you can see the curve down and then place between the eyebrows. And you think of this central vein is right on the outside, right inside. straight, very firm, very transparent, and there's sort of light also.

[01:20]

Then just at the place between the eyebrows, the vein comes right up to the end, the spot between the eyebrows. Just there, inside, there's one red-colored Dhammakata, or in other words, just one triangle. So there's a flat part, like if you look at the spot between your eyes, you'll see like a triangle lying flat. And then this is a three-dimensional thing, so the point comes in, comes inside the body, into the frontal vein itself. You just get a feel of this inverted pyramid with the triangle, the flat part coming out, just sitting there, right at the edge of the place between the eyebrows. the field either. And then, also at the base of the central vein, as it meets the secret organ itself, but also at that end, there's another inverted triangle. So that the triangular part is out, so it's flush with the end of the central vein. And then the tip comes in, up in, or the tip of the pyramid comes up into the central vein itself.

[02:27]

So it's coming up in, upwards into your body. You can get a feel now of the central vein being there with these two pyramids where Dhammakaras run at the place between the eyebrows and run at the place of the secret organs, both at the end of the central vein. Now think, actually, that within this Dhammakara at the place between the eyebrows, there's a little duplicate of called nectar or crystal. And it turns out to be that it's like a rainbow of light, a five-percent-colored light. It's like a little ball, like the size of a pea. It was sparkling, shining, flickering, very bright, very brilliant. And it's the breath of nature, the place itself. And it's just inside, that triangle, or in that little inverted pyramid, that it places in your eyes. And concentrate on that. Just really keep it there for a long time. But if you wish, through the vast reflection of breath of the navel,

[03:28]

Or concentrate if you're lying a bit on that drop of sparkling nature of light, different colored light at the plate between the eyebrows. and actually the tip, which goes into it, there's a little hole in it, there's a little hole in the base.

[04:37]

Also the one at the secret organ, which comes upward, the tip of that also has its small hole in it. On directing your mind to this element, or droplet, place it between the eyebrows, watch it now very slowly rise up through the dharmakara, through the little hole opening there, and rise up straight up through the central vein, like the top of the head. and it goes up very slowly, very recently, sometimes it gets raining, sparkling, very shiny. And when it gets to the top of the head, just meditate on it being there, direct your mind right to the top of the head. You can be able to begin. Watch this drop of the sparkling light, the light inside of you. within the abidusi vein. From that dot, I think another one comes out, a small one, and actually it sort of looks like a piece of a ball of yarn that falls down with a little stretch of yarn or thread hanging behind it.

[05:45]

And then this little ball, a smaller little dot now, and that first one at the top of the head starts to float down and stand at a very steady pace to go straight down through the abidusi vein. It starts to come down. It reaches the level of the throat. And it keeps going down to the level of the heart. And it keeps going down to the level. And then you think, actually, as it reaches the secret organ and it goes right through the hole in the inverted pyramid there in the Drona Kata. And then it completely issues out from your body about an inch and a half, two inches outside of the body itself. Then you can try it again. Concentrate your head. or concentrate your mind on the droplet at the top of the head, and then watch the elements, again, a little drop-up, again, issue from that one, federally, leisurely defend through the abadusian vein, and throw it issues down through the domitara at the base of the abadusian vein.

[06:47]

nature of mind from the very beginning combination of clarity and emptiness and in the higher sense actually is clarity itself when we understand the nature of our mind to be enlightened but the clarity of mind actually is pervaded by the nature of bliss so actually this is the ramification of the bliss aspect of the clarity of mind or actually what happens is the clarity of mind is just the ordinary characteristic of mind so when we gain a state of enlightenment that characteristic actually is the nature of bliss itself instead of just the nature of So that this is actually to say that the enlightened being is constantly in the state of bliss, but this bliss state also is of the nature of emptiness, and that these two and others will emerge together. So the second step of this meditation then is to understand the nature of that bliss, or the nature of mind, to be of the nature of emptiness. Before that, again, we still are in the form of Vajrayogini, and also continue to have visualization of the central vein, running from the secret organ straight to the top of the head, emerging there, coming down to the end of the place between the eyebrows.

[08:08]

And again, at the end of the eyebrows, we visualize, as before, just about the color, on this sparkling little droplet of many colored lights. And then we just concentrate on the spot again, both between the eyebrows, with this droplet of a small little key size, little droplet of light, flipping of different colors, like light, red, green, blue, yellow. It's like a rainbow. Very bright, very shiny. I'm going to turn my eyebrows right up to the top of the head. That should work very easily when I reach the top of the head. Don't concentrate your mind on that spot there, the dapa. Shining light, just the top of the head within the other people. There's all your focus right there.

[09:19]

And from that little dapa, I think that many light rays start issuing out very leisurely, very softly of these different colors. But it stays within your body and starts to descend from that little point, starts to pull down through your head. And as it flows down through your head, wherever it reaches, just like it keeps going down, then all that part of the body becomes like a rainbow. You just feel like it's like five different colors, just like you see a rainbow in the sky, and you know it's just like the light itself. So also as it filters down through your body, it bursts your entire head. It feels like a rainbow of five-colored light. And then it keeps going down through the central part of your body. And whatever part it touches, all that keeps turning into like a rainbow light. throwing the entire universe. And as these rainbow lights go out, throwing the universe, everything that touches are animate and inanimate objects of people, living beings, animals. Whatever it touches are so different things as well, trees, grass, buildings, mountains, clouds, everything.

[10:24]

All these also transform or just become the nature of light, like the rainbows. They have their shape, just like the nature of light itself, become the light. And as you watch yourself and all these ancient dreams and inanimate objects, the nature of light, like rainbows, then place your mind in the inexpressible state. But when you see these, you don't grasp onto them. There's nothing to hold. Whether they appear as rainbows or as light, they're of the nature of nothing. They are in the form of these rainbow-like bodies, rainbow-like shapes.

[11:41]

They all just dissolve. They disappear. They fade away like rainbow, fade away in the sky. Now also you think that your own body, which is in the shape of a large beginning, but of these high, colored-like rainbow, starts to absorb itself upwards from the feet up and grows upwards. straight up until finally everything just joins with that little drop of black color light from the top of your head, because nothing remains now, except a small little drop of the ball of light, sparking, flashing. Then think also that evolves into the state of Ramadan, and just evolves like a rainbow in the sky, and place your mind in the state of bliss and emptiness, and the natural state of mind itself, without any grasping, without thinking or the meditator, something to be meditated on, practice meditations, to put the mind up to themselves.

[12:52]

Just focus only on that confidence. And from that, think that your body starts to reappear again from the top of the head downwards. And slowly, each part of your body, you as well as beginning, starts to reappear. and then finally you appear again as watching me. When outside of you, all the universe again also will be reappeared. Now again, you would like to begin to concentrate on the structure at the top of your head. Now as you concentrate on it, point to the light of the subject which you outcome very easily. So when you arrive from the top of your head down, Once you close your body, your body again transforms into a rainbow light.

[13:58]

And when the inanimate objects evolve, may also transform into rainbow light, rainbow shape. Clearly all of them disappear like a rainbow that disappeared in the sky. And then, after your own body, the form of this rainbow starts to drift upwards into itself. So it just drops on its left, at the top of your head. When you can't cross on the left, you see the eyes float away like a rainbow in the sky. and keep your mind and hold it up.

[14:58]

When you think again, drop it, leave here. And from this, by raising you down to your body, leave here again, and snore in front of the baby. And go through this meditation once by yourself. When you're going through the steps, or concentrating on the drop of the top of your head, the light rays issuing from that to your own body, stage by stage, level by level, transforms into a rainbow form, from light rays issuing out from the customary element of the inanimate world, transforming that into the rainbow's body, and the ventures appear, and into your own body also, from the deep outward spots, to grow them to itself, to the source into that drop of the top of your head, when the ventures appear, as you buy from the use of the Dhamma-data, you must deny. This is once again, and then his body starts to be here, so they never bail out of him.

[16:04]

who you really fear in the front of the deity once again. So that's actually the meditation, the second part of the process of completion meditation, of understanding the nature of all things, the nature of emptiness, or the mind itself, the energy of emptiness. And when you hold it in a non-grasping state, actually, that you see that this is truly the non-dual state of mind, which is the non-grasping state of merging together, of listening, everything else, So in conclusion of that, we'll start and then we'll go to this non-common meditation beyond thought, which is on page 77. So again, still maintain the visualization of the selfless deity, the Vajra-Vini, with all the hand objects, ornaments. Then again, from your navel to the top of the head, run to Abhiduti vein, more on the right and left, meeting with the Abhiduti navel, and then running up alongside that, you have the Raksana and Alana vein, running to the top of the head, and then hurting down to the upper nostrils. And then at the level of noble, within these three veins, where they merge together, the small Vajjigini, your mind, half a particle time.

[17:15]

And think that another Vajjigini issue valve from this one, slightly smaller, rises up through the right dasana vein, rises through the body, connects itself through the right nostril, and remains just outside there. But from that place, many emanations of this Vajjigini issue for us are involved in different photo realms, but often saw the bodhis and bodhisattvas in each realm. and also countless animations go up to completely fill all the pre-runs of existence by the touch of the present, and the inanimate objects are all transformed into the Vigigini. And all these now return to the Vigigini outside the nose. And this one now, with the inhalation, enters into the left nostrum, from through the Lala Merlin, and then re-emerges, as we have worked, into the Vigigini's navel. and then from that body being enabled, light raises you out, throwing your entire body, and limbs, the life and arms of the body, and sortens the life, and sortens the main trunk of the body.

[18:19]

From the trunk of the body itself, she comes like a huge ball, red light, and slowly, body usually starts to ascend through that central vein, as she rises up through the vein, three veins, and cells, central, enter up into her, from below, and after the lower parts of the ball of life, your own body enter into her, where she rides left and rise at the top of the head, are the light in the veins, and the wheel of the earth in the earth. The Jews show up through the sky and rise to the pure realm of the Kachana, and there are then two sandwiches, and the pure light of the earth in the darkness. Everything out is taken up from the Vajjajinism and reappears, sent to the sky.

[19:31]

If you arrive the Dhammaranda opening at the top of your head, then you again reappear as Vajjajinism, but this time without 10 options. So in this form of the outside Vajjajinism, then we recite the Sama Asana on page 90. Out of the state of emptiness, from air, arises some. Prakata, which obstructs you from gaining the stage of personal liberation, and the veil

[20:32]

And when you get the first bhumi, for example, of a bodhisattva's bhumi, that veil is destroyed. And then the residue of that is the second veil, which is known as the veil of knowable things, which actually, as long as you have that, that obstructs you from gaining omniscience and good of it. So by destroying those two, then you gain liberation and omniscience. Thank you. After the mental recitation, before the non-common meditation, the Anton. Mental recitation. And then before the non-common meditation, the Anton. Well, you can just work on one first and then get that.

[21:33]

And then, I mean, you can go through all of them. It's okay, anytime. Well, these are different signs that can arise for them. But even if you have a sign, don't pay attention to it. Yeah, but even then, when you have a sign, you don't think it's good, you don't think it's bad, just you see it, you don't grasp it, don't be attached to it, and then keep practicing. It's important. Usually we do. Yeah, actually when we're really creating an outer creation, such as at the time of the firma offerings, when we're actually invoking someone in front of us, a lady in front of us, and making outer physical offerings, at that time we're going to use this one, what's called the inner offering, at that time we'll use, physically use it.

[22:36]

At the time of just the meditation, when we're creating this in our mind, like just at the time of Guru Yoga, for example, we're not making you know we're not using the shrine and not putting up offerings for them specifically then we're just also visualizing we're making that offering so that's all then good luck in your practice there is one monk in tibet he practices very strongly then when he was about to die he told all the others at the monastery he said i'm going to go into this room across the way He said, don't open the door for seven days. He said, actually, I went to practice this rainbow body, and then I went to leave. So then they put him in the room, and they locked it up very carefully, so he couldn't get out. Then after about three or four days, many rainbows started appearing all over the face, outside his house and everywhere, the whole area. Then after seven days, they opened up the room, and just where he was sitting, all his clothes sort of just went down in a heap, and his hair and his fingernails were there, and everything else was gone.

[23:38]

So he got the rainbow body. So you can practice like that in the body. Actually, it's through this practice. Practice all. Thank you.
