    Dzogchen Wisdom

    Let's take a look at what two Dzogchen masters have to say, starting with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche.

    He says in his book: Present Fresh Wakefulness:

    "Basically and fundamentally, our mind is utterly empty, sheer bliss, totally naked. We do not need to make it like this; we do not need to cultivate it by meditating, to create this state by meditating.

    Give up thinking of anything at all, about the past, the future or the present. Remain thought-free, like an infant.

    Innate suchness is unobscured the moment you are not caught up in present thinking.

    That which prevents us from being face to face with the real Buddha, the natural state of mind, is our own thinking. It seems to block the natural state.

    Rigpa, the Natural State, is not cultivated in meditation. The awakened state is not an object of the intellect. Rigpa is beyond intellect, and concepts.

    This is the real Buddhadharma, not to do a thing. Not to think of anything Like Saraha said, "Having totally abandoned thinker and what is thought of, remain as a thought-free child."

    Thinking is delusion.

    When caught up in thinking we are deluded. To be free of thinking is to be free.

    That freedom consists in how to be free from our thinking.

    As long as the web of thinking has not dissolved, there will repeatedly be rebirth in and the experiences of the six realms.

    The method: But if you want to be totally free of conceptual thinking there is only one way: through training in thought-free wakefulness. (rigpa).

    Strip awareness to its naked state.

    If you want to attain liberation and omniscient enlightenment, you need to be free of conceptual thinking.

    Being free of thought is liberation.

    This is not some state that is far away from us: thought-free wakefulness actually exists together with every thought, inseparable from it... but the thinking obscures or hides this innate actuality. Thought free wakefulness (the natural state) is immediately present the very moment the thinking dissolves, the moment it vanishes, fades away, falls apart.

    Simply suspend your thinking within the non-clinging state of wakefulness: that is the correct view."

    My comment: All the masters agree on this point, that any intellectual pursuit as trying to increase wisdom through study and analysis is only having an effect upon the intellect. The intellect is itself the functioning of deluded ego-consciousness. The intellect never becomes enlightened. The Natural State is thought free, intellect free... and no studying or analyzing gets you any closer. Any realization or intellectual insight is just a mental arising that occurs to our unchanging Awareness and offers no benefit or harm. It is a sudden seeing, a non-conceptual erupting of the Natural State into our field of consciousness that reveals the fact that there never was a me to be liberated, as the me was just a thought floating through the non-personal continuum of our mind. We are not a person who has experiences, but rather the individual person is just an experience arising within a non-personal Awareness.

    Lonchenpa said: A Buddha with a thinking mind is an ordinary sentient being (unenlightened), but a sentient being without a thinking mind is a Buddha.

    It's like this...

    When you were born and only days old, you had no idea of who or what you were. You were just present and aware. So your head had no thought-stories in it about being a self or about being an individual entity with any identity at all.

    Over time your head got filled up with ONLY THOUGHTS and images ABOUT being a defined self with defined personal characteristics and traits. Of course these are just made up thought-stories with no actual findable self of any kind.

    Wake up people! That self as a defined personal "me", is only a bunch of thoughts filling that otherwise originally empty head. There is "no one" in there anymore than the character you "seemed" to be in last night's dream as being a real person. You are still the vivid identity-less awareness that pre-existed the "me" thoughts and stories

    All those "me" thoughts are just floating around in that "space of vivid empty awareness", like ratty old furniture that needs to be put out with the trash. It's only that imaginary, thought-story "me" that suffers emotionally and has problems. It's just an imaginary story folks!

    Close your eyes and see if you can find a real self in your mind that exists independently of those thoughts, images and memories that claim a "me" really exists.

    What was seen?

    What the most essential experiential insight in the Emptiness teachings?

    You are only the infinite and changeless Emptiness in which the body, mind, egoic self, perceptions and world appears.

    You are the empty host and they are your self-generated guests; much like transparent reflections in a mirror.

    KOCOURMIKES: Ahoj. Ano. Buddhismus, je široký kulturní fenomén, který samozřejmě zahrnuje i náboženství. Proto se ta přednáška jmenuje : „Cesta Buddhy není náboženství"
    To nemusí být nutně úplně totéž. Ale o tom právě bude ta přednáška.

    Heart or Crown?

    There has arisen an interesting discussion lately; is the Absolute Nature in the crown or the heart? For sure, both heart and crown have unique attributes associated with each. But these discussions really shouldn't be reified into actual anatomical reference points.

    In Taoistic yoga the Tao is realized in association with "Shen" in the skull. In Kashmiri Shaivism the Absolute is Shiva at the crown. In kundalini yoga Shiva is realized when Shakti as kundalini reaches the crown. In Kabbalah Ayin Sof is experienced in the crown and forehead as Keter.

    In many other traditions the Absolute is experienced in the heart. I also teach bringing awareness to the heart especially for Westerners who tend to have "too much head" and not enough heart. But I always teach that the wisdom that releases delusion, is the illumination in the crown and wisdom eye in the forehead. Which is correct?

    There is only the Absolute and it has no location possible because It projects space and time while not being "anywhere" or "any when" Itself. The ultimate location of the Absolute is no "where". The division into "head" and "heart" is a dualistic ontology that can be used for provisional purposes only.

    To bring out the aspect of the Absolute as "unconditional love", we work with the heart chakra. To bring out the wisdom aspect that releases all delusion, we work with the crown and wisdom eye. But in fact the heart and crown are a singular Absolute without the least separation at all times.

    For example; let's say a very powerful military laser beam weapon was aimed at your body without your knowledge. Suddenly it fires and your body is instantly vaporized. In that moment, after your body is obviously absent, where is the crown and where is the heart? Where exactly should you focus your attention now while bodiless?

    In original Dzogchen there is no concept of any location to place attention nor anyone who could place it. That is called a Dharmakaya teaching. Teachings about chakras and "locations" are called Sambhogakaya teachings. Teachings about acquiring virtue, renunciation and improving behaviors and conduct are called "Nirmanakaya" teachings. Dharmakaya teachings are the most direct and accurate.

    Quantum Physics and Prasangika Buddhist View

    "From the 'I' and the aggregates of body/mind, down to the atomic particles, everything is labeled on another label. Something is imputed to one base, which is labeled on another base, and that base is labeled on another base. Everything exists being labeled. Everything is a label, starting with our aggregates of body/mind. So, from the I and the aggregates of body/mind down to the atomic particles, everything is completely empty of existing from its own side. The concrete things that appear to us are hallucinations."
    Lama Zopa

    Quantum Physics professor at Oxford, England, Vlatko Vedral:

    "But Buddhism tells us that we should not confuse the label with the object. More importantly, just because we have a label for something, it does not mean that this something is real. Quantum physics is indeed very much in agreement with Buddhistic emptiness."

    "Discovering a particle means observing certain effects which are accepted as proof of its existence.’ Eddington claims here that a particle is just a set of labels that we use to describe outcomes of our measurements. And that’s it. It all boils down to a relation between our measurements and our labels!"

    Richard Conn Henry, Professor in the Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy, Johns Hopkins:

    "There is another benefit of seeing the world as quantum mechanical: someone who has learned to accept that nothing exists but observations (descriptions) is far ahead of peers who stumble through physics hoping to find out ‘what things are’. "

    "In place of “underlying stuff ” there have been serious attempts to preserve a material world — but they produce no new physics, and serve only to preserve an illusion."
    As Sir Arthur Eddington explained: “It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character.”

    Seeing it Clearly is Being It

    If you close your eyes, you can notice an inner space of awareness in which various mental events as thoughts and images appear and disappear. Notice this for a couple of minutes.

    If you then rest in just this awareness of noticing the inner traffic within that space, the mental events will begin to slow down and one's mind will eventually become more still and clear. At this point shift attention from the diminishing mental events and just sense the empty, aware space in which all experience is appearing. That empty, aware space is the Mind of Clear Light; your changeless Buddha Mind that is always perfect.

    It's the mental traffic and perceptions appearing in It as thoughts, that describes a self, a world and the narrative concerning that self; the story of "me". But the aware cognitive space that is hosting all those thought appearances is untouched by all and everything appearing in It.

    So you see, your perfect Buddha Mind, the empty Mind of Clear Light, was never in need of any study, teachings, purification or practices. It never changes, only the visitors change that come and go.


    This is what "instantaneous enlightenment" is pointing to. Don't "think" that more is needed; that would just be the next visiting thought talking.


    ....

    It becomes clear that no self of any kind is part of the "empty awareness", it's just a thought/image that appears and disappears harmlessly. The "self" thought is no one itself and no one owns it. It appears as the momentary visitor; "I" and "me" along with "mine".

    One can't fully relax without realization of twofold emptiness:

    Mipham Rinpoche composed a brief text called The Beacon of Certainty, in which he states:

    "In order to have perfect certainty in Dzogchen kadag (primordial purity, emptiness), one must have perfect understanding of the view of the Madhyamaka Prasangika. Kadag, or original, primordial purity, is the view of Dzogchen, and in order to perfect that view, one must perfect one’s understanding of the Middle Way Prasangika view. What this implies is that the view of Dzogchen kadag (primordial purity, emptiness) and the view of the Prasangika school are the same."

    The Basic Principles of Dzogchen

    1. Pure Awareness (rigpa) is the single and unique ultimate truth. Everything else is its radiance. You are only that ultimate truth, never a derivative. It is empty of being any material substance, form or shape and has no location in space or time.

    2. All phenomena, all appearances, and all mental/emotional/physical states exist only as radiant projections (tsal) of that awareness (rigpa) and occur only within one's Mind.

    3. There is no objective, independent universe "out there". There is a universal field (dang)of energetic wisdom-information (yeshe) that "informs" and enforms all experience as to how the projections appear.

    4. Your body is an energetic construct as a coherent field of information or wisdom (yeshe) that non-volitionally appears in your Mind.

    5. All appearances, forms, objects, creatures, persons, and individual beings are energetic, mental constructs.

    6. Your actual and only beingness is an aware and knowing empty space of pure awareness that hosts all its projections, like a changeless empty mirror that hosts all reflections inseparably, friction free.

    7. The self-appearances or self-projections never condition the empty mirror of pure awareness from which they arise.

    8. The seeker or practitioner is itself awareness's or rigpa's momentary energetic projection of a secondary self-consciousness. The projection or reflection can never become the projector.

    (During the time that a secondary self-consciousness is being actively projected, the wisdom of the ultimate truth is cognitively absent within that secondary consciousness; which is its basic ignorance)

    9. When the seeker or individual secondary consciousness is no longer being projected actively, only the projector remains, and automatically knows itself as to its own nature as being the changeless ultimate.

    10. By "authentically looking inward" at itself, the projected secondary self-consciousness as the seeker, sees its empty nature and automatically dissolves.

    11. The successful act of "looking inward" can be the result of a "pointing out" through a teacher, a book, a text, a video or audio, or a well placed moment of inner perception upon the empty nature of awareness itself.

    12. When the act of "looking inward" has served its purpose successfully, the projecting of the "self-consciousness as the seeker" ceases and the ultimate truth is known by Itself instantly.

    13. Then a newly "informed" consciousness (Buddha Mind) arises with an altruistic motivation for the benefit of all and acts accordingly: exactly as projected from its vital and living inner core of wisdom, unconditional love and compassion.

    14. The purpose or reason behind this entire cosmic (or comic) cycle of creative activity is
    contained within a very rare and most ancient, unwritten དགོངས་གཏེར་, gong ter teaching known as the "Protocols of Rigpa". The final (unwritten) scroll summarizes and reveals this perfectly in only four words and is fully contained in its title:

    "The Sport of Buddhas".

    Whatever arises is devoid of self-nature.
    Appearances are auto-liberated into the Sphere of Reality (Dharmadhatu).
    Conceptual creation is auto-liberated into Absolute Gnosis (Mahajnana).
    The non-duality [of these two] is the Dharmakaya.

    For those fortunate to connect with this teaching,
    I have uttered these words of heartfelt instruction.
    Thus, may all sentient beings
    become established in Mahamudra.
