here is contained self-liberation through scene with naked awareness this
being a direct introduction to the state of intrinsic awareness from the profound
teaching of self-liberation in the primordial state of the peaceful and
wrathful deities [Music]
homage to the true kaya and to the deities who represent the inherent
luminous clarity of intrinsic awareness [Music]
herein I shall teach self liberation through seeing with naked awareness
which is a direct introduction to intrinsic awareness from the profound
teaching of self-liberation in the primordial state of the peaceful and
wrathful deities truly this introduction
to your own intrinsic awareness should be contemplated well of fortunate ones
of noble family
samaya
[Music]
you
a Mahal it is the single nature of mind which
encompasses all of samsara and Nirvana
even though it's inherent nature has existed from the very beginning you have
not recognized it even though it's
clarity in presence has been uninterrupted you have not yet
encountered its face even though it's
arising has nowhere being obstructed still you have not comprehended it
therefore this direct introduction is
for the purpose of bringing you to self recognition everything that is expounded
by the victorious ones of the three times in the 84,000 gateways to the
Dharma is incomprehensible unless you
understand intrinsic awareness indeed
the victorious ones do not teach anything other than the understanding of
this even though there exists unlimited
numbers of scriptures equal in their extent to the sky yet with respect to
the real meaning there are three statements that will introduce you to
your own intrinsic awareness
this introduction to the manifest primordial state of the victorious one
is disclosed by the following method for
entering into the practice where there exists no antecedent nor subsequent
practices
[Music]
you
[Music] fortunate ones listen
even though that which is usually called mind is widely esteemed and much
discussed still it is not understood or
it is wrongly understood or it is
understood in a one-sided manner only
since it is not understood correctly just as it is in itself there come into
existence inconceivable numbers of philosophical ideas and assertions
furthermore since ordinary individuals do not
understand it they do not recognize
their own nature and so they continue to
wander among the six destinies of rebirth within the three worlds and thus
experience suffering therefore not
understanding your own mind is a very grievous fault
even though the shravakas and the projector borders wish to understand it
in terms of the anatman doctrine still they do not understand it as it is in
itself also there exist others who being
attached to their own personal ideas and interpretations become fettered by these
attachments and so do not perceive the
clear light
the shravakas and the Pacheco borders are mentaly obscured by their
attachments the subject and object
the majolica a mentally obscured by their attachments to the extremes of the
two truths
the practitioners of the Kriya Tantra and the yoga Tantra the mentally
obscured by their attachments to share a sudden a'practice the practitioners of
the Maha yoga and the ANA yoga are
mentaly obscured by their attachments to space and awareness and with respect to
the real meaning of non-duality since they divide these space and awareness
into two they fall into deviation
if these two do not become one without any Jew allottee you will certainly not
attain buddhahood
in terms of your own mind as is the case with everyone samsara and Nirvana are
inseparable
nonetheless because you persist in accepting and enduring attachments and
versions you will continue to wander in
samsara
therefore your active Damas and your
inactive ones both should be abandoned
[Music] however since self-liberation through
seeing naked ly by means of intrinsic awareness is here revealed to you you
should understand that all Dharma's can be perfected and completed in the great
total self liberation and therefore
whatever practice you do can be brought to perfection within the great
perfection [Music]
[Music]
[Music]
as for this sparkling awareness which is
called mind even though one says that it
exists it does not actually exist on the
other hand as a source it is the origin
of the diversity of all the Bliss of Nirvana and all of the sorrow of samsara
and as for its being something desirable it is cherished alike in the eleven
vehicles
with respect to its having a name the various names that are applied to it
inconceivable in their numbers
some call it the nature of mind or mind itself some tirthikas call it by the
name at none or herself the shravakas
call it the doctrine of a nut man or the
absence of a self [Music]
the cheetah matrons called by the name cheetah or the mind some call it the
progeny parameter or the perfection of wisdom some call it the name to targeted
Garber or the embryo of Buddhahood
some call it by the name Mahamudra or the great symbol
some call it by the name the unique sphere some call it by the name and
amadhatter or the dimension of reality
some call it by the name a liar or the
basis of everything and some simply call
it by the name ordinary awareness
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
now when you are introduced to your own intrinsic awareness the method for
entering into it involves three considerations thoughts in the past are
clear and empty and leave no traces behind thoughts in the future are fresh
and unconditioned by anything
and in the present moment when your mind
remains in its own condition without constructing anything awareness at that
moment in itself is quite ordinary
and when you look into yourself in this way naked ly without any discursive
thoughts since there is only this pure
observing there will be found a lucid
clarity without anyone being there who
is the observer only a naked manifest
awareness is present
this awareness is empty and immaculately
pure not being created by anything
whatsoever it is authentic and
unadulterated without any duality of
clarity and emptiness
it is not permanent and yet it is not
created by anything
[Music]
however it is not a mere nothingness or
something annihilated because it is lucid and present
it does not exist as a single entity because it is present and clear in terms
of being many
on the other hand it is not created as a
multiplicity of things because it is
inseparable and of a single flavor
this inherent self-awareness does not
derive from anything outside itself
this is the real introduction to the actual condition of things
you [Music]
[Music]
[Music]
within this intrinsic awareness the
Jakaya are inseparable and fully present as one
since it is empty and not created anywhere whatsoever you use the
Dharmakaya [Music]
since its luminous clarity represents the inherent transparent radiance of
emptiness it is the sambhogakaya
since its arising is nowhere obstructed or interrupted it is the nirmanakaya
[Music]
these three being complete and fully
present as one are its very essence [Music]
you [Music]
[Music]
you
[Music]
when you are introduced in this way through this exceedingly powerful method
for entering into the practice you
discover directly that your own immediate self-awareness is just this
and nothing else and that it has an
inherent self clarity which is entirely unfair brocaded
how can you then speak of not understanding the nature of the mind
[Music] moreover since you are meditating
without finding anything there to meditate upon how can you say that your
meditation does not go well
since your own manifest intrinsic awareness is just this how can you say
that you cannot find your own mind
in the mind is just that which is thinking
and yet although you have searched for the thinker how can you say that you do not
find them
with respect to this nowhere does there
exist the one who is the cause of mental activity
[Music]
and yet since activity exists how can
you say that such activity does not arise since merely allowing thoughts to
settle into their own condition without trying to modify them in any way is
sufficient how can you say that you're
not able to remain in a calm State [Music]
since allowing thoughts to be just as they are without trying to do anything
about them is sufficient how can you say
that you are not able to do anything with regard to them since clarity
awareness and emptiness are inseparable
and are spontaneously self perfected how
can you say that nothing is accomplished by your practice
practice
[Music]
since intrinsic awareness itself originated and spontaneously self
perfected without any antecedent causes or conditions how can you say that
you're not able to accomplish anything by your efforts [Music]
since the arising of discursive thoughts and their being liberated occur
simultaneously how can you say that you
are unable to apply an antidote
since your own immediate awareness is just this how can you say that you do
not know anything with regard to it
[Music]
[Music]
you
it is certain that the nature of the mind is empty and without any foundation
whatsoever your own mind is
insubstantial like the empty sky you
should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not
being without any view that decisively decides that it is empty it is certain
that self originated primal awareness has been clear and luminous from the
very beginning like the heart of the Sun
which is itself self originated
you should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not
[Music]
it is certain that this primal awareness on gnosis which is one's intrinsic
awareness is unceasing
like the main channel of a river that flows unceasingly
[Music] you should look at your own mind to see
whether it is like that or not
it is certain that the diversity of movements arising in the mind are not
apprehend able by memories they alike
insubstantial breezes that move through the atmosphere
you should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not it is
certain that whatever appearances occur all of them are self manifested like the
images in a mirror being self manifestations that simply appear
[Music] you should look at your own mind to see
whether it is like that or not
it is certain that all of the diverse characteristics of things are liberated
into their own condition
like clouds in the atmosphere that ourself originated and self liberated
you should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not
[Music]
[Music]
[Music] there exists no phenomena other than
what arises from the mind
other than the meditation that occurs where is the one who was meditating
there exists no phenomena other than what arises from the mind other than the
behavior that occurs where is the one who is behaving there exists no
phenomena other than what arises from the mind
other than the semi eval that occurs where is the one who is guarding it
there exists no phenomena other than what arises from the mind
other than the fruition that occurs where is the one who is realizing the
fruit you should look at your own mind
observing it again and again [Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
when you look upward into the space of the sky outside yourself if there are no
thoughts occurring that our emanations being projected and when you look inward
at your own mind inside yourself if
there exists no projectionists do projects thoughts by thinking them then
your own subtle mind will become lucidly clear without anything being projected
since the clear light of your own intrinsic awareness is empty it is the
Dharmakaya
and this is like the Sun rising in a cloudless illuminated sky even though
this light cannot be said to possess a particular shape or form
nevertheless it can be fully known the
meaning of this whether or not is understood is especially significant
[Music]
[Music]
you
[Music]
this self originated clear light which
from the very beginning was in no way produced by something antecedent to it
he is the child of awareness and yet it
is itself without any parents amazing
this self originated primordial awareness is not being created by
anything amazing
it does not experience birth nor does
there exist cause for its death amazing
although it is evidently visible yet
there is no one there who sees it amazing
[Music] although it is wandered throughout
samsara it has come to no harm
amazing
even though it has seen Buddhahood itself it has not come to any benefit
from this amazing
even though it exists in everyone everywhere yet it has gone unrecognized
[Music] amazing nevertheless you hope to attain
some other fruit than this elsewhere
amazing
even though it exists within yourself and nowhere else yet you seek for it
elsewhere amazing
[Music]
you
you [Music]
how wonderful this immediate intrinsic
awareness is in substantial and lucidly
clear just this is the highest pinnacle
among all views it is all-encompassing
free of everything and without any conceptions whatsoever just this is the
highest pinnacle among all meditations
it is unfair brocaded and inexpressible
in worldly terms
justice is the highest pinnacle among all courses of conduct
without being sought after it is spontaneously self perfected from the
very beginning just this is the highest
pinnacle among all fruits
[Music]
[Music] here is the teaching of the four great
vehicles that are without error first there is
the great vehicle of the unmistakable
since its immediate awareness is lucidly clear and this lucid clarity is without
error or mistake it is called a vehicle
second there is a great vehicle of the unmistakable
since its immediate awareness is that which possesses clarity and this lucid
clarity is without error or mistake it
is called a vehicle [Music]
third there is a great vehicle of the
[Music] since this immediate primal awareness is
that which possesses clarity and this
lucid clarity is without error or mistake it is called a vehicle fourth
there is the great vehicle of the unmistakable awareness is lucidly clear
and this lucid clarity is without error or mistake it is called a vehicle
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
here is the teaching on the four great unchanging essential points called nails
first there is the great nail of the unchanging view this immediate present
awareness is lucidly clear because it is
stable in the three times it is called a nail
second there is the great nail of the unchanging meditation this immediate
present awareness is lucidly clear
because it is stable in the three times it is called a nail third there is the
great nail of the unchanging conduct
this immediate present awareness is lucidly clear because it is stable in
the three times it is called a nail
force there is the great nail of the unchanging fruit
[Music] this immediate present awareness is
lucidly clear because it is stable in
the three times it is called an ale
[Music]
then as for the secret instruction which
teaches that the three times are one you
should relinquish all notions of the past and abandon or precedence you
should cut off all plans and expectations with respect to the future
and in the present you should not grasp that thoughts that
arise but allow the mind to remain in a
state like the sky
since there is nothing upon which to meditate while in the primordial state
there is no need to meditate and since
there does not exist any destruction here you should continue in this state
of stable mindfulness without distraction
in this state which is without meditation and without any distraction
you observe everything with a naked awareness
your own awareness is inherently knowing
inherently clear and luminously brilliant when it arises it is called
the bodhichitta the enlightened mind
being without any activity of meditation it transcends all objects of knowledge
being without any distraction it is the
luminous clarity of the essence itself
appearances being empty in themselves
become self liberated
clarity and emptiness being inseparable
are the Dharmakaya
since it becomes evident there is nothing to be realized by means of the
path to Buddhahood at this time you will
actually behold Vajrasattva
then as for the instruction for exhausting the six extremes and
overthrowing them even though there
exists a great many different views that do not agree among themselves this mind
which is your own intrinsic awareness is in fact self originated primal awareness
and with regard to this
The Observer and the process of observing and not two
different things
when you look and observe seeking the one who is looking and observing since
you search for this observer and do not find them
at that time your view is exhausted and
overthrown thus even though it is the
end of your view this is the beginning with respect to yourself the view and
the one who is viewing not found to exist anywhere
without its falling excessively into emptiness and non-existence even at the
beginning at this very moment your own
present awareness becomes lucidly clear
just this is the view or the way of seeing or the great perfection therefore
understanding and not understanding and
not two different things
you
although there exists a great many different meditations that do not agree
among themselves your own ordinary
present awareness is directly penetrating the process of meditation
and the one who meditates and not to
different things
when you look for the meditator who is meditating or not meditating since you
have searched for this meditator and have not found them anywhere
at that time your meditation is exhausted and overthrown
thus even though it is the end of your meditation this is the beginning with
respect to yourself the meditation and
the meditator are not found to exist anywhere
without it's falling under the power of delusion drowsiness or agitation your
immediate unfair brocaded awareness becomes lucidly clear and this
unmodified state of even contemplation
is concentration therefore remaining in
a calm state or not remaining in it and
not two different things
you
although there exists a great many different kinds of behavior which do not
agree among themselves your ownself
originated primal awareness is the
unique sphere behavior and the one who
behaves and not to different things
when you look for the one it is who behaves with action or without action
since you have searched for the one who acts and I have not found them anywhere
at that time your behavior is exhausted and overthrown
thus even though it is the end of your conduct and behavior this is the
beginning with respect to yourself from
the very beginning neither behavior nor
the one who behaves have existed as separate realities without its falling
under the power of errors and inherited predispositions your immediate awareness
is a nun fabricated inherent clarity
without accepting or rejecting anything
just letting things be as they are without trying to modify them
such conduct or behavior alone is pure
therefore pure and impure action and not
two different things
you
although there exists great many different fruits that do not agree among
themselves the nature of the mind that is inherent
awareness is none other than the spontaneously perfected rakaia what is
realized and the one who realizes it and
not two different things
when you look for the fruit and for the one who has realized since you have
searched for the realizer of the fruit and have not found them anywhere at that
time your fruit is exhausted and overthrown thus even though it is an end
to your fruition still this is the
beginning with respect to yourself
both the fruition and the one who has attained the realization I found to not
exist anywhere
without it's falling under the power of attachments or aversions or of hopes and
fears your immediate present awareness
becomes spontaneously perfected inherent clarity
understand the way in yourself the trachea is fully manifest therefore this
itself is the fruition of primordial Buddhahood
this intrinsic awareness is three of the eight extremes such as eternalism and
nihilism and the rest
thus we speak of the middle way where one does not fall into any of the
extremes and we speak of intrinsic
awareness as uninterrupted mindful presence
since the emptiness possesses a heart that is intrinsic awareness therefore it
is called by the name of tada Goethe GABA that is the embryo or heart of
Buddhahood
if you understand the meaning of this and that will transcend and surpass
everything else
therefore it is called by the name of progeny parameter that is the perfection
of wisdom
because it cannot be conceived of by the intellect and it's free of all
conceptual limitations from the very beginning therefore it is called by the
name of Maha mudra that is the great
symbol
because of that in accordance with whether it is specifically understood or
not understood
since it is the basis of everything of all the Bliss of Nirvana and of all the
sorrow of samsara therefore it is called
by the name of a liar that is the
foundation of everything
because when it remains in its own space it is quite ordinary and in no way
exceptional
this awareness that is present and lucidly clear it's called by the name of
ordinary awareness
however many names may be applied to it even though they are well conceived and
fancy sounding with regards to its real
meaning it is just this immediate present awareness and nothing else
to desire something other than this is just like having an elephant at home but
searching for its tracks elsewhere
even though you may try to measure the universe with a tape measure it will not
be possible to encompass all of it
similarly if you do not understand that everything derives from the mind it will
not be possible for you to attain Buddhahood
by not recognizing this intrinsic awareness for what it is you will then
search for your mind somewhere outside of yourself
if you seek for yourself elsewhere outside of yourself how can you ever
find yourself
for example this is just like an idiot you're going into a crowd of many people
and having let himself become confused because of the spectacle does not
recognize himself and even though he searches for himself everywhere he
continually makes the era of mistaking others for himself
similarly since you do not see the natural condition of the real
disposition of things you do not know
that appearances come from mind and so you are thrust once again into
samsara
by not seeing that your own mind is actually the Buddha
navona becomes obscured
with respect to samsara and Nirvana the difference is simply due to
ignorance or to awareness respectively
but at this single instant of pure awareness there is in fact no actual
difference between them in terms of their essence
if you come to perceive them as existing somewhere other than in your own mind
this is surely an error therefore
era and Nan era actually of a single essence which is the nature of the mind
since the mine streams of sentient beings not made into something that is
divided into two the unmodified uncorrected nature of the
mind is liberated by its being allowed simply to remain in its own original
natural condition
if you are not aware that the fundamental error or delusion comes from
the mind you not properly understand the
real meaning of the Dharma to the nature
of reality
you should look into what is self arising and self originated with respect
to these appearances in the beginning they must arise from somewhere in
between they must remain somewhere and at the end they must go somewhere yet
when you look into this matter it is for example like a crow gazing into a well
when it flies away from the well its reflection also the parts from the will
and does not return in the same way
appearances arise from the mind they
arise from the mind and are liberated into the mind
the nature of the mind which has the capacity to know everything and be aware
of everything is empty and clear
as is the case with the sky above it's emptiness and its clarity have been
inseparable from the very beginning
self originated primal awareness becomes manifest and becoming systematically
established as luminous clarity just
this is the Dharma tar the nature of
reality
even though the indication of his existence is all phenomenal existence
which manifests externally to you you
are aware of it in your own mind and this ladder is the nature of the mind
since it is aware and clear it is understood to be like the sky
however even though we employ the example of the sky to indicate the
nature of the mind this is in fact only a metaphor or simile indicating things
in a one-sided fashion the nature of the
mind as well as being empty who's also intrinsically aware everywhere it is
clear but the sky is without any awareness it
is empty as an inanimate corpse is empty
therefore the real meaning of mind is not indicated by the sky so without
distraction simply allow the mind to remain the state of being just as it is
moreover as this diversity of appearances which
represents relative truth
not even one of these appearances is actually created in reality and so
accordingly they disappear again
all things all phenomenal existence
everything within Sam Starr and Nevada a
merely appearances or phenomena which
are perceived by the individual single nature of the mind
on any particular occasion when your own internal mindstream undergoes changes
then there will arise appearances which you will perceive as external changes
therefore everything that you see is a manifestation of mind moreover all the
beings inhabiting the six realms of rebirth perceive everything with their
own distinct karmic vision
the tirthikas who are outsiders see all
these in terms of the dualism of eternalism as against Neil ISM
each of the nine successive vehicles sees things in terms of its own view
thus things are perceived in various different ways and may be elucidated in
various different ways
because you grasped these various appearances that arise becoming attached
to them errors have come into existence
yet with respect to all of these appearances of which you are aware in
your mind even though these appearances
that you perceive do arise if you do not
grasp at them then that is Buddhahood
appearances are not erroneous in themselves but because of your grasping
at them errors have come into existence
but if you know that these thoughts only grasp things which are mind then they
will be liberated by themselves
everything that appears is but a manifestation of mind
even though the entire external inanimate universe appears to you it is
but a manifestation of mind
even though all of the sentient beings of the six realms appear to you
they are but a manifestation of mind
even though the happiness of humans and the delights of the day was in heaven
appear to you they are but manifestations of mind
even though the sorrows of the three evil destinies appear to you they are
but manifestations of mind
even though the five poisons representing ignorant sand the passions
appear to you they are but
manifestations of mind
even though intrinsic awareness which is self originated primal awareness appears
to you it is but a manifestation of mind
even though good thoughts along the way to Nirvana appear to you they are but
manifestations of mind
even though obstacles do demons and evil spirits appear to you they are but
manifestations of mind
even though the gods and other excellent tainment Sapir to you
they are but manifestations of mind
even though various kinds of purity appear to you they are but
manifestations of mind
even though the experience of remaining in a state of one-pointed concentration
without any discursive thoughts appears to you it is but a manifestation of mind
even though the colors that are the characteristics of things appear to you
they are but manifestations of mind even
though estate without characteristics and without conceptual elaborations
appears to you it is but a manifestation
of mind
even though the non-duality of the one and the many appears to you
it is but a manifestation of mind
even though existence and non-existence which are not created anywhere appear to
you they are but manifestations of mind
there exists no appearances whatsoever that can be understood there's not
coming from mind
because of the unobstructed nature of the mind there is a continuous arising
of appearances like the waves and the
waters of the ocean which are not two different things
whatever arises is liberated into the natural state of the mind
however many different names are applied to it in this unceasing process of
naming things with respect to its real
meaning the mind of the individual
does not exist other than as one
and moreover the singularity
is without any foundation and devoid of any root
but even though it is one you cannot look for it in any particular
direction
it cannot be seen as an entity located somewhere
because it is not created or made by anything
nor can it be seen as just being empty because there exists the transparent
radiance of his own luminous clarity and awareness
and nor can that be seen as diversified because emptiness and clarity are
inseparable
the media's self-awareness is clear and present
even though activities exist there is no
awareness of an agent who is the actor
even though they are without any inherent nature experiences are actually
experienced if you practice in this way
then everything will be liberated
with respect to your own sense faculties everything will be understood
immediately without any intervening operations of the intellect just as is
the case with the sesame seed being the cause of the oil in the milk being the
cause of butter but where the oil is not obtained
without Pressy and the butter is not obtained without journey so all sentient beings even
though they possess the actual essence of Buddhahood will not realize Buddhahood without
engaging in practice
if he practices and even a cowherd can realize liberation even though he does
not know the explanation he can systematically establish himself in the
experience of it
for example when one has had the experience of
actually tasting sugar in one's mouth one does not need to have that taste
explained by someone else
not understanding this intrinsic awareness even pun deters can fall into
error even though they are exceedingly
loaded and knowledgeable in explaining the nine vehicles will only be like
spreading rumors of places which they have not seen personally
and with respect to Buddhahood they will not even approach it for a
moment
if you understand intrinsic awareness all of your merits and sins will be
liberated into their own condition but
if you do not understand it any virtuous or vicious deeds that you commit will
accumulate as karma leading to transmigration in heavenly rebirth or to
rebirth in the evil destinies respectively
but if you understand this empty primal awareness which is your own mind the
consequences of merit and of sin will
never come to be realized
just as a spring cannot originate in the empty sky in the state of emptiness
itself the object of merit or a sin is
not even created
therefore your own manifest self-awareness comes to see everything
naked Lee
this self liberation through seeing with naked awareness is of such great
profundity and this being so you should
become intimately acquainted with self awareness profoundly sealed
how wonderful as for the self liberation through
seeing with naked awareness which is a direct introduction to one's own
intrinsic awareness it is for the
benefit of those sentient beings belonging to the later generations of
those future degenerate times that all
of my tantras are gamez and/or bodacious
though necessarily brief and concise
have been composed
and even though I have disseminated them at the present time yet they shall be
concealed as precious treasures so that
those whose good karma ripens in the future she'll come to encounter them
samaya
co-co-co
this tree sees which is an introduction to one's actual intrinsic awareness or
state of immediate presence is entitled
