TRANSLATOR'S NOTE TO THE LONGSAL SERIES OF TEACHINGS

The Longsal Cycle or The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakinis (Klang chen 'od gsa! mkha' 'gro 'i snying thig) is the collection of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu's discovered teachings. This series of publications contains translations of the original texts together with the histories of their discovery. The reader should be aware that in order to thoroughly un­ derstand and apply the teachings included in the texts, it is essential to rely upon the oral instruc­ tions of the transmission holder.

PREFACE

This seventh volume of teachings from the Longsal cycle contains four upadeshas and the histories of their discovery. These teachings were received through dreams over a period of time from 1959 to 2001. The Most Important Points on the View, Medi­ tation, Behavior and Fruit (ITa sgom spyod 'bras kyi gnad gzer), also known as The Upadesha on the Most Important Points ofAti (A ti 'i gnad gzer man ngag), received in a dream from Chang­ chub Dorje as inseparable from Garab Dorje and Padmasambhava, contains the essence of the Ati Dzogpa Chenpo teaching in few verses. The Upadesha on the Twenty-Five Spaces (Klang chen nyi shu rtsa lnga 'i man ngag), re­ ceived in 1980 and then in 1991, is a supreme practice of purification based on twenty-five man­ tras originally found in the btags grol tantras. The dreams relating to this upadesha are connected to Kunga Palden (1878-1950), one of the Author's teachers. The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel, Thigle of the Mind ofthe Guru Wisdom Dakini (Bla maye shes mkha' 'gro 'i thugs thig yid bzhin nor bu), received in dreams from 1993 to 2000, is an essential method of practice related to the three dimensions of the Body, Voice and Mind of the Guru Jfianadakini or Wisdom Dakini.

9

The Bardo Instructions Sealed with the HOM (Bar do 'i gdams pa hum gi rgya can), received in dreams from 1984 to 2001, contains profound instructions on the various types of Bardos or intermediate states, in particular focusing on the crucial moment of the Bardo of the Dharmata. One of the dreams relating to this upadesha is connected to Khyentse Rinpoche Chokyi Wang­ chuk (1910-1963 ), maternal uncle and one of the Author's teachers. I wish to thank Steve Landsberg for reviewing my English.

oo �oo ..;f?oo c.�oo THE HISTORY Around the middle of the second month of the Earth-Female-Boar year (Aprill959), while I was in Gangtok, Sikkim, I had the following dream. I was in front of a majestic statue ofNangsid Zilnon which I thought might be the one known as the "talking statue of the Guru" found in the Lhadrong monastery in Kham, and I was repeat­ ing over and over the seven-line invocation of the Mahaguru of Oddiyana. At a certain point, from the temple where I was staying the natural sounds of A OM U, as if connected one after the other, resounded very loudly, in such a way that it looked as if the temple itself had become a big bell, whose sound nobody could have tolerated to hear. While this was happening, all of a sud-

den the statue of Guru Rinpoche transformed and became

my

Guru, the Vidyadhara Changchub

Dorje, in Heruka's attire. He had a joyful expres­ sion, a youthful appearance and a brown com­ plexion with a reddish hue. Upon his hands, in the meditation mudra, there was a crystal drombu (sphere) one finger span in size, inside of which the symbolic letter similar to the (Tibetan) CA shone brightly in glittering gold. On the throne where my Guru was sitting, on a base of pure azurite were the following letters in elegant Tibetan Uchen character, as if written with molten gold, with two dots, one on top of the other, separating each syllable: I PAY HOMAGE

TO THE MASTER GARAB DORJE I thought, "Is my Guru sitting on the throne of the master Garab Dorje, or does this mean that my Guru is an emanation of the master Garab Dorje? Who knows?" While I was thinking, the face of the statue that was unmistakably my Guru's suddenly changed and became very young and white with a reddish hue. He was pronouncing some verses with the

melodious and pleasant voice of an eight year old boy: Noble son! The most important of the pro­ found points Do not need the chains of hope and fear. Relax in equanimity without modifying any­ thing In the authentic condition as it is, And perfect activities will manifest without interruption. There is no doubt or uncertainty about this. Noble son, listen! Not understanding that the View is one's own state, One follows words of intellectual analysis and sectarianism. Not knowing that there is nothing to medi­ tate... AAA At the end he sounded three As and remained without moving for some time. Then he became again the statue of Guru Rinpoche. I thought, "These instructions must certainly be considered as a very profound teaching and as the essence of practice, given by the three inseparable mani­ festations: my kind Guru (Changchub Dorje),

the master Garab Dorje, and Guru Rinpoche. Do I have them in memory?" So I imme9-iately started to recite the verses, but I could not re­ member clearly all of them, except for the ones quoted above. Right away I invoked my Guru the Vidyadhara Changchub Dorje repeatedly, when at a certain moment a five-colored Thigle the size of a large round shield appeared in front of me. Inside it, on a base of pure azurite, there were Ti­ betan letters in excellent Uchen characters, as if written with molten gold, with two dots one on top of the other separating each syllable, and the Terma sign at the end of the line:

One gets attached to the effort of accepting what is good and renouncing what is bad. Not understanding that the fruit is self-perfected, One remains suffocated by the impurities of hope and fear which (hinder) knowledge.

To comprehend completely the meaning and all these words that were clearly appearing, I started repeating the verses, and while doing that I woke up. In that moment I remembered clearly my dream, and immediately wrote it down. Since that time I have always kept in my mind these words concerning the view, meditation, behavior and fruit, and I have also exclusively based the core of my practice on this special teaching.

T HE HISTORY In the Metal-Male-Monkey year [the twelfth of august, 1980], while I was in California, in the West of the United States of America, in a hall of the Stanford University in P alo Alto, a town near San Francisco, I gave a general introduction about the Tibetan teaching, culture and history to many people assembled there. That night I had the following dream. I had the feeling I was one of the so-called "spheres of prana for concentration". I was in­ side a very clear and pure sphere of light whose circumference spread from my body for about a fathom in all directions. The sphere could reach any desired place in a flash. Not only was I in the

dimension of space, but there were some other similar spheres of light on my right and my left. Not far from my sphere of light there was a red­ dish sphere of light inside of which I could see a very beautiful girl adorned with ornaments simi­ lar to those which are worn by Chinese Opera ac­ tresses. The moment I looked at her she arrived near me. I asked her in Tibetan, "In which dimension of space are we now?" "Now we are in the space dimension ofUtala," she replied also in Tibetan. "What is Utala?" I asked again. "Utala is a Thalwa dimension similar to the human world," she replied. "How many continents are in this Thalwa?"

"There are so many continents. However, as to (the number of) continents in which Vidyadharas and Dakinis live, there are more than twenty in the Thalwa of Utala" she explained. "Are you from the Thalwa dimension of Uta­ la?" I asked her.

"I am a protectress who lives both in Utala and in the S aha human world", she replied. "Which famous Tibetan Vidyadharas reside in the Thalwa dimension of Utala?" I asked. "Many ancient Tibetan Vidyadharas, both male and female, live in several continents of the Thalwa dimension of Utala. On the continent of Apara live the late great Vidyadhara Kunga Palden and his main student P awo Heka Lingpa, who are (both) related to you," she said.

"I

really want to meet them. Please lead me to

them!" I pleaded. "Don't you know that I came here to invite you?" she said. "I am sorry," I replied. "I didn't know it". "Well, I am Malati, a protectress who abides by the command of Pawo Heka Lingpa. I have met you before. Now Heka Lingpa sent me to in­ vite you," she explained. "If that is so, let's go there quickly," I told her. In that very moment I found we had instant­ ly arrived in the middle part of a rock made of multicolored precious materials. From there we climbed up and crossed a pathway on the right.

On the lower path, which was a small plain, I saw some beings with lion like faces and human like bodies wearing a blue silken skirt and a long silken belt of many colors. They were building a round house, which emitted a dark blue light, on the top of a very large pillar about five human be­ ings in height. Above (the house) there were two geometrical structures of four sides each, one fac­ ing the other. (The whole building) seemed trans­ parent (with no specific color), but looking at it from the outside gave the impression that it was sparkling with blue light. Also in other places not far from there I saw some houses similar to that. I thought they probably were the homes of these

beings.

I asked to the protectress Malati, "Who are these beings?" "They are the Shamabala beings belonging to a section of Apara," she replied. At that time we arrived in front of a smooth, transparent crystal rock whose inner part, deep and shimmering with multicolored lights, was clearly visible. On its surface there was this writ­ ing in natural bright ruby:

Malati touched the writing with her left fore­ finger and as soon as she uttered the sounds U A AN, a triangular rocky door a fathom in size suddenly opened by itself in front of us . Malati told me:

"Come inside !" I entered the doorway and reached the inside. There was a pathway brightly shining with the natural light of precious materi­ als. We crossed it and after walking for about three minutes we arrived in front of the entrance of a hall. We went inside and in the center of the hall, upon a black stone resembling a half egg facing upwards and resting on a dark red ruby colored stone, square in shape and one cubit in size, I saw an elegant Shamabala who seemed to be giving a talk in a very strange language. Around him there were more than a hundred Shamabalas who were listening attentively. "Who is this Shamabala 1n the center?" I asked Malati, and she replied, "Don't you recog­ nize him? He is the human Mahasiddha Kunga Palden. He is teaching to the Shamabalas the Tan­

tra ofthe Unique Son of the Teaching". Immediately I unified my mind with the State

of the Master and continued in the condition of equality. Then that imposing Shamabala in the

As soon as he finished, the Mahasiddha be­ came again to

an

elegant Shamabala who seemed

be giving a talk in a very strange language. In

that moment Malati said, "Now let's go in front of Pawo Heka Lingpa!" In the innermost part of that hall there was another big entrance, and the moment that we passed it, the telephone rang very loudly in the room where I was sleeping and I woke up. The day had dawned. Since I remembered the dream clearly, I could write down all the verses that I had heard. However, I had doubts whether the words were correct. Therefore, I later compared them with the text of the Virna Nyingthig and ar­ ranged the verses according to the way they are found in it.

oo�oo ..;f?oo %"Joo In the Metal-Female-Sheep year [on the twenty-eighth of December, 1991 ] , while I was in Merigar, main seat of the Dzogchen Commu­ nity of Europe, giving Dzogchen teachings to the many foreign and local students who had assem­ bled there, I had the following dream in the early morning. I was inside an amazing big cave of crystal rock. In its innermost part, on a smooth mirror­ like half-moon shaped rocky surface similar to sapphire, I saw the root symbolic letter of the

Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakin is, as if carved in relief, yellow and shining with a golden light, the size of a round shield. B elow it were the six syllables, 'A A

dream the Mahasiddha Kunga Palden

had already taught these verses, but when I woke up I was not able to recollect them all with such a confidence so that they could really be effective. This time I really want to remember them! " So I relaxed my mind and read them many times . While I was still reading, I woke up. The day had dawned. Since in the moment that I woke up I was pronouncing KARMA EKA MA NU S A, I remembered clearly what I had dreamed and im­ mediately wrote down what was written in the book on the rocky surface:

oo c�oo .;T?oo �oo THE HISTORY In the year of the Water-Bird, on the nineteenth day of the eighth month [the fourth of October, 1 993], while I was in a retreat house in the vi­ cinity of the meditation cave of the Mahaguru of Uddiyana above Tso Padma, in the early morning I had the following dream. I was practicing Guruyoga inside the medita­ tion cave of the Mahaguru ofUddiyana above Tso Padma, when at a certain point I saw a beautiful girl dressed like an Indian lady, maybe Seventeen years old, standing in front of me. She gave me a scroll of paper attached to the inside of a red silk cover and told me in perfect Tibetan, "Please, give me an instructional reading transmission

I opened the scroll and saw (the title of the text) in Tibetan Uchen script together with the symbolic letter of the Longsal :

,

� � From The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakin is Herein is Contained The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel, Thigle of the Mind of the Guru Wisdom Dakini The text was written in vermilion. I was a little surprised, and asked her, "Where did you get this scroll?" "An old nun gave me this scroll," she replied. "Where is this old nun now," I asked again. "I don't know that nun. So I don 't know where she is," she said. "What did she say when she gave you this scroll?"

She said, "This is a special and essential upade­ sha of Dzogpa Chenpo. Practice it well ! " She did not say anything else. As soon as she gave me this scroll she went away with all haste into the bazaar." "Yes, it's true. This is a special essential upadesha which I own. However it is not correct if I give an instructional reading transmission to those who have not received the empowerment and reading transmission of this upadesha in the proper way. I am sorry." Then she said, "Since this is a special upade­ sha of which you are the owner, I want to offer this text to you. In the future, please teach this special upadesha to us ! "

Thus she requested me, and I replied, "When this special upadesha of The Thigle of the Mind

of the Wisdom Dakini will appear in its entirety, I will definitely teach it to you." "Thank you," she said and went outside. I read a little further the text, and this is what it con­ tained: �

�� � Herein is Contained the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel, Thigle of the Mind of the Guru Wisdom Dakini. NAMO GUR U JNANADHAKKINIYE The way ofpracticing the Thigle of the Mind of the Guru Wisdom Dakini (includes) the pre­ liminary phases as usual, and the dimension of the deity as the main practice of visualization­ contemplation. A In the condition of the primordial purity en­ dowed with the three liberations, in the primor­ dial dimension, space of Samantabhadri, in the expanse of self-perfected sound, light and rays, Rigpa manifests as a clear reddish blue HRl!j.

HRlf/ From the complete and instant transforma­ tion of the reddish blue HRllj, wisdom of Rigpa, Samantabhadra Padma Heruka manifests, vis­ ible and empty, like a rainbow in the sky. He is a Pawo, reddish blue, shining brightly,, with one face and two arms and a joyful expression. The hair is half loose and half tied, ornamented with a vajra, jewels and a vulture feather. With the right hand in the mudra of the Subjugator of the Universe (Nangsid Zilnon), he transfers the state ofknowledge to fortunate students. With the left he holds a kapala of nectar adorned with the long life vase. His body is perfectly attired with all the ornaments of a Heruka (including) jewels and bones. With one leg stretched and the other bent in the half-crossed position, he sits on a seat made of lotus, sun and moon. From the HRl!fat the heart a reddish blue light spreads in all sacred places and dimensions, ac­ tivating the samaya of the Wisdom Dakini. Five­ colored rays immediately return.

At this point I woke up . The day was dawn­ ing. I remembered the dream during my morning practice session, but since I had not had the time to read the whole scroll I felt quite sorrowful, but I did not know what to do. Immediately I wrote down my dream in these brief notes so that in the future I would be able to remember it. -

In the year of the Water-Bird, on the twenti­ eth day of the eighth month [the fifth of October, 1993], while I was in a retreat house in the vi­ cinity of the meditation cave of the Mahaguru of Uddiyana above Tso Padma, in the early morning I had the following dream. I was in the same situation as in the dream of the preceding night, in a condition of inseparabil­ ity of vision and mind. In front of me there was a clear, pure and limpid big Drombu (oval con­ tainer) that was a special support of the Wisdom Dakini . Inside it the root symbolic letter of The

Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakin is, was shining brightly as a very clear and elegant character a cubit in size, glitter­ ing yellow with a golden hue. All the rays of light spreading from it were totally merging with the rainbow-like vapor in the space around it. While I was continuing in the state of total equality in which vision and mind are inseparable, all of a sudden I saw many children flying and hovering in the air. One of them arrived near me and re­ mained quietly relaxed. I looked at her accurately

and realized she was the girl I had met a few days before in a dream who had led me to the inner place of the Wisdom Dakini Mandarava. A little surprised, I asked her, "Where are you coming from?" "I am with this group of Pawos and Pamos," she replied. I was thus certain that all these children who had previously helped me were all Pawos and Pa­ mos. I immediately took her right hand and told her, "You have been very kind to show me the in­ ner place of the Wisdom Dakini and in particular to bestow on me a special siddhi of total bliss. What is your name?" "My name is VarJ).ani," she replied. "What is this special support in front of us?" I asked.

"This is the Mind-support of the Wisdom Da­ kini Guhyajfiana. It was also the support of the practice in the past when the Mahaguru Pad­ masambhava and his consort abided in the state

of knowledge of the Wisdom Dakini," she ex­ plained. Again I asked the Pamo Vail). ani, "Which yoga has to be practiced in order to enter the sacred state of knowledge of the Wisdom Dakini?" "Look at the text which is found at the base below this Drombu Mind-support! " she replied. I thought, "Previously I saw a ruby-colored base below this Drombu Mind-support, but I never saw any letter on its surface. What is she talking about?" In that very moment, she took my left hand and told me, "Stand up and come here ! " And led me in front of the ruby-colored base below the Drombu Mind-support.

"Look here ! On the base of this Mind-support the way to practice the yoga of the Wisdom Da­

kini will clearly appear." I looked well and it seemed like there were some letters, but none of them were clearly iden­ tifiable. "Here I don't see any identifiable letter," I told her. With her right hand she turned the base of the support to the left and rubbed the whole upper part of its surface, and upon it I saw very clearly, on a ruby basis, the symbolic letter similar to the (Tibetan) CA with a crescent moon ornament on top, as if written with molten lapis lazuli, like this

followed by a practice text of the Wisdom

Dakini in Tibetan U chen characters, with two dots, one on top of the other, separating each syl­ lable, and the Terma sign at the end of the line. I read the text in its entirety by ·slowly turning the base of the support seven times to the left. It was

a complete text of practice of the Wisdom Dakini according to a system common to Anuyoga and Atiyoga. As soon as I finished reading the text, I ad­ dressed the Pamo or yogini V art).ani, "Thank you so much. Is it all right if you rub also the lower part of the base of the support, so that I can read the lines which are written below?" "The time is not yet ripe for the rest of it. When the time is ripe, I will definitely show it to you," she replied. "If this is so, I certainly need to memorize this practice text in order to remember it when I wake up," I said. With her right hand she stroked my heart, and said, "You don't need to worry. Since this is part of

The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart

Essence of the Dakinis, you will be able to re­ member it as if it was printed in your mind."

While I was thinking that I should read the text one more time, the yogini V a.rJ).ani turned the Mind-support to the left and blew a few times on the surface of its base. Then the letters again be­ came unidentifiable as before. I concentrated on the words and meanings of the practice text and it seemed that I could remember them all vividly in my mind. Then the yogini VaTI).ani said, "Let's circum­ ambulate seven times this Mind-support of the Wisdom Dakini while singing and dancing the Song of Vajra." With a very melodious voice she started to sing:

E MA KI RI KI RI So we began moving around the Mind-support in a clockwise direction with dancing steps com­ bined to the Song of Vajra. As these dance move­ ments were the same that I had already performed during some great gatherings of Ganachakra, I

While continuing to sing and dance together

the Song of Vajra, at a certain point something woke me up. The day was dawning. Since when I woke up I was repeating the line: RA�A BI DHI SA GHU RA LA PA I remembered very clearly what I had dreamed, and

immediately after my morning practice ses­

The way ofpracticing the Thigle of the Mind of the Guru Wisdom Dakini (includes) the pre­ liminary phases as usual, and the dimension of the deity as the main practice of visualization­ contemplation. A In the condition ofprimordial purity endowed with the three liberations, in the primordial di­ mension, space ofSamantabhadri, in the expanse of self-perfected sound, light and rays, Rigpa manifests as a clear reddish blue HRl!j HRl!j From the complete and instant transforma­ tion of the reddish blue HRl!j wisdom of Rigpa, Samantabhadra Padma Heruka manifests, vis­ ible and empty, like a rainbow in the sky. He is a Pawo, reddish blue, shining brightly, with one face, two arms, and a joyful expression. His hair is half loose and half tied, ornamented with a vajra, jewels and a vulture feather. With the right hand, in the mudra of the Subjugator of the Uni­ verse (Nangsid Zilnon), he transfers the state of knowledge to fortunate students. With the left, he

holds a kapala of nectar adorned with the long life vase. His body is perfectly attired with all the ornaments of a Heruka (including) jewels and bones. With one leg stretched and the other bent in the half-crossedposition, he sits on a seat made of lotus, sun and moon. From the HRllj at the heart a reddish blue light spreads in all sacredplaces andpure dimen­ sions, activating the samaya of the Wisdom Da­ kini. Five-colored rays immediately return, and through them, in the space in front of us, inside a pavilion made of a five-colored Thigle which (represents) the Dang of sound, light and rays, the Tsal of the inseparability of oneself (as the deity and the deity visualized) in front manifests as a clear red BAM letter, just like a rainbow (ap­ pears). BAM From the complete transformation of the letter BAM (there manifests) the glorious Wisdom Da­

kini (who is) the Great Mother Samantabhadri as Dharmakaya, Guhyajnana Tsal as Sambhogaka­ ya, Gomadevi as Nirmanakaya and the Dakini Mandarava as later Nirmanakaya. She is our root master in (her very) essence, and appears in the form of a Wisdom Dakini (in the following way). 91

With one face and two a rms, she is white with a pinkish hue. She is joyous and charming, in the full bloom of youth. Her hair is half loose and half tied, o rnamented with jewels and the sym­ bols of the five families. With he r right hand she brandishes a cu rved knife in space to untie the fetters of grasping thoughts and (allow) wisdom to sp read. With the left hand, in the meditation mudra, (she holds) a kapala in which the nectar of blessings, self-libe ration of the perceived vi­ sion, is gathered. Her body is ado rned with o rna­ ments ofjewels and bones and pe rfected with all the o rnaments of the queen ofyoginis. As a sym­ bol of the single taste of samsa ra and nirvana, she sits on a lotus and moon with the right leg stretched and the left bent. In the vast expanse of the sky, in the main and inte rmediate directions, imagine countless Thi­ gles of rainbow light in which hundreds of thou­ sands of myriads of Dakinis of the fou r families assemble like powde red specks amidst the sun­ rays. HRllj From the reddish blue letter HRllj at the heart, infinite light and rays sp read and activate the sa­ maya of the Wisdom Dakini. In this way imagine that she shines (mo re) b rightly with blessing en­ ergy. 93

oo �oo .;T?oo sfl?oo In the year of the Metal-Male-Dragon, on the eighteenth of September, 2000, while I was in a guest-house in Pharping, a village not far from Kathmandu, capital of Nepal, I had the following dream in the early morning. I was going to visit the self-originated figure of Arya Tara which is found in this village. On the way, a girl dressed like an Indian lady, maybe seventeen years old, approached me and gave me a

scroll of paper attached to the inside of a red

silk cover similar to the one that a girl had previ­ ously given to me once when I was staying (in the retreat house) above Tso Padma. I took the scroll in my hands and asked her a few questions about what it contained and so forth, but it seemed she did not know any Tibetan and did not reply. I went a little further and sat down upon a small

rock near a field. I opened the scroll, read it, and

The entire text was there. I read it once com­ pletely from the beginning to the end, and then I began to read it again from the beginning. When I

reached halfway through it, something woke me

up.

The day was dawning. As soon as I woke up I

clearly remembered my dream, searched for pen and

paper, and started to write.

ible and empty, like a rainbow in the sky. He is a Pawo, reddish blue, shining brightly, with one face, two arms, and a j oyful expression. His hair is half loose and half tied, ornamented with a vajra, jewels and a vulture feather. With the right hand, in the mudra of the Subjugator of the Uni­ verse (Nangsid Zilnon), he transfers the state of knowledge to fortunate students . With the left, he holds a kapala of nectar adorned with the long life vase. His body is perfectly attired with all the ornaments of a Heruka (including) j ewels and bones. With one leg stretched and the other bent in the half-crossed position, he sits on a seat made of lotus, sun and moon. From the HRII:I at the heart a reddish blue light spreads in all sacred places and pure dimen­ sions, activating the samaya of the Wisdom Da­ kini. Five-colored rays immediately return, and through them, in the space in front of us, inside a p avi li o n made of a five-colored Thigle which (represents) the Dang of sound, light and rays, the Tsal of the inseparability of oneself (as the deity and the deity visualized) in front manifests as a clear red BAM letter, just like a rainbow (ap­ pears).

BAM From the complete transformation of the letter BAM

(there manifests) the glorious Wisdom Da­

kini (who is) the Great Mother Samantabhadri as Dharmakaya, Guhyajfiana Tsal as Sambhogakaya, Gomadevi as Nirmanakaya and the Dakini Man­ darava as later Nirmanakaya. She is our root mas­ ter in (her very) essence, and appears in the form of a Wisdom Dakini (in the following way). With one face and two arms, she is white with a pinkish hue. She is j oyous and charming, in the full bloom of youth. Her hair is half loose and half tied, ornamented with j ewels and the sym­ bols of the five families. With her right hand she brandishes a curved knife in space to untie the fetters of grasping thoughts and (allow) wisdom to spread. With the left hand, in the meditation mudra, (she holds) a kapala in which the nectar of blessings, self-liberation of the perceived vision, is gathered. Her body is adorned with ornaments of jewels and bones and perfected with all the or­ naments of the queen of yoginis. As a symbol of the single taste of samsara and nirvana, she sits on a lotus and moon with the right leg stretched and the left bent.

In the vast expanse of the sky, in the main and intermediate directions, imagine countless Thi­ gles of rainbow light in which hundreds of thou­ sands of myriads of D akinis of the four families assemble like powdered specks amidst the sun­ rays. HR1I:I From the reddish blue letter HRI at the heart, infinite light and rays spread and activate the sa­ maya of the Wisdom Dakini. In this way imagine that she shines (more) brightly with blessing en­ ergy. This is the (invocation) for causing the descent of the great blessing of the Three Secrets of the Guru Wisdom

The dimension of the mantra recitation for vi­ sualization-contemplation: HRil:I BAM Light spreads from the HRII:l at the heart of Samantabhadra Padma Heruka that hits the BAM of the Wisdom Dakini, activating her samaya and increasing her experience of bliss. Instantly, just like the falling of a shooting star, she arrives in our lap and is united with us. All of the retinue of emanations as Pawos and Dakinis manifest in union while performing the movements of the Vajra Dance. At the heart of the Yabs, upon a moon seat, there is a reddish blue HRil:I on a Gakhyil. At the navel of the Yums, upon a sun seat, there is the red letter BAM in the center of a triangle. The mantra necklace, with the luminous red syllables facing outside, turns clockwise around the letter HRfi:I. Facing inside, they tum counter­ clockwise around the letter BAM. Through the spreading and reabsorbing of the light rays the power, the capacity, the blessing and the essence of all the Victorious Ones of all times and direc­ tions are gathered, imagining that the splendor of our potentiality is increasing.

The essential life-mantra of the Wisdom Da­ kini is :

OM HRfi:I BAM JNANA DHAKINI HARINISA A}:I HD¥ Recite it with the main point of visualization until the experiential signs manifest. The quintessential life-mantra of the Dakinis : HRfi:I BAM From the secret space of the Wisdom Dakini the mantra necklace comes out like a shooting star and enters the orifice of the vajra of the Yab . It turns clockwise around the seed-syllable HRfi:I and comes out from the tip of the vajra of the Yab. (Then) it enters the space of the Yum and turns counterclockwise around the BAM. Again, imag­ ine that (the necklace) turns without interruption faster (and faster) like a whirling firebrand while the (natural) sound of the mantra resounds viv­ idly, so that the wisdom of total bliss increases.

OM HRfi:I BAM IN ANA DHAKINI AI:I HU¥ Recite it with the main point of visualization until the signs manifest in actual experience.

The essential life-mantra that unifies all the states of knowledge: HRfi:I BAM The Yab melts completely through (the power of) bliss and suddenly disappears in the seed-syl­ lable HRfi:L (then) the HRfi:I together with the mantra necklace appears vividly at the heart of the Yum. The mantra necklace, like a whirling firebrand, turns clockwise around the HRfi:I and counterclockwise around the BAM . Through the rays that spread and reabsorb, imagine that all the blessings and powers of the Sugatas, Vidyadharas and Dakinis arrive in the form of rainbow light Thigles which dissolve in the Three Vajras.

OM HRfi:I BAM AI:I HD¥ By transcending (the recitation of) this essen­ tial five syllable mantra for visualization-con­ templation and finding oneself beyond concepts

in the authentic condition - the expanse of the inseparability of kayas and wisdom - one enters the dimension of the Vajra Mind. This is the quin­ tessence of all the yo gas of the Wisdom Dakini.

THE HISTORY In the year of the Wood-Male-Mouse [on the eighth of April, 1 9 84] , I was in Kathmandu, capi­ tal of Nepal. On that day I met many Tibetans from my native place, several of whom requested me insistently to give advice about what to do at the moment of death. Maybe due to that circum­ stance, the following night while I was sleep­ ing near the great Stupa of Enlightenment (in Boudha), in the early morning I had this dream. I was inside a big crystal cave with a wide entrance which I thought to be the special place where the master Garab Dorje had passe d into the Body of Light. In its innermost part, upon a

kind of throne similar to the lower part of the

vase of a stupa, about one fathom high, there was an amazing statue of Vajrasattva in human size.

The statue, including the throne, was transparent, as if it had been made of crystal. In front of it I was maintaining the state of unification of my mind with the Primordial State through the Gu­ ruyoga. Behind that amazing statue, on a smooth half-moon shaped mirror-like surface as if made of sapphire, I saw the root symbolic letter of The

Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakin is, as if written with molten gold, a cubit in size. Below it in elegant Tibetan Uchen characters, with two dots one on top of the other separating each syllable, and the Terma sign at the end of the line, I clearly saw the following (words) :

The Instructions o n the Moment ofPassing Away. The next line started with the symbolic letter similar to a Tibetan CA with a crescent moon or­ nament on top, followed by many lines without interruption. I thought, "This is a special upadesha transmitted by the supreme master Garab Dorje.

I must definitely understand all these words and meanings," and started to read it slowly :

OM Al:f HU:tyf

I pay homage to the primordial Lord Samantabhadra! The particular Bardos consist of the (Bardo) ofnature, the Bardo between birth and death, the Bardo of the moment ofdying, the Bardo ofDhar­ mata, and the famous Bardo of existence. The liberating instructions on the Bardo of self-perfected luminous clarity are related to the three periods of the Bardo of nature, the Bardo between birth and death, and the Bardo of the moment of dying. As to the Bardo of nature, the Bodhichitta which is the primordial essence abides in the heart as the inseparability ofessence, nature, and potentiality of energy. Discovering it properly at the time of the path through example, meaning, and sign, when the self-perfected luminous clarity appears, it must be authentically recognized as one s state.

The example of a clear, pure and limpid crys­ tal represents the primordially pure essence. The luminosity of the crystal (represents) the Dang of self-perfected nature. The white light of the crys­ tal represents the potentiality of energy. The meaning is that the essence-Bodhichitta, the condition of non duality between primordial purity and self-perfection, dwells in the mind­ stream of all beings as the primordially existing sound, light and rays. The sign is that by half-closing one s eyes and directing them toward the sunrays at sunrise or sunset, five-colored rays appear. This is known as the self-perfected luminous clarity. Or, the moment one directly presses one s fin­ gers on the ocean (the eyes), vision appears as a five-colored light and thus the self-perfected vi­ sion of Ying manifests. If during this life (the real nature) is authenti-

cally discovered by means of examples, meaning and signs, it is certain that in the Bardo ofDhar­ mata the self-perfected mother and son luminous clarities will meet.

While abiding in the Bardo between birth and death, (we should know) the daily vision to be unreal like a dream, and directly concentrate on the luminous clarity in the night. At all times we should sustain the continuity ofpresence and awareness. We should have devotion to the Master and re­ member the teachings, have a pure vision of our (Vajra) brothers and sisters and observe the sa­ mayas. We should mend the sacred bond with the Guardians and develop love and kindness for all beings. During the Bardo of the moment of dying, the experiences of the reabsorbing of the elements gradually manifest. At that time, we should main­ tain the state of instant presence of Guruyoga. Concerning the five (aspects of each) of the five outer, inner and secret elements, the air per­ vades all elements. First ofall, when the supporting air reabsorbs, wefeel our body heavy and we cannot hold it up. When the radiance-producing air of water reabsorbs, the radiance and luster of the body (complexion) is lost.

When the heat-spreading air offire reabsorbs, food is not digested and the bodily heat declin es

.

When the air of the moving breathing reab­ sorbs, inhaling and exhaling becomes uneasy. At that time, as an evident sign that the earth element has dissolved into water, externally one cannot hold the body up; as an inner sign, vision manifests as yellow. Then as an evident sign that the water element has dissolved intofire, externally onefeels thirsty, and the base of the tongue shortens (so that one cannot extend it); as an inner sign, vision mani­ fests as white. After this, as an evident sign that the fire ele­ ment has dissolved into air, externally the bodily heat is lost,· as an inner sign, vision manifests as red. Then as an evident sign that the air element has dissolved in the space element, externally one exhales long breathings without being able to in­ hale,· as an inner sign, vision manifests as blue.

At that time all the airs of the elements com­ pletely dissolve into the karmic prana, blood gushes forth from all channels resulting in the life channel being covered with blood. In that instant when the outer breathing stops, thoughts completely cease. A lthough the eyes seem to be piercingly staring, they do not see any­ thing, and remain in a condition of blankness. Though all perceptions of the jive sensory gates have ceased, the inner and secret breath­ ings have not stopped. When the smell of the de­ ceased manifests clearly, the inner breathing has stopped. When heat vanishes at the heart, at the spot between the eyebrows, or under the armpits, the secret breathing has stopped. When the outer breathing of(a practitioner) on the path has stopped and until the inner breath­ ing is reabsorbed inside, the experience ofpri­ mordial purity like a cloudless, pure sky arises.

Recognizing this to be the Bardo of the pri­ mordially pure Dharmakaya and relaxing in the non-grasping dimension of instant presence, one attains liberation in the primordially pure dimen­ sion of the Dharmakaya. When I reached this point, my host Tashi en­ tered my room with Sang burning, and thus I woke up. It was already some time after dawn. During breakfast I remembered clearly my dream and I immediately began to write down these notes. I was able to put on paper all the lines that I had read, probably because this is a teaching whose transmission had fallen on n1e. However, since I did not have the time to read more than one fourth of the text on the crystal surface, I knew for cer­ tain that still many other lines remained. But I couldn't do anything about it.

In the year of the Metal-Male-Dragon [on the twenty-first of April, 2000] , I was in Namgyalgar, main seat of the Dzogchen Community of Ocea­ nia, giving teachings on the Ati Dzogpa Chenpo to many local and foreign students who had as­ sembled there. At that time, my student David Sharp had for a long time been struck by a fatal illness which would inevitably cause him to die a short time thereafter. Therefore, he insistently requested to me to give him some special advice. Accordingly, I gave him some advice and because

of that, the following night in the early morning, I had this dream. In a forest, in an unspecified location, my kind uncle Khyentse Rinpoche Chokyi Wangchuk, ap­ pearing exactly as I knew him, was sitting under the shade of one of many big trees which were scattered in that place. I was in front of him, and he was asking me many questions about our Dzogchen Community, to all of which I replied in

detail. On that occasion I clearly told him that Da­ vid Sharp would soon die and that he had asked me for special advice. Uncle Rinpoche said, "Now the time has come for you to teach The Bardo Instructions sealed

with the HUM from the Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakinis, whose transmission has fallen upon you." "Until now I have never received any trans­ mission called The Bardo Instructions sealed

with the HUM', I said. "The small temple near that rock over there is a sacred support of the guardian Dorj e Yiidron­ ma. Go there right now and request her action," thus Uncle Rinpoche advised me. Accordingly, I immediately went inside the building which was a support of Dorj e Yiidron­ ma. On the wall of the innermost part of that temple there was a human sized, seemingly self­

originated, statue of Dorje Ytidronma. Nothing else was there. I sat down in front of the image

I pay homage to the primordial Lord Samantabhadra! The particular Bardos consist of the (Bardo) ofnature, the Bardo between birth and death, the Bardo ofthe moment ofdying, the Bardo ofDhar­ mata, and the famous Bardo of existence. The liberating instructions on the Bardo of self-perfected luminous clarity are related to the three periods of the Bardo of nature, the Bardo between birth and death, and the Bardo of the moment of dying. As to the Bardo of nature, the Bodhichitta which is the primordial essence abides in the

heart as the inseparability of essence, nature, and potentiality of energy. Discovering it properly at the time of the path through example, meaning, and sign, when the self-perfected luminous clarity appears, it must be authentically recognized as one s state. The example of a clear, pure and limpid crys­ tal represents the primordially pure essence. The luminosity of the crystal (represents) the Dang of self-perfected nature. The white light of the crys­ tal represents the potentiality of energy. The meaning is that the essence-Bodhichitta, the condition of non duality between primordial purity and self-perfection, dwells in the mind­ stream of all beings as the primordially existing sound, light and rays. The sign is that by half-closing one s eyes and directing them toward the sunrays at sunrise or sunset, five-colored rays appear. This is known as the self-perfected luminous clarity. Or, the moment one directly presses one s fin­

gers on the ocean (the eyes), vision appears as a five-colored light and thus the self-perfected vi­ sion of Ying manifests.

If during this life (the real nature) is authenti­ cally discovered by means of examples, meaning and signs, it is certain that in the Bardo ofDhar­ mata the self-perfected mother and son luminous clarities will meet. While abiding in the Bardo between birth and death, (we should know) the daily vision to be unreal like a dream, and directly concentrate on the luminous clarity in the night. A t all times we should sustain the continuity ofpresence and awareness. We should have devotion to the Master and re­ member the teachings, have a pure vision of our (Vajra) brothers and sisters and observe the sa­ mayas. We should mend the sacred bond with the Guardians and develop love and kindness for all beings. During the Bardo of the moment of dying, the experiences of the reabsorbing of the elements gradually manifest. At that time, we should main­ tain the state of instant presence of Guruyoga. Concerning the five (aspects of each) of the five outer, inner and secret elements, the air per­ vades all elements.

First ofall, when the supporting air reabsorbs, we feel our body heavy and we cannot hold it up. When the radiance-producing air of water reabsorbs, the radiance and luster of the body (complexion) is lost. When the heat-spreading air offire reabsorbs, food is not digested and the bodily heat declines. When the air of the moving breathing reab­ sorbs, inhaling and exhaling becomes uneasy. At that time, as an evident sign that the earth element has dissolved into water, externally one cannot hold the body up; as an inner sign, vision manifests as yellow. Then as an evident sign that the water element has dissolved intofire, externally one feels thirsty,

and the base of the tongue shortens (so that one cannot extend it),· as an inner sign, vision mani­ fests as white. After this, as an evident sign that the fire ele­ ment has dissolved into air, externally the bodily heat is lost; as an inner sign, vision manifests as red.

Then as an evident sign that the air element has dissolved in the space element, externally one exhales long breathings without being able to in­ hale; as an inner sign, vision manifests as blue. At that time all the airs of the elements com­ pletely dissolve into the karn'zic prana, blood gushesforth from all channels resulting in the life channel being covered with blood. In that instant when the outer breathing stops, thoughts completely cease. A lthough the eyes seem to be piercingly staring, they do not see any­ thing, and remain in a condition of blankness. Though all perceptions of the five sensory gates have ceased, the inner and secret breath­ ings have not stopped. When the smell of the de­ ceased manifests clearly, the inner breathing has stopped. When heat vanishes at the heart, at the spot between the eyebrows, or under the armpits, the secret breathing has stopped

When the outer breathing of(apractitioner) on the path has stopped and until the inner breath­ ing is reabsorbed inside, the experience of pri­ mordial purity like a cloudless, pure sky arises. Recognizing this to be the Bardo of the pri­ mordially pure Dharmakaya and relaxing in the non-grasping dimension of instant presence, one attains liberation in the primordially pure dimen­ sion of the Dharmakaya. When consciousness departs from the heart through the Kati (channel) and the path of the Far-Reaching (Water Lamp), and moving on the horse of prana separates from the enclosure of the body, the practitioner transfers with knowl­ edge of the state of the three Kayas according to whatever essential method of the path. The Dharmakaya endowed with the essence of instant presence, together with the Dang of the jive lights, passing through the path of the Kati Crystal Channel comes out from the ocean (the

eyes) into the Ying.

The time when the mind and instant presence completely separate (from each other) and thefive

consciousnesses ofthefive sensory gates (subside and) remain dormant in (the essence of) the five elements is crucialfor the yogin. When I reached this point, something woke me up. The day had dawned. Since in the mo­ ment that I woke up the letters were still appear­ ing, I remembered very clearly my dream. I was certain that this teaching had appeared because of its necessity, and although I knew how it be­ gan and the fact that it was not yet completed, I remained without knowing what to do. As all the verses that I had read were still clear in my mind, I immediately wrote them down; and since there was a special necessity, I taught all the verses of instructions to David Sharp alone and explained well their meaning.

In the year of the Metal-Female-Snake [on the fourth of May, 2001] , while I was in Oakland, near San Francisco, California, in the western part of the United States of America, giving teachings in a hall called Mason House on the preliminary and main practices of the path of Dzogpa Chenpo to many local and foreign students who had assem­ bled there, I had this dream in the early morning. I was inside the hall together with my local students. I had just finished teaching and I was satisfying the requests of the people, one after the other. At a certain point an elegant elderly woman came to me. She gave me a big long sky-blue cer­ emonial scarf of superior quality and a (Tibetan style) book with colored wood cover plates con­ taining several sheets and told me, "Recently I

went to Tibet, and in the ancient ruins of the Sha Lhakhang (temple) I found this book. Under­ standing that it must be a very important book, I have come today to present it to you." I took the scarf and the book in my hands and put another scarf around her neck. I told her, "Thank you ! I will read the book at my leisure." Then the woman went away and another per­ son came right after. At a certain point when I had finished replying to all of them and was about to leave, I folded well that blue scarf and noticed that upon it, as a design of the scarf itself, the symbolic letter similar to (a Tibetan) CA, as if written with vermillion, was clearly visible. In that moment I finally understood that the woman was a Pramoha. I looked well in every direction to see where she was, but I could not find her.

Then I got into the car of my student Carol Fields, and while I was returning to my place, I thought, "The book that the Pramoha brought me must certainly be very important. I want to see what it contains." Right away I untied the cord of the cover and looked. On each of the sky blue pages, made with a paper as thick as the skin at the cen­ ter of the back of a yak, there was the symbolic letter of The Luminous Clarity of the Universe,

Heart Essence of the Dakinis similar to a (Tibet­ an) CA with a crescent moon ornament on top. It was followed by very elegant Tibetan Uchen characters with two dots one on top of the other separating each syllable and the Terma sign at the end of the line : �

�� � From The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Hearl Essence of the Dakin is Herein is Contained

THE BARDO INSTR UCTIONS SEALED WITH THE HUM HU¥ OMAijHOJr!

I pay homage to the primordial Lord Samantabhadra!

The particular Bardos consist of the (Bardo) ofnature, the Bardo between birth and death, the Bardo of the moment ofdying, the Bardo ofDhar­ mata, and the famous Bardo of existence. The liberating instructions on the Bardo of self-perfected luminous clarity are related to the three periods of the Bardo of nature, the Bardo between birth and death, and the Bardo of the moment of dying. As to the Bardo of nature, the Bodhichitta which is the primordial essence abides in the heart as the inseparability ofessence, nature, and potentiality of energy. Discovering it properly at the time of the path through example, meaning, and sign, when the self-perfected luminous clarity appears, it must be authentically recognized as one s state. The example of a clear, pure and limpid crys­ tal represents the primordially pure essence. The luminosity of the crystal (represents) the Dang of self-perfected nature. The white light of the crys­ tal represents the potentiality of energy.

The meaning is that the essence-Bodhichitta, the condition of non duality between primordial purity and self-perfection, dwells in the mind­ stream of all beings as the primordially existing sound, light and rays. The sign is that by half-closing one s eyes and directing them toward the sunrays at sunrise or sunset, five-colored rays appear. This is known as the self-perfected luminous clarity. Or, the moment one directly presses one s fin­ gers on the ocean (the eyes), vision appears as a five-colored light and thus the self-perfected vi­ sion of Ying manifests. If during this life (the real nature) is authenti­ cally discovered by means of examples, meaning and signs, it is certain that in the Bardo ofDhar­ mata the self-perfected mother and son luminous clarities will meet. While abiding in the Bardo between birth

and death (we should know) the daily vision to ,

be unreal like a dream, and directly concentrate on the luminous clarity in the night. A t all times we should sustain the continuity ofpresence and awareness.

We should have devotion to the Master and re­ member the teachings, have a pure vision of our (Vajra) brothers and sisters and observe the sa­ mayas. We should mend the sacred bond with the Guardians and develop love and kindness for all beings. During the Bardo of the moment of dying, the experiences of the reabsorbing of the elements gradually manifest. At that time, we should main­ tain the state of instant presence of Guruyoga. Concerning the five (aspects of each) of the five outer, inner and secret elements, the air per­ vades all elements. First ofall, when the supporting air reabsorbs, we feel our body heavy and we cannot hold it up. When the radiance-producing air of water reabsorbs, the radiance and luster of the body (complexion) is lost. When the heat-spreading air offire reabsorbs, food is not digested and the bodily heat declines. When the air of the moving breathing reab­ sorbs, inhaling and exhaling becomes uneasy. At that time, as an evident sign that the earth element has dissolved into water, externally one cannot hold the body up; as an inner sign, vision manifests as yellow.

Then as an evident sign that the water element has dissolved into fire, externally onefeels thirsty, and the base of the tongue shortens (so that one cannot extend it); as an inner sign, vision mani­ fests as white. After this, as an evident sign that the fire ele­ ment has dissolved into air, externally the bodily heat is lost,· as an inner sign, vision manifests as red. Then as an evident sign that the air element has dissolved in the space element, externally one exhales long breathings without being able to in­ hale,· as an inner sign, vision manifests as blue. At that time all the airs of the elements com­ pletely dissolve into the karmic prana, blood gushes forth from all channels resulting in the life channel being covered with blood. In that instant when the outer breathing stops, thoughts completely cease. Although the eyes seem to be piercingly staring) they do not see any­ thing) and remain in a condition of blankness.

Though all perceptions of the five sensory gates have ceased, the inner and secret breath­ ings have not stopped. When the smell of the de­ ceased manifests clearly, the inner breathing has stopped. When heat vanishes at the heart, at the spot between the eyebrows, or under the armpits, the secret breathing has stopped. When the outer breathing of(a practitioner) on the path has stopped and until the inner breath­ ing is reabsorbed inside, the experience of pri­ mordial purity like a cloudless, pure sky arises. Recognizing this to be the Bardo of the pri­ mordially pure Dharmakaya and relaxing in the non-grasping dimension of instant presence, one attains liberation in the primordially pure dimen­ sion of the Dharmakaya. When consciousness departs from the heart through the Kati (channel) and the path of the Far-Reaching (Water Lamp), it moves on the

horse ofprana and separates from the enclosure of the materially defiled body.

In that moment any yogin, male or female, having real knowledge of the essence of the path, transfers with knowledge of the state of the three Kayas according to whatever essential upade­ sha. The Dharmakaya endowed with the essence of instant presence, together with the Dang of the five lights, passing through the path of the Kati Crystal Channel comes out from the ocean (the eyes) into the Ying. The time when the mind and instant presence completely separate (from each other) and thejive consciousnesses ofthefive sensory gates (subside and) remain dormant in (the essence of) the five elements is crucial for the yogin. At this time, just like a beautiful girl seeing precisely herself the very moment she looks into a

mirror, one must recognize (the real condition) through example, meaning and sign. The example is like lighting a lamp inside a

vase of clay. As to its meaning, the vase symbol­ izes the body, the lamp symbolizes the heart. The light of the lamp symbolizes the Dang of inner­ most luminosity of self-originated instant pres­ ence.

Just as when the vase breaks the light of the lamp shines outside and the darkness disappears, when the enclosure of the body breaks and the Bardo of Dharmata arises, the Dang ofprimor­ dial sound, light and rays supremely manifests as the light ofself-perfected wisdom. At that time, for those who have experience and knowledge, the manifestation of sound, light and rays in one s vision arises as infinite peace­ ful and wrathful forms. By recognizing them as one s state, one attains liberation in the Samb­ hogakaya. Otherwise, we are terrified by the radiance of the five lights of wisdom (appearing) as the bril­ liance ofsubtle and distinctly appearing massive spear heads aimed at oneself, and as the unbear­ able sounds of "Strike! Kill! " At that time, by recognizing all visions and sounds as the natura/ light and sound ofDharma­ fa, without any doubt one self-liberates in one s own condition.

As to the sign, by directing one s instant pres­ ence on the eyes and the eyes on the vision of light, when the Manifest Dharmata appears, one recognizes the meeting of the mother and son wisdoms. At this point, her car collided with another car and stopped abruptly. Because of this, I woke up as the day was dawning. What had really hap­ pened that made me wake up is that two cars on the street below the house had been about to col­ lide and the sound of the brakes in their abrupt stop had reached my ears. In fact after I woke up, I saw some people still talking to each other. During breakfast I remembered clearly my dream and immediately searched for paper and pen and wrote down these notes. Although I felt quite sor­ ry

for not having had the possibility to read the

whole text, I was also happy that I could write down properly all that I had read and single-heart­ edly prayed to the Gurus and Dakinis to grant me

again the possibility to read the continuation of this text.

In the year of the Metal-Female-Snake [on the ninth of May, 200 1 ] , while I was in Seattle, Wash­ ington, in the western part of the United States of America, giving an introduction to the three gates and three paths of liberation to an audience at the University of Washington, I had this dream in the early morning. I was alone in an unspecified place, practicing Namkha Arted

in the midst of a very thick forest.

At a certain moment I saw three men coming to­ ward me. Their hair tied in a topknot, they were dressed in white cotton and held sticks just like Indian Sadhus. When they arrived in front of me, they all joined their palms at the heart and said, "N a­ maste ! " I understood they were Indians and s o I also

joined

my

palms at the heart and replied, "Na­

maste ! " Then they sat at ease near me, and the oldest o f them said i n perfect Tibetan, "We heard that you

' ' In that moment, o n a small rock of white stone at my right, I saw that book on the Bardo, includ­ ing the wood cover plates and the string for bind­ ing it, that I had received while I was in Oakland. I thought, "Although these three men look Indian, they must actually be emanations of the Pramo­ has that are exhorting me to spread this special teaching." "So be it!

[ROOT TEXT]

���From The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, �

Heart Essence of the D akinis

Herein is Contained THE BARDO INSTRUCTIONS SEALED WITH THE HUM

HU1y1 O M AI:I HU1y1 I pay homage to the primordial Lord Sa­ mantabhadra! The particular Bardos consist of the (Bardo) of nature, the Bardo between birth and death, the Bardo of the moment of dying, the Bardo of Dharmata, and the famous Bardo of existence. The liberating instructions on the Bardo of self-perfected luminous clarity are related to the three periods of the Bardo of nature, the Bardo between birth and death, and the Bardo of the m oment of dying.

As to the Bardo of nature, the Bodhichitta which is the primordial essence abides in the heart as the inseparability of essence, nature, and potentiality of energy.

Discovering it properly at the time of the path through example, meaning, and sign, when the self-perfected luminous clarity appears, it must be authentically recognized as one's state. The example of a clear, pure and limpid crys­ tal represents the primordially pure essence. The luminosity of the crystal (represents) the Dang of self-perfected nature. The white light of the crys­ tal represents the potentiality of energy. The meaning is that the essence-Bodhichitta, the condition of non duality between primordial purity and self-perfection, dwells in the mind­ stream of all beings as the primordially existing sound, light and rays. The sign is that by half-closing one's eyes and directing them toward the sunrays at sunrise or sunset, five-colored rays appear. This is known as the self-perfected luminous clarity. Or, the moment one directly presses one 's fin­ gers on the ocean (the eyes), vision appears as a five-colored light and thus the self-perfected vi­ sion of Ying manifests.

If during this life (the real nature) is authenti­ cally discovered by means of examples, meaning and signs, it is certain that in the Bardo of Dhar­ mata the self-perfected mother and son luminous clarities will meet. While abiding in the Bardo between birth and death, (we should know) the daily vision to be unreal like a dream, and directly concentrate on the luminous clarity in the night. At all times we should sustain the continuity of presence and awareness. We should have devotion to the Master and remember the teachings, have a pure vision of our (Vajra) brothers and sisters and observe the samayas. We should mend the sacred bond with the Guardians and develop love and kindness for all beings. During the B ardo of the moment of dying, the experiences of the reabsorbing of the elements gradually manifest. At that time, we should main­ tain the state of instant presence of Guruyoga. Concerning the five (aspects of each) of the five outer, inner and secret elements, the air per­ vades all elements.

First of all, when the supporting air reabsorbs, we feel our body heavy and we cannot hold it up. When the radiance-producing air of water re­ absorbs, the radiance and luster of the body (com­ plexion) is lost. When the heat-spreading air of fire reabsorbs, food is not digested and the bodily heat declines. When the air of the moving breathing reab­ sorbs, inhaling and exhaling becomes uneasy. At that time, as an evident sign that the earth element has dissolved into water, externally one cannot hold the body up; as an inner sign, vision manifests as yellow. Then as an evident sign that the water ele­ ment has dissolved into fire, externally one feels thirsty, and the base of the tongue shortens (so that one cannot extend it) ; as an inner sign, vision manifests as white. After this, as an evident sign that the fire ele­

ment has dissolved into air, externally the bodily heat is lost; as an inner sign, vision manifests as red.

Then as an evident sign that the air element has dissolved in the space element, externally one exhales long breathings without being able to in­ hale; as an inner sign, vision manifests as blue. At that time all the airs of the elements com­ pletely dissolve into the karmic prana, blood gushes forth from all channels resulting in the life channel being covered with blood. In that instant when the outer breathing stops, thoughts completely cease. Although the eyes seem to be piercingly staring, they do not see any­ thing, and remain in a condition of blankness. Though all perceptions of the five sensory gates have ceased, the inner and secret breath­ ings have not stopped. When the smell of the de­ ceased manifests clearly, the inner breathing has stopped. When heat vanishes at the heart, at the spot between the eyebrows, or under the armpits, the secret breathing has stopped.

When the outer breathing of (a p ractitioner) on the path has stopped and until the inner breathing is reabsorbed inside, the experience of primordial purity like a cloudless, pure sky arises. Recognizing this to be the Bardo of the pri­ mordially pure Dharmakaya and relaxing in the non-grasping dimension of instant presence, one attains liberation in the primordially pure dimen­ sion of the Dharmakaya. When consciousness departs from the heart through the Kati (channel) and the path of the Far-Reaching (Water Lamp), it moves on the horse of prana and separates from the enclosure of the materially defiled body. In that moment any yogin, male or female, having real knowledge of the essence of the path, transfers with knowledge of the state of the three Kayas according to whatever essential upadesha. The Dharmakaya endowed with the essence of instant presence, together with the Dang of the

five lights, passing through the path of the Kati Crystal Channel comes out from the ocean (the eyes) into the Ying.

The time when the mind and instant presence completely separate (from each other) and the five consciousnesses of the five sensory gates (subside and) remain dormant in (the essence of) the five elements is crucial for the yogin. At this time, just like a beautiful girl seeing precisely herself the very moment she looks into a mirror, one must recognize (the real condition) through example, meaning and sign. The example is like lighting a lamp inside a vase of clay. As to its meaning, the vase symbol­ izes the body, the lamp symbolizes the heart. The light of the lamp symbolizes the Dang of inner­ most luminosity of self-originated instant pres­ ence. Just as when the vase breaks the light of the lamp shines outside and the darkness disappears, when the enclosure of the body breaks and the Bardo of Dharmata arises, the Dang of primordial sound, light and rays supremely manifests as the

light of self-perfected wisdom.

At that time, for those who have experience and knowledge, the

manifestation of sound, light

and rays in one 's vision arises as infinite peace­ ful and wrathful forms. By recognizing them as one 's state, one attains liberation in the Samb­ hogakaya. Otherwise, we are terrified by the radiance of the five lights of wisdom (appearing) as the bril­ liance of subtle and distinctly appearing massive spear heads aimed at oneself, and as the unbear­ able sounds of "Strike! Kill ! " At that time, by recognizing all visions and sounds as the natural light and sound of Dharma­ ta, without any doubt one self-liberates in one 's own condition. As to the sign, by directing one's instant pres­ ence on the eyes and the eyes on the vision of light, when the Manifest Dharmata appears, one recognizes the meeting of the mother and son wisdoms.

As to the way in which (the practitioner) on the path attains liberation in the B ardo of self­ perfected luminous clarity, one must directly dis­ cover one 's real condition by means of example, meaning and sign. As a means of introducing through example, (the practitioner) on the path should hang a piece of five-colored silk in front of oneself, such as on a tree, and gaze at it through a crystal. As to its meaning, due to secondary causes for its appearance, the inner Ying, like five-colored streamers extended in the space of the sky, mani­ fests clearly through the path of the Far Reaching (Water Lamp). As to its sign, one can be assured of this be­ cause of the countless qualities of natural self­ perfection appearing concretely as Tsal vision in front of our senses . When one 's natural blue light shines more strongly, that is the wisdom of the Dharmadhatu of instant presence and emptiness, the state of glorious Vajrasattva, and one attains true enlight­ enment in the Naturally Perfected Dimension.

In the same way, one 's natural white, yellow, red, (and green) lights are the Mirror-(Like), Equality, Discriminating and All-accomplishing (wisdoms) of instant presence and emptiness, and thus the forms and dimensions of the four fami­ lies are perfected. SAMAYA GYA GYA GYA

Thus is Concluded The Bardo Instructions Sealed with the HUM From The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakinis.

As soon as I finished reading, the three mer looking like Indian sadhus became three girls. recognized they were the Three Vajranis that had already met before in one of my dreams. I asked them in Tibetan, "Do you live in thi! area?" In a Tibetan accent similar to mine, one of them replied, "No, we don't. We don't have

c

fixed abode. Anyway, today we came to mee1 you." "Do you know what this place is," I asked again. Another girl replied also in Tibetan, "Of course

Inside that crystal cave ove: there is a special statue of the Primordial Lore which is a supreme support for the Galawar· Thalwa dimension." Again I asked the three of them, "What is th1 reason why you (usually) come to this p lace t< visit the statue of the Primordial Lord on the day; of the Gyal (Pusya) constellation?" The other girl replied in Tibetan, "The Galawar Thalwa dimension belongs to the Gyal constella tion, therefore it is our custom to come to visit tht special statue on those days ."

"If we go now, will it be possible to see that special statue of the Primordial Lord?" again I asked. One of them replied, "At any time one may go. It is always possible ! " "If that i s s o , let u s g o now ! " I said. We left that place and started to climb up slow­ ly, when at a certain moment we arrived in front of a very high and maj estic crystal rock, shining with rainbow light just like mother of pearl. Be­ low it there was a statue, as if made of sapphire, with the hands in the meditation gesture and the feet in the lotus position. It was very high and maj estic, the same size as the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni that is found on the way to the sa­ cred mountain Langchen Gyin Ri (Oh Min Shan) in China. As soon as we arrived there, we sat down in front of the statue. I unified my mind with the Pri­ mordial State through the Guruyoga of the White A and then sang the Song ofVajra. The three girls

also j oined me into singing the Song of Vajra in unison with a very melodious voice. When we had reached more than half of it, something woke me up. Since at the moment I woke up I was still sing­ ing the Song of Vajra, I remembered very clearly my dream. Right away I got up and started to write down my notes. Thus I was able to write down without any omission or addition all the verses of this special and essential upadesha. As in the very same moment that I finished writing these notes the morning sun was rising, I thought this to be a very auspicious coincidence of time and place. Wonderful! 00
