Notes
1 Still, there are only few works written in Western languages which
give an account of what is meant by lights or lamps ( sgron ma ) and
(
visions snang ba ). In Tucci 1980, p. 264, no. 31, there is a short
reference to a set of Four Lamps ( sgron ma bzhi) and a set of Six Lamps
( sgron ma drug ). However, Tucci does not specify the Four Visions
( snang ba bzhi). Another short account of a set of Six Lamps is presented
in Chagmd 1988, pp. 180-189. Quite detailed explanations of the Four
Visions can be found in Padmasambhava 1998, pp. 244-255; Chagm6
2000, pp. 160-175. Furthermore, in Guenther 1992 the whole sixth chapter
- see pp. 73-91 - is dedicated to the subject of lamps and visions. Common
to all these works cited above is the fact that they just give a general
overview of what is meant by lights or lamps and visions. Neither do they
elucidate the complex multivalence of the terms involved nor do they give
us sufficient information about the whole mass of original texts which treat
this subject. Thus, it is the intention of the dissertation "Lights and Visions
in Rdzogs chen Thinking" to help to fill this gap and to stimulate further
studies on this subject.
Fairly detailed accounts of the ground ( gzhi) are given in Gyatso,
1998, pp. 200-202; Guenther, 1975a Part Three, pp. 3-26; Norbu, 1986,
pp. 56-65.
3 This idea is nicely presented in Guenther 1989, p. 198.
Traditionally, six such views or claims are distinguished. See
Kongtrul Lodr6 Tay,6 1995, p. 204.
275
5 This is an aspect of RdZOgSChenthinking which is emphasized
over and again in the relevant texts. See for instance Norbu 1980/1983,
31.
6 See Thondup 1989, p. 102 where it is clearly stated that the eight
lower vehicles merely deal with mental fabrications, thus being unable to
reveal what is ultimately real. A short but clear exposition of the Nine
Vehicles ( theg pa dgu) of the Old School of Tibetan Buddhism ( Rnying
ma ) is given in Reynolds 1989, pp. 32-34. For a detailed account of these
vehicles see Dudjom 1991.
7 It was Guenther who first drew attention on the problem of how to
translate the term thugs rie in the context of Rdzogs chen. See Guenther
1977, p. 156, no. 38.
8 It should be noted that the term "way" ( lam ) refers in the context
of this dissertation to the way of the Instruction-Class ( man ngag sde) of
Rdzogs chen. Only this class is supposed to comprise the final formulation
of Rdzogs chen, because its other two classes, i.e., the Mind-Class (sems
sde) and the Space-Class ( klong sde), are said - see NMSHT, p. 622f -
to lack somewhat the inseparability of the three aspects of the ground.
Overviews of the Three Series ( sde gsum) are presented in Thondup,
1987, pp. 47-88; Karmay 1988, pp. 206-216; Reynolds 1996, pp. 31-35;
Gyatso 1998, p. 300, no. 35; Petitt 1999, pp. 79-81. For a detailed account
of these series see Dudjom 1991, pp. 319-345.
For concise explanations of the Cutting Through ( khreqs chod)
and the Leaping Over ( thod rgal) see Thondup 1989, pp. 68-73; Gyatso
1998, pp. 198-200. For an excellent summary of these two practices see
Erhard 1990, pp. 66-81. Especially interesting is his discussion about the
276
alleged superiority Of the Leaping Over when compared with the Cutting
Through. A quite detailed account of the Cuffing Through alone is
presented in Dudjom Lingpa 1994, passim
10 Traditionally, one distinguishes seven aspects of superiority. About
these seven aspects see TCZ 11,p. 304.
11 This is clearly stated in Karmay 1988a, p. 193.
12 See Chagm6 1998, pp. 180.
13 In his TCZ 11,p. 223 Klong chen rab 'byams emphasizes the point
that the ground arising as outward appearances is not something material-
physical despite its making itself felt as form, colour, sound, etc. For a
translation of the relevant passage see Guenther 1992, p. 73.
14 As Gyatso - see Gyatso 1998, pp. 203-204 - rightly remarks, the
inner potentiality of the ground as symbolized by the Youthful-Vase-Body
( gzhon nu bum pal sku ) is a more sophisticated form of the idea of the
presence of Buddhahood in the physical body. Unlike the tath,5gatagarbha
the Youthfu.1-Vase-Bodyis not merely understood as seed of Buddhahood
which has to be developed somewhat, but rather as a well which readily
grants eternal youth, i.e., Buddhahood, with its promise to leave behind
definitely everything which is impermanent.
A succinct elucidation of the terms tath5gatagarbha and sugatagarbha in
the context of the general Mahjyjna Buddhism can be found in Guenther
1989, pp. 132-136, and an excellent summary of how the idea of the
sugatagarbha was developed in the Rdzogs chen thinidng is given in
Karmay 1988, pp. 184-189. There one finds also an explanation of the
criticism made against this idea as understood in Rdzogs chen. Basicýly, it

277
is the seemingly physical presentation of the sugatagarbha - it is supposed
to dwell in the middle of the heart - which is rejected in such criticism.
15 See the Sixth Theme.
16 See Guenther 1992, p. 86.
17 A diagram presenting the "overall version of the lamps" and some
of its other versions can be found in Guenther 1992, p. 90. This diagram,
however, merely lists the most common sets or versions of lamps. For a
detailed explanation of its various sets see the Sixth Theme.
18 An index of the whole Rdzogs chen section of The Hundred
Thousand Tantras ( Rnying ma rgyud 'bum) of the TTT which contains the
Adtshamsbrag edition of these Tantras is contained in Appendix IV.
Besides this edition there exist the Gting skyes, the Skyi grong and the Sde
dae editions which, however, I could not consult. About the history and
.,
nature of these Tantras see Germano 2002.
19 About the Three Series ( sde gsum) see note 8.
20 The tantric system of the Old School ( Rnying ma) has been
handed down through a short transmission of treasure texts ( gter ma ) and
a long transmission of canonical texts ( bka'ma). The first one refers to
texts which are said to have been concealed by Padmasambhava, his
consort Ye shes mtsho rgyal and others, and which in later centuries were
held to have been discovered by incarnations of their students to whom
these texts originally had been entrusted. The second one denotes the
corpus of tantric texts supposed to have been translated by
Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra.and others in the eighth and ninth century

278
which have been transmitted through an unbroken succession of teachers
to
up now. See Dhondup 1978, pp. 53-46. A very detailed acount of the
treasure ( gter ma) tradition is given in Thondup 1986.
21 This collection of Spying thig texts consists of Four Branches to
which the Profound Innermost Essence ( zab mo yang thig) is added as
the fifth branch:
1. The Heart Essence of Vimalamitra ( Bi mai s*ng thig) which is
supposed to have been hidden in Tibet by the great Indian Rdzogs chen
Adept Vimalarnitra (eight century?).
The Heart Essence of the PakinTs( Mkha "gro spying thig )
allegedly hidden in Tibet by Padmasambhava (eight century?).
The Innermost Essence of the Lama ( Bla ma yang thig),
the commentary of Klong chen rab 'byams on The Heart Essence of
Vimalamitra.
4. The Innermost Essence of the PakinTs( Mkha"gro yang thig
the commentary of Klong chen rab 'byams on The Heart Essence of the
PakinTs-
The Profound Innermost Essence ( Zab mo yang thig ),
the combined commentary of Klong chen rab 'byams on The Heart
Essence of Vimalamitra and The Heart Essence of the Paknis-
An index of the works contained in the New Delhi edition of the Snying thig
ya bzhi is given in Goodman 1983, pp. 164-220. Overviews of the Spying
thig ya bzhi are presented in Erhard 1990, pp. 17-31; Reynolds 1996, pp.
215-217.

22 (
About the Five Buddha-Families rigs Inga ) see the Second
Theme.
23 See Karmay 1988, p. 105.
24 This short hagiography of Klong chen rab 'byams is based on the
following publications: Guenther 1975a, Part One, pp. xiii-xv; Thondup
1996, pp. 109-117.
25 About the different names of Klong chen rab 'byams see Thondup
1989, p. 288.
26 The distinction made between the Old School ( mying ma ) and the
New Schools ( gsar ma ) is a distinction of the time in which Indian Tantric
texts were translated into Tibetan. Initially, this kind of texts had been
translated into Tibetan to a great extent during the reign of King Khri srong
Ide b1san (742-797). The seGond wave of translations began with the
activity of Rin chen bzang po (958-1055) and all scriptures translated since
then are called "New ones. "
27 By the way, works signed by him with his principal name, i.e.,
Klong chen rab 'byams, belong to the category of works which explain the
expanse of the inconceivable nature of reality in detail, and his name Kun
mkhyen ngag gi dbang po indicates that one is dealing Withworks by him
which elucidate themes such as the graduation of the Nine Vehicles ( theg
pa dgu ) exhausävely. See Thondup, p. 188.

Yid bzhin rin po che'i mdzod
Tshig don rin po che'i mdzod

Short commentaries about the content of the Seven Treasures ( Mdzod
bdun) are presented in Guenther 1975a, Part One, pp. xvii-xviii; Thondup
1989, pp. 155-156.
30 On the Three Roots ( rtsa ba gsum), i.e., Guru (bla ma ), Deva
( yi dam), and PAW ( mkha "gro), see Dowman 1984, pp. 217-225.
31 On the 32 major ( mtshan bzang po sum curtsa gnyis) and 80
minor marks ( dpe byed bzang po brgyad bcu), see Tsepak Rigzinl 986,
pp. 250-252,341-343.
32 These seven views are only mentioned in a note ( mchan) to the
text, but, except for the seventh one, not explained. Thus, the following
summary is based on the TDZ. See TDZ p. 163f.

88 These are the the Great Golden Channel ( ka Lfgser gjd rtsa
chen), the One Being an Empty Crystal-Cavity (shel gyi sbug gu
khongs pa stong), the White Silk Thread Rolled Up In Subtlety ( dar dkar
snal ma 'phra la 'khyii), and the Great Channel of Empty Self-Liberation
( stong pa rang grol rtsa chen po ).
89 Obviously, the Channel Which Separates the Faults From the
Qualibes of the Sense Organs ( skyon yon dbang po dwangs byed rtsa )
cannot be one of the six channels mentioned above, because these
channels exclusively dwell in the region of the heart and do not connect it
with the eyes.

91 These three channels pass along the four energy-centres of navel (
Ite ba I 'khor 16), heart ( spying gi Whor16), throat ( mgfin pal 'khor lo ),
and crown of the head ( spyi gtsug gi 'khor lo ).
92 Here, the energy-centre of the secret place ( gsang gnas), i.e., the
. !h&4
genitals, is added to the usual four energy-centres.

95 How "method" ( thabs) and "discriminative awareness" ( shes
rab) have to be understood is explained in the ZMYT 1, p. 85:
"Thus, method, i.e., unimpeded appearance which is male and
discriminative awareness, i.e., non-clinging emptiness which is female, are
in non-dual union when all of what is appearance and existence ( snang
srid), the worlds and their inhabitants ( snod bcud), and samsara and
nirvana, have arisen as self-appearance of Intelligence. Whatever appears
(at this time), it naturally arises ( rang shar) as friend of Intelligence."

118 The threefold appearance consists of delusory appearances
( 'khrul pa ), of appearances embodying the actual view ( Ita ba dngos),
and of appearances relating to the intermediate states ( bar do).
119 See the appendix for a transcription of the whole chapter.
311
120 According to NYSNY, p. 31, this aspect is not the channel which
resembles a buffalo-horn ( rtsa ba men gyi ra 'dra ), but the physical
sense-organ which supports the sense-perceptions ( dbang rten ):
/ rgyang zhag chui sgron zhes bya ba mig gi sgo las sku dang zhing

gsum po tshogs pa'i mthus chos nyid mngon sum gyi snang ba mthong bar
'gyur ba ste /
121 Concerning the difference between appearances ( snang ba) and
appearing objects ( snang yul) see STCP, p. 855. According to this text,
"appearances" is a term denoting the non-conceptual perception of
mountains, rocks, etc. On the other hand, "appearing objects" are to be
understood as objects which are apprehended in accordance with their
individually specific characteristics ( don rang mtshan). Together with the
third component - the eye-consciousness ( mig gi mam shes) - these two
components form a unity consisting of objects perceived by a sense-
consciousness either conceptually or non-conceptually.
According to the passage of NYSNY, p. 31, quoted above, these three
components have to be understood as eye-consciousness ( mig gi mam
and not as the physical sense-organ which supports the sense-

S11hes)
perceptions ( dbang den). Not so clear is the statement there that they
form the foundation of the arising of the the Vision of the Immediate
Perception of Reality Itself ( chos nyid mngon sum gyi snang ba ). it wcwld
rather seem that only the second aspect is absolutely necessary for the
arisal of this visiOn, because - as stated in the TCZ - the third one is
312
exclusively perceiving sarnsaric visions and the first one with its ambivalent
perception is mediating between the other two.
122 These four energy-centres are also named "generating first
energy-centre" ( skye byed dang poli 'khor 16), "memory collecting energy-
centre" ( dran pa Idus pal Whor16), "flavor collecfing energy-centre"
( ro mams 'dus pal 'khor lo ), and "top arranging energy-centre"
( rtse mo mam par bkod pali Whorlo ). See TDZ p. 202 :

124 The arrangement of the different sections as witnessed in the TCZ
does not always correspond to the one given in the Tantra Sgron ma 'bar
313
ba. For instance, there is no specific section dealing with the origin of this
lamp in this Tantra.
125 The Lamp of the Water that Lassos Everything At a Distanceý
( rgyang zhag chui sgron ma ), the Lamp of Utterly Pure Space ( dbyings
mam par dag pa 7sgron ma ), the Lamp of Empty Drops of Light ( lhig le
stong pa 7 sgron ma ), and the Lamp of Self-Arisen Discriminative
Awareness ( shes rab rang byung gi sgron ma )-
126 See also the Second Theme.
127 Contrary to the Tantra Sgron ma 'bar bA not every syllable of the
term thig le stong pal sgron ma is defined indivdually in the TCZ.
The same holds good for the definition of the dbjodngsrnam par dag pa 7
sgron ma.
128 See the Fifth Theme.
129 In the context of Leaping Over ( thod rgal) the Indic term for "eye",
i.e., ca4u, is frequently used.
130 The Great Self-Arisen Drop ( rang byung thig le chen po ) seems to
correspond to the Drop Ripening Itself to the Result ( 'bras bu rang smin
pa I thig le ) of the Tantra Nyi z1akha sbyor. About this drop see the Fifth
Theme.
131 Concerning the Separation of Samsara and Nirvana ( Whorldas ru
)
shan and the Four Visions ( snang ba bzhi) see the Eighth Theme.
132 The Four Visions ( snang ba bzhi), the two attainments

314
( thob pa gnyis ) and the Great Transference ( 'pho ba chen po ) are
discussed in the Eighth Theme.

144 Five Lamps ( sgron ma Inga) are mentioned in the twelfth chapter
of the Bskal pa dum bu I rgyud, a Tantra which seems to belong to the
Instructon Series ( man ngag sde) - see TTT55, p- 268 - but I could not
317
find their names and functions in this Tantra Moreover, there is a passage
.
in the gter ma text Chos thams chad kyi don bstan pa - see TTT 55, p. 291
to
- which alludes a set of Two Lamps ( SgrOnma 9nYiS ) wiftut sPecifYing
it. Hopefully, both texts will be examined in the near future in order to know
to which of the Three Series ( sde gsum ) they belong.

In the Rdo ije sems dpa's*ng gi me long one finds passage describing
a lamp called "Lamp of the Teaching of Self-Intelligence" ( rang rig bstan

Self-Intelligence refers to the dharmakAya Great Light ( chos sku 'od po
che ), the Lamp of the Way of Enlightened Mind ( byang chub lam g3d
sgron ma ) denotes the process of self-appearance and dissolution into
itself ( rang byung rang la Mim ), and the Lamp of Pristine Cognition ( ye

175 As mentioned in the ZMY 11,the Secret Sphere of
Spontaneously Perfect Preciousness ( 1hungrub rin po che gsang ba I
)
sbubs represents the result. It is identical With the Spontaneously Perfect
Precious Sphere ( 1hungrub fin po chel sbubs) about which see the
Second Theme.
341
In the passage of the TCZ 1,p. 299, which is quoted below, it is explicitly
refered to as "Secret Sphere of Spontaneously Perfect Preciousness As
Resulf (bras bu lhun grub fin po che gsang ba I sbubs) in order to
distinguish it from the so called "Secret Sphere of Spontaneously Perfect
Preciousness As Ground" ( gzhi 1hungrub rin po che7 sbubs).
The sphere named "Secret Sphere of Spontaneously Perfect Preciousness
As Way" ( lam 1hungrub tin po che7 sbubs) in general is associated with
the Eight Modes of Arising ( 'char tshul brgyad) and in particular with the
so called "appearances of the way" subsumed under the Four Visions
( snang ba bzhi). About the Eight Modes of Arising see the Second Theme
where they are presented as Six Modes of Arising ( 'char tshul dnig ) and
Two Doors ( sgo gnyis).

177 According to the BMYT 11,p. 361, the Six Intermediate States
( bar do drug) are:
1. The Intermediate State of the Ground In Its Natural State
( gnas lugs gzhi'bar do)

-
The Inteffnediate State of the Absorption of the Clear Light
( 'od gsal ting nge 'dzin gyi bar do ).
The Intermediate State of the Delusory Appearances of Dreaming
( Whrulsnang rmi lam gyi bar do).
4. The Intermediate State of Death Caused by Disorder of the
Elementary Forces ( 'byung 'khrugs 'chi Mali bar do).
5. The Intermediate State of Spontaneously Perfect Reality Itself
( 1hungrub chos nyid kyi bar do )-
6. The Intermediate State of the Karmic Bardo of Becoming
( süd pa las kyi bar do ).

180 A clear presentabon of the (Vaira)-Chains ( lu gu rgyud) can be
found in the TDZ p. 377, where it is also said that they may assume many
different forms:

Thus, according to this text, the introduction to one's own Intelligence
( rig pa rang ngo sprad pa ) by means of its immediate perception implies
the self-appearance of the Vajra-Chains which is the appearance of the
ever present self-radiation ( rang gdangs) of the primordial Buddha Kun tu
bzang po in the here and now, and seeing one's own essence in such a
way, one attains the same status as this Buddha.
Following several quotations from different Tantras supporting this
is
statement a final quotation that draws attention to the various
connotations of the term lu gu FgYud This term not only refers to the
Vaira-Chains ( rdo rje lu gu rgyud), but also to the radiation of light-
channels ( 'od rtsa ), to units of light-drops ( cha shas fig le ), and to the
Five Lights ( 'od Inga )-

183 Another clear definition of what is meant by the term "Space and
Intelligence" can be found in the BMNYTAI, p. 300:

As usual, two kinds of Space are described here, the Outer being
represented by the cloudless sky, and the Inner one by the Lamp of Utterly
Pure Space ( dbyings mam par dag pali sgron ma) which lights up in the
sky in the form of the sign "na ro" ( yi ge na ro ).
One part or fraction ( cha shas) of Intelligence arises as light-drops, but

349
its essence is made up of the multitude of Vajra-Chains. In short, Space
and Intelligence which are like a house and its owner induce the self-
appearance of the essence of Intelligence, and at the time of its dissolution
or liberation, this self-appearance does not go anywhere else than to its
essence. Moreover, what lights up is not created, but is present forever as
ground where no distinction between Buddhas and sentient beings
( sems can ) can be made.
It is worth mentioning that there are also texts in the BMNYT where a
threefold division of Space is presented, as for instance in the Eleventh
Theme of the Tshig don bcu gcig pa or in the BMNYT III, p. 38:
/ dbyings kyi rgyu ba bstan pa ni // phyi dbyings nam mkha'stong pa /
nanggidbyings'oddangkhadoggo/ /gsangba'idbyingssgronma/
nyon mongs pal dei ma mam par dag pas na / yang dag pai sgron ma de
nyid kyang / sems can la sngar lus la ma brten pa'i dus na sus kyang ma
byas pao /
As usual, the Outer Space is represented by the empty sky, but the Inner
one is defined as light and colours, and the Secret one is said to be the
Lamp which is perfect in the sense of being completey free from any stains
of afflictions. Not only that, it is even present without being produced by
anything in the time before living beings embody themselves.
Still another triple-set of Space is described in the BMNYTIV, p. 190:
/ gsum po ni phyil dbyings nam mkha'nang gi dbyings mam dag sgron
ma / don gyi dbyings chos sku spros pa'i mtha'dang bral ba ste / dpe
me long gya' dag pa la gzugs bmyan thams cad 'char yang ma gos pa

/ rtags phyi nang gi dbyings gnyis yin no // dbyings chos sku ngo bo'i ngo
,:Icn
%P%yv
sprod de 1
Here, the concept-free dharmakiya is added as third Space to the Outer
and Inner ones which are taken as its signs ( rtags). It is called "Utimate
Space" ( don gyi dbyings) and is likened to a stainless mirror which reflects
whatever without loosing its purity.
184 See the First Theme.
185 Concerning the term "primordially pure appearance" ( ka dag gi
snang ba) see the Eleventh Theme.

tshom bu) see the Eleventh Theme.
187 Approach ( bsnyen pa ), Ful I Approach ( nye bar bsnyen pa ),
Accomplishment ( sgrub pa ), and Great Accomplishment ( sgrub pa chen
po ). On the term "Approach and Accomplishmerif ( bsnyen bsgrub ) see
Dowman, Keith. (1984), p. 245.
188 The text Dam Ishig rab 'byed is contained in the third volume of
the Bi ma spying thig.
189 1could not localize this text. Perhaps, it is the Man ngag snying
gzer nag po.
190 Piercing the pith of body, speech, and mind ( lus ngag yid W gnad
gzir ba ) has three parts:
Piercing the pith Of bodY ( lus W gnad gzir ba )- see TCZ 11,
p. 208 -
351
consists of keeping the Three Postures ( gzhugs stangs gsum) of the
sage-like nirmapakiya Posture, the elephant-like posture of the
sambhogakciya, and the lion-like posture of the dharmak5ya.
Piercing the pith of speech ( ngag gi gnad gzir ba ) implies the cultivation
of staying mute. Although not explicitly denoted in the text, one can
distinguish four phases - see TCZII, p. 213 - of ever increasing abstinence
of talking , called "training" ( bsiab pa), "abiding" ( gnas pa), "resolving"
( la bz1aba ), and "stabilizing" (brtan par bya ba).
Keeping the Three Ways of the Gazing of the Three Buddha-Bodies ( sku
gsum gyi gzigs stangs gsum ) relates to the pith of the sense-door
( sgo 7gnad) which is the first of the three parts of piercing the pith of mind
( sems kyi gnad gzir ba ). The continual integration of one's Intelligence into
the Outer Space is what is meant with the pith of the place ( yul gyi gnad)
and holding the Vajra-Chains ( rdo rje lu gu rgyud) in prison while
breathing smoothly represents the pith of the wind and Intelligence ( Hung
rig gi gnad).
Then follows a short explanation of three modes of instruction used in this
context which are treated in the seventeenth chapter of the TCZ - see TCZ
11,p. 198 - in the part called "the general entering into relationship with the
instructions" ( gdams ngag spyff 'brel dgod pa ).
Here, Klong chen rab 'byams explains that there are three ways to
transmit the instructions, namely, in the manner of a guiding explanation
( khfid kyi lugs su gdab pa ), of an introducton ( ngo sprod W lugs su gdab
),
pa and of a complete transmission for the guest who has to pass over
(intermediate states) ( 'gron po la brgal ba la tshang spnigs su gdab pa ).
The latter two can be subsumed under the first one.
Thus, the guiding explanation ( khrid) comprises the Cutting Through
( khregs chod ) and the Leaping Over ( thod rgal) as direct introduction
( ngo sprod car phog tu gdab pa ) and the instructions about intermediate
states ( bar doi gdams ngag) as transmission in completeness ( tshangs

352
sprugs su gdab pa ).
191 The Tshig don bcu gcig pa presents here a short practical
explanation of the way one has to apply the Three Piths ( gnad gsum ).
In the TCZ- see TCZ 11,p. 218 - this part is called "introduction of
Intelligence in its immediacy" ( mngon sum rig pa 7 rang ngo sprad pa ):
/ gnyis pa mngon sum rig pa'i rang ngo sprad pa ni / rig pa rdo rje lu gu
rgyud gser W skud pa nam mkha' la Iding ba Ka bu dbyingsod gsal gyi

phyinnardosbcas'oddu'grola/ ma phyin yang bar do'am rang bzhin
sprul pa'i zhing bgrod / 'gro drug 'khrul pa'i gyang sa chod pa'o /
An abbreviated translation of it runs as follows:
"Here, the Vajra-Chains floating in the Outer Space are said to constitute
together with other appearances of the Clear Light the self-radiation of
unerring Buddhahood in its primordial purity and spontaneous perfection.
Looking into this state, one purifies all conceptual knowing, and out of that,
an inner radiation arises which is sky-like in its being free of conceptions.
Thus, one meets face to face with the Pristine Cognition of self-arisen
discriminative awareness which is the intentionality of the non-duality of
Space and Intelligence. Having realized this intentionality, one abides on
the same level as the primordial Buddha Samantabhadra ( Kun tu bzang
po) and one's material body is liberated into fight (in this very life). Even
353
when this is not the case, one reaches the intermediate state or the realm
of the actual nirmapakiya ( rang bzhin sprul sku), where one is definitely
disconnected from the abyss of the delusion of the Six Kinds of Beings."
192 The quintessential instruction of the final support ( mtha'rten gyi
man ngag) consists of the Three Aspects of Motionlessness ( mi 'gul ba
gsum ), the Three Aspects of Abiding ( sdod pa gsum ), and the Three
Aspects of Attainment ( thob pa gsum )-
According to the TCZ - see TCZ 11,p. 241 - the motionlessness of the
body ( lus W migul ba) is effectuated by means of the motionlessness of
posturing (bzhugs stangsmigulba), of gazing (gzigs stangskyimigul
ba ), and of twisbng and pressing ( gcud Pa dems W mi 'gul ba ).
The first refers to the Three Postures of the Three Buddha-Bodies ( sku
gsum gyi bzhugs stangs) and basically implies a stable upright posture in
order to straighten the channels. Having straightened them, breathing
becomes smooth and discursive thoughts cease. The second is brought
about by means of the Three Ways of the Gazing of the Three Buddha-
Bodies ( sku gsum gyi gzigs stangs gsum ) and is meant to let visions
develop quickly. In order to accomplish the third, one takes recourse to
physical activities such as twisting the body and pressing the veins of the
throat. Due to that, samsara is cut off and visions of the Clear Light
naturally arise.
When aiming at the motionlessness of the speech ( ngag gi migul ba) -
see TCZ 11,

p. 245 - one is determined not to speak with anyone at all (su
dang yang dag ma 'dres pa) in order to empty one's karma of being an
ordinary living being. Then, after having eliminated the demon of words
( tshig gi 'dre Idog pa ), one allows them to arise as self-arisen Pristine
Cognition. Finally, one realizes the inexpressible meaning of whatever is on
account of completely abstaining from speaking ( rang gi brjod pa tsam
yang bkag pa )-

%F%F-F
Concerning the motionlessness of the mind ( sems kyi mi 'gul ba )- see
TCZll, p. 245 Not lacking the target of fixation (gtadpayibemdang ma

-:
bral ba ) which is the Outer Space, one abides for ever in the intention of
the Buddhas. Emprisoning Intelligence into the fence of space ( rig Pa
dbifings kyi go rar Ishud pa ), one cannot but stay in its real mode of being.
Not lacking for ever (its real mode of being) ( rtag tu de nyid dang ma bral
ba ), one's realization of the Four Visions reachs its peak.
Having discussed the Three Aspects of Motionlessness ( mi 'gul ba
gsum), Klong chen rab 'byams continues his presentation of the
quintessential instruction of the final support ( mtharten gyi man ngag )-
see TCZ II, p. 246 - with the Three Aspects of Abiding ( sdod pa gsum ).
The abiding of the body ( lus kyi sdod pa ) basically implies resting without
any bodily engagement. As a consequence of it, one's breathing calms
down and the winds abide ( Hung gi sdod pa ) without disturbance in the
channels where they now flow smoothly. The abiding of visions
(snangbalsdodpa), finally, is attained when they become stable on
account of having reached the full measure of the expenence of the
integration of these three aspects.
After the threefold part of the marks of peak-experience ( rtags tshad )
which will be discussed in the Ninth Theme, comes - see TCZ 11,p. 249 -
the part called wThreefoldAttainmenf ( thob pa gsum). Thus, having
attained power over the outer appearances (phyj snang ba la dbang thob
pa ), they arise as Buddha-Realms. Having attained power over the inner
illusory body ( nang sgyu lus la dbang thob pa ), its concreteness is
liberated into light. Having attained power over the secret Intelligence
( gsang ba rig pa dbang thob pa ) the delusion Gausedby mind and its
attendant wind ceases and the ultimate result is soon to be realized.
Not mentioned in the text are the Four Kinds of ConfidenGe( gdeng bzhi )
which usually fonn the last part of the quintessental instruction of the final
( mtha'rten gyi man ngag). They consist - see TCZ 11,

p. 249 - of
support
355
the confidence of perfeclion of fearlessness ( Yang dag bag tsha n7ed Pai
9deng ), of perfection of the Three Buddha-Bodies having settled in
themselves ( rang gzhag sku 9sum rdzogs pai gdeng ), of final reversal of
cause and effect ( rgyu bras la ziog pa 'i gdeng ), and of control of the
stronghold of naturally perfect initial purity ( ka dag rang rdzogs btsan sa
zin pal gdeng ).
193 These marks will be discussed in the Ninth Theme.
194 The Rnal 'byor bzhii rim pa (= RBBR ) is contained in the first
volume of the Zab mo yang 6g (= ZMYT). See Zab mo yang 6g 11,pp.
323-371.
195 In order ot facilitate an understanding of what is discussed here,
the rest of the Eighth Theme is divided in seventeen parts:
To ripen what is not ripened ( ma smin pa smin par byed pa ).
The liberation of what has been ripened ( smin pa grol bar
byed pa ).
How the pracbce has to be done (ji Itar nyams su blangs ba ).
The practice by means of conception of meditational objects
( dmigs pa yul gjd blo can ).
The yoga of the continual action ( spyod pa la rgyun du byed pai
mal byor).
The yoga of the continual meditation ( sgom pa la rgyun du byed
pa `i mal 'byor) -
The yoga which preserves continuously the view ( Ita ba la rgyun
du byed pali mal 'byor )-
The yoga of the conbnual resuft ( 'bras bu la rgyun du byed pay
mal'byor).
356
The practice by means of conception of the seif-appearance of
Intelligence (rig pa rang snang gi blo can ).
The Arisal of the Four Visions ( snang ba bzhi)-
The definition of the Four Visions ( nges tshig ).
The Vision of the Immediate Perception of Reality Itself
( chos nyid mngon sum gyi snang ba ).
The Vision of Increasing Experiences ( nyams gong 'phel gjd
snang ba ).
The Vision of the Intelligence Reaching Its Peak (rig pa tshad
phebs kyi snang ba ).
The Vision of Exhaustion of Reality Itself ( chos nyid zad pali
snang ba ).
Texts treating the Four Visions.
196 This kind of exposition dealing with the characteristics of a worthy
recipient ( snod Idan) is called "detailed exposition of the worthy recipient" (
snod Idan gyi gang zag bye brag tu bshad pa ) in the seventeenth chapter
of the TCZ. See TCZ 11,pp. 145-147. The Four Empowerments ( dbang
bzhi) and the Commitments ( dam tshig) based on them are concisely
treated in the two parts called "Empoweffnents and the attendant
Commitments" ( dbang dang deli grogs dam tshig ) which are also
contained in the eighteenth chapter of the TCZ See TCZ If, pp. 196-198.
In contrast to the Tshig don bcu gcig pg the quintessential instruction
concerning the individual doing the practice ( gang gis nyams su len pa7
man ngag) of the RBBR - see ZMYT 1,pp. 323-326 - contains no
explanation of the qualibiesof the teacher and of the Four Empowerments
( dbang bzhi) and the various tantric commitments (dam tshig). Moreover,
the beginning of the part of the Tshig don bcu gcig pa called " liberation of
what has been ripened" ( by means of the Four Empowerments )( smin pa
grol bar byed pa ) is lacking here.

357
197 See TCZ I I, p. 196.
198 In the TCZ these two parts are contained in the part of the
seventeenth chapter dealing with "the certain way of how the practice has
to be done" ( ji Itar nyams su len pa I tshul nges pa ) which consists of the
same two parts as presented in the Tshig don bcu gcig pa. See TCZ 11,pp.
147-148. The other parts of "the liberation of what has been ripened" ( smin
pa grol bar byed pa ) are contained in the eighteenth chapter of the TCZ
See TCZ 11,pp. 198ff.
199 The practice by means of conception of meditational objects
( dmigs pa yul gyi bld can ) is treated in the part called "the real subject of
practice" ( nyams su blang ba I don dngos ) of the seventeenth chapter of
the TCZ. See See TCZ II, pp. 148ff.
In the RBBR - see RBBR pp. 326-327 - the way of how one is practising
only deals with the practice by means of conception of meditational objects
(dmigs pa yul gjd blo can). Moreover, unlike the TCZ or the Tshig don bcu
gcig pa, its four parts are classified as follows:
The yoga of the view ( Ita ba mal 'byor du bya ba ).
The yoga of the meditation (sgompa mal'byordubya ba).
The yoga of the action ( spyod pa mal 'byor du bya ba ).
The yoga of the result ( 'bras bu mal'byor du bya ba).
200 See also TCZll, p. 149, where four aspects are mentioned,
because the transformation of the afflictions ( nyon mongs gnasgyur ba )
is, in contrast to the TSh4 dOn bCu gc4 pa, accounted for as a distinct part.
The action of overpowering appearances ( snang ba dbang bsgyur ) of
fk,,, RBBR see RBBR, p. 356 - corresponds to the action of subduing

Uflu -
358
appearances ( snang ba dbang sdud W SPYOdPa) of the Tshig don bcu
gcig Pa. Moreover, the transformation of the afflictions ( nyon mongs gnas'
9yur ba) is in accordance with the Tshig don bcu gcig pa not denoted as
distinct part.
201 According to the TCZ p. 149, the action of subduing appearances
snang ba dbang sdud kyi spyod pa ) which is called here "the action of
overpowering appearances" ( snang ba dbang bsgyur gja spyod pa ) has
three aspects: The short explanation of the general action ( spyod pa spyili
ngo bo mdor bstan pa ), the detailed explanation of the certain great secret
(mantra) ( gsang chen nges pa 7 spyod pa rgyas par bshad pa), and the
action of the certain graduations ( go rims nges pa 7 sypod pas dus tshod
gzung ba ).
The action of beginners ( las dang po pa -1spyod pa), the Separation of
Samsara and Nirvana ( 'khordas ru shan), and the action of holding the
wind (as) yogic discipline ( bHuI zhugs lam du bsiang ba 7 spyod pa ) are
part of the action of the certain graduations.
The action of holding the wind (as) yogic discipline of the Tshig don bcu
gcig pa is included in the detailed explanation of the certain great secret
(mantra) of the TCZ. However, there one finds an explanation of twenty-
one aspects as explained in the Tantra Nyi z1akha sbyor instead of only
seven. See TCZ 11,p. 150:
1) The action which is similar to the action of a bee ( bung ba Ita buli spyod
pa ), 2) the action which is similar to the action of a dumb person ( Ikug pa
Ita bu 7 spyod pa ), 3) the action which is similar to the action of a swallow
( thi bya Ita buli spyod pa ), 4) the action which is similar to the action of a
(
madman srnyon pa Ita buY spyod pa ), 5) the action which is similar to the
action of a lion ( Seng ge Ita buY spyod pa ), 6) the action which is similar to
the action of a dog or a pig ( khyi phag Ita bu7 spyod pa ),7) the action
359
which is similar to the action of a beggar ( Idom pa Ita buiS'PYOdPa ),
8) the action which is similar to the action of a little boy ( bu chung Ita buli
Spyod pa ), 9) the action which is similar to the action of a camel ( rnga mo

I#-
bu
,L,:, I spyod pa ), 10) the action which is similar to the action of a elephant
( glang chen Ita M spyod pa ), 11) the action which is similar to the action
of a deer ( ri dwags Ita buli spyod pa ), 12) the action which is similar to the
action of a Chinese woman ( rgya mo Ita bu7 spyod pa ), 13) the action
which is similar to the action of a bear ( dred mo Ita M spyod pa),
14) the action which is similar to the action of a Brahman ( bram ze Ha M
spyod pa ), 15) the action which is similar to the action of a lord ( dbang po
Ita M spyod pa ),16) the action which is similar to the action of (writing)
letters in water ( chu yig Ita buY spyod pa ), 17) the action which is similar
to the action of a spear turnringround in the sky ( nam mkha7 mdung skor
spyod pa ), 18) the action which is similar to the action of the wind
(blowing) in the atmosphere ( bar snang Hung ldrali spyod pa ),
19) the action which is similar to the action of the bird Khyung ( bya
khyung Ita bu 7spyod pa ), 20) the action which is similar to a mountain
( ri bo Ita buli spyod pa ), and 21) the action which is similar to lightning
( ftg chen Ita bul spyod pa ).
According to the RBBR - see RBBR, p. 356 - the action of subduing
(
appearances snang ba dbang sdud kyi Spyod pa) which is called here
"the action of overpowering appearances" ( snang ba dbang bsgyur ) has
three parts: Beginner's action ( las dang po pa7 spyod pa) which
corresponds to the part of the Tshig don bcu gcig pa called "Avoiding the
Ten Unwholesome Actions" ( mi dge ba bcu ) and "Practising the Ten
Religious Activities" ( chos spyod bcu).
The Separating of Samsara.and Nirvana ( Whor 'das ni shan'byed pa 7
)
spyod pa and the action of holding the wind (as) yogic discipline (brtul
rjung 'dzin gyi spyod pa ) are more or less idenbcal with the same
zhLjgs
360
parts of the Tshig don bcu gcig pa.
202 The Ten Unwholesome Actions ( Mi dge ba bcu): Killing ( srog
9cod), taking what is not given (ma byin len), and engaging in sexual
misconduct ( mi gtsang spyod ) are the three physical unwholesome
actions. Lying ( rdzun smra ba ), uttering divisive talk ( phra ma ), harsh
words ( tshig rtsub), and gossiping ( ngag 'chal) are the four verbal
unwholesome actions. Covetousness ( bmab sems), ill-will ( gnod sems),
and wrong views ( log ita ) are the mental unwholesome actions.
The Ten Religious Activities ( chos spyod bcu): Copying texts ( yi ge bri
ba ), making offerings ( mchod pa ), giving alms ( sbyin pa ), listening to
teachings ( chos nyan pa ), reading the teachings ( klog pa ),
comprehending the teachings ( 'dzin pa ), explaining them to others ( rab
du ston pa ), reciting the teachings ( kha 'don byed pa ), contemplation
( sems pa ), and meditation ( sgom pa ).
203 It should be noted that the Separation of Samsara and Nirvana
represents the preliminaries of the practice by means of conception of
meditational objects ( dmigs pa yul g)d blo can ) as well as of the practice
by means of conception of the self-appearance of Intelligence (rig pa rang
snang gi blo can ).
The TCZ, too, does not treat the Separation of Samsara and Nirvana in
this chapter but gives only a condensed summary of it. In accordance with
the Tshig don bcu g6g pq the action of holding the wind (as) yogic
discipline ( brtul zhugs Hung 'dzin gyi spyod pa nyer gcig) has seven
aspects. See TCZII, P. 156.
204 This part is more or less identical with the same part of the RBBR.
However, here one finds an explanation of the Four Ways of Liberation
( grol lugs bzhi ), see RBBR p. 36 1.

361
205 These two parts are in reverse order in the TCZ. See TCZ 11,

209 The transformation of the afflictions ( nyon mongs gnas 'gyur ba )
is listed as fourth part of the yoga of action - see TCZ 11,p. 156 - but figures
not as a distinct part in both, the Tshig don bcu g6g pa and the RBBR.
210 See RBBR P. 363:
/'di'i dus na nyon mongs pa ye shes su gnasgyur te / nyon mongs su

211 This yoga consists of three parts: The meditation inseparably
joined with day and night ( sgom pa nyin mtshan kha sbyor), the method of
"the letting-be of the ocean" ( man ngag rgya mtsho cog bzhag ) as its
instrwtion, and the intention of appearance and existence

quintessential
363
emerging (as) ground ( snang sfid gzhi bzhengs kyi dgongs pa ) which is
treated in the text before the quintessential instruction.
In accordance with the yoga of action, here too, the TCZ see TCZ 11,
-
p. 157 - presents a fourth part called "sealing of afflictions" ( nyon mong pa
rgyas gdab pa) which is not accounted for as a distinct part in the Tshig
don bcu gcig pa and in the RBBR.
212 The Meditation inseparably joined with day and night (sgom pa
nyin mtshan kha sbyor) of the RBBR presents more or less the same three
parts as the Tshig don bcu gcig pa - the mental fixation (sems 'dzin ) of
gods and men ( 1hadang mili sems 'dzin ), the meditative stability ( byang
chub sems dpa 7 bsam gtan ) of a bodhisattva, and the intention of the ones
who have gone to bliss ( bde bar gshegs pali dgongs pa )- but the last one
is called in the RBBRIntention of placing appearance and eAstence in the
ground" ( dgongs pa snang srid gzhi bzhag) .
213 The mental fixation of gods and men ( Iha dang miY serns 'dzin ) is
listed as first of these three parts in the Tshig don bcu gcig pa. However,
the explanation about this fixation is given after having presented the
meditative stability ( bsam gtan) and the intention of the ones who have
gone to bliss ( We bar gshegs pa 7 c1gongs

pa ).
Moreover, in the Tshig don bcu gcig pa there is only given a sevenfold
form of it, whereas in the TCZ 11one finds twenty-one aspects ( lha dang
mi'isems'dzin nyishurtsagcig). See TCZ II, p. 157, for a detailed
description of them.
214 See TCZ 11,p. 162:
/ rang shar las / byang chub sems dpa'i bsarn gtan ni sems kyis
'dzin pa ma yin te // ngang ngam shugs kyis skye bao, / / goms nas

mams kyis spyod // rnam rtog ngang giS Med pa'o // des kyang don

215 In the TCZ this meditative stability is called "natural meditative
stability" ( rang bzhin gyi bsam gtan). See TCZ 11,p. 163.
216 See TCZ 11,p. 163.
/ sa la gnas pali bsam gtan ni sa'i dngos gzhi'i Ung nge 'dzin te rang sal

217 See TCZ 11,p. 163:

218 All of the four sessions of meditative stability ( bsam gtan gjd thun
bzhi) explained in the Tshig don bcu gcig pa - the session of meditative
stability cutting off the attachment to food ( zas 4i zhen pa bcad pa bsam
gtan gyi thun), the session of meditative stability cutting off attachment to
clothes ( gos kyi zhen pa bcad pa bsam gtan gyi thun ), the session of
meditative stability cutting off attachment to dreams ( rmi Jamgiy zhen pa
bcad pa bsam gtan gyi 1hun), and the session of meditative stability cutting
off attachment to karmic propensities ( bag chags kyi zhen pa bcad pa
bsam gtan gyi thun) - form part of the contrived meditative stability ( bcos
ma li bsam gtan ) of the TCZ.
However, it should be noted that the TCZ - see TCZ 11,pp. 163-164 -
presents only three sessions of meditative stability ( bsam gtan gyi thun
365
gsum): The session of meditative stability cutfing off the attachment to food
( zas kyi zhen pa bcad pa bsam gtan gyi thun ), the session of meditative
stability cutting off attachment to clothes ( gos kyi zhen pa bcad pa bsam
gtan gyi thun ), and the session of meditative stability cuffing off attachment
to dreams and karmic propensibes ( rmi lam dang bag chags kyi zhen Pa
bcad pa bsam gtan gyi thun ).

228 It should be noted, that the third part of the so called "giving
continuity to meditation" (sgom pa la rgyun du byed pal rnal 'byor ) is the
intention which is leaving (the Six Collections) in the ground of appearance
and existence ( dgongs pa snang srid gzhir bzhag ) and not the intenbon of
appearance and wastence emerging (as) ground ( snang srid gzhi bzhengs
kyi dgongs pa ) which is the intention associated with the yoga of the
conbnual aetion ( spyod pa la rgyun du byed pali mal byor). See the
beginning of the part named "giving continuity to meditation" ( sgom pa la

I
rgyun du byed pa 7 mal "byor ).
229 In accordance with the two preceding yogas, the TCZ - see TCZ
11,p. 185 - presents a fourth part called "natural purification of the
afflictions" ( nyon mongs gnas dag ) which is not accounted for as a
distinct part in the Tsh4 don bcu gcig pa and in the RBBR.
230 The vehicle of the :!ýrcivaka (nyan thos kyi theg pa), the
pratyekabuddha ( rang rgyal bal theg pa ), the bodhisattva ( byang chub
sems dpa I theg pa ), the kriyJ -tantra ( bya bal rgyud kyi theg pa ), the
caiycl-tantra ( spyod pai rgyud k)d theg pa ), the yoga-tantra ( mal 'byor
gyi rgyud kyi theg pa ), the mahci-yoga ( mal 'byor chen pol theg pa ), the
anu-yoga ( des su mat 'byor gyi theg pa ), and the Rdzugs chen ad-yoga
( rdzogs pa chen po shin tu mal "byorgyi theg pa ).
231 The views relying on words, holding onto assumptions (yid dpyod
'dzin pa) mentioned in the text are treated in the TCZ in a distinct part
called "the view looking at words and their meanings"( tshig don Ita ba -i
Ita ba ).
According to the TCZ see TCZ 11,

p. 186 - which quotes the Tantra Sgra
-
thal Igyur, seven such views or assumptions can be distinguished: The

369
assumption that (one's own view) forever is free Of something to be done (
ye nas bya bral du 'dod pa ), that it is forever liberated without effort ( 'bad
med ye grol du 'dod pa ), that it is dissimilar to the graduated guide of mind
( blo rim gong nas gong khrid la Itos nas fis mi 'drar 'dod
pa ), that it is beyond wholesome and negative actions ( dge sdig las Was
par 'dod pa ), that it is the Greatness of non-creation and non-arisal (of
anYthing) ( byaS med byung med Chenpor 'dod pa ), that it is the
Greatness of Unchangingness and natural Purity ( ma bsgyur rang dag
chen por 'dod pa ), and that it is the Greatness of Self-Ansing and Self-
Liberation ( rang shar rang grol chen pordod pa).
Klong chen rab 'byams then continues to say that fte-se seven views are
general views of the Mind Series (sems sde) and the Space Series
( klong sde ).
Moreover, from among the four views treated in the part called "the
natural view" ( rang bzhin gyi Ita ba) - see TCZ 11,p. 187 - the view of
..!kk ( 7 Ita ba ) that from the
abiding gnas pa assumes samsara.and nirvana are
very beginning beyond suffering, the transcendence of efforts having
causes and results is affiffned in the view of visual appearances ( mthong
dag gi Ita ba ), the natural view ( rang bzhin gyi Ita ba ) holds that the world
and eAstence appear in primordial liberation, and broad liberation from
extremes is emphasized in the uncontrived view ( bcos med kyi Ita ba).
These fbur views are considered to be false, because they are
assumptions and quintessential instructions which are not based on oral
transmission ( lung) and Tantras ( rgyud).
232 The specific view ( rang gi ita ba ) corresponds to the identification
of the meaning of ( Rdzogs chen ) itself ( rang gi don ngos gzung ) of the
TCZ - see TCZ 11,p. 186 - which consists of the same three parts: The
View of outer things ( phyi chos can la bIta ba ), the view of the inner reality
itself ( nang chos nyid la b1taba ), and the view of secret Intelligence
(gsang ba rig pa la bita ba).

370
By the way, the RBBR see RBBR, pp. 329-333 - treatS the sannethree
-
parts in its quintessential instruction of "the mountain-like letting-be" ( man
ngag ri bo cog bzhag ).
233 It's not yet clear to which textual source these four eyes must be
traced back. However, one probably is not wrong when one understands
them as aspects of the play of Intelligence ( r4 rtsal).
234 An explanation of the inseparable union of Space and Intelligence
( dbyings rig dbyer med) is presented in the Seventh Theme.
235 See RBBR, p. 329:
/ Itabal rang mal mthong bas yid dpyod blo Vi the tshom clang 'gal 'khrul
med par thag chod pas blo bde ba ri bo pho 'gyur med pa Ita bu ste /
236 Although there is no explicit distinction between the different parts
of this yoga, one can easily determine its three parts - the naturally pure
result ( rang bzhin mam dag gi 'bras bu), the quintessential instruction of
the "letting-be of Intelligence" ( deli man ngag tu rig pa cog gzhag gi Ita
ba ), and the primordial punityof the Three Forms of E)dstence" ( srid gsum
ka dag gi dgongs pa )- with the help of the TCZ
Moreover, all three parts of the naturally pure result of the RBBR - see
RBBR, p. 363 - are identical with the ones presented in the Tshig don bcu
gc4 pa, and gain, the fourth part of the TCZ - see TCZ 11,
p. 191 - called
"result of the Self-Liberation of the afflictions" ( nyon mongs rang groi gyi
'bras bu ) is not listed as specific part in the Tsh4 don bcu gcig pa and in
the RBBR.
237 In #* TCZ this part is called dmangs cham la phebs te mi Igyur

371
ba. See TCZ 11,p. 191.
238 See TCZII, P. 192:

241 Here, one's body, speech, and mind are refered to asrThree

the celesbal form.
242 Here ends the RBBR which does not treat the practice by means
372
of conception of the self-appearance of intelligence ( rig Pa rang snang 9i
blo can), and the TCZexplains this practice in its eighteenth chapter.
243 For a detailed explanation of the Cutting Through ( khregs chod)
see for instance TCZ 11,p. 252.
244 In the TCZ- see TCZII, p. 193 - is a clarification of the distinctive
superiority (of the Leaping Over) when compared with the common
vehides ( thun mong gi &eg pa las khyad par "phagspa 7 tshul nges par

An abbreviated translation of the passage quoted above runs as follows:
"Other vehicles present methods which are quickly realized by adepts
with sharp discrimination, but offer little chances to gain liberation for those
with a lesser capacity of understanding. This practice, however, shows the
way of liberation by means of the essence of the non-existence of either
sharp or dull intellectual capacities ( dbang po mo rtul med pali gnad) and
merely requires a certain amount of effort.
Other vehicles are based on mere assumptions about how they
understand Reality Itself ( chos nyid), and people doing their meditation of
mere emptiness ( stong sgom) are like people who throw a stone in utter
darkness. In contrast to these other vehicles or practices, this pracfice does
not rely on assumptions, because Reality Itself is present in its very
immediacy. Therefore, it is charactensed by the pith of not relying on
assumptions ( yid dpyod la mi Itos pali gnad).
Other vehicles need words to explain what is meant by Reality Itself and
hope that words will be of some help to make oneself realize its meaning.
On the other hand, here one actually sees the meaning of Reality Itself in
its very immediacy without relying on words. Therefore, one qualifies it as
having the pith of gaining Buddhahood without using words ( tshig gis
sangs mi rgya bali gnad ).
Other vehicles offer an analysis of the three aspects of their vehicle after
having made them an intellectual object. Here, one is not dependent on
mind-made proGedures, beGause the self-daity (rang gsal ) aGtually

suGh
This superionty is called "the pith of gaining Buddhahood without

manifests.
374
relying on a conceptual understanding of the ground, the way, and the
resulf ( blos byas rtog pa 7 lam la mi Itos par sangs rgya bai gnad ).
Other vehicles hold onto a temporal sequence of cause and result. Thus,
the enlightened mind ( byang chub sems) is sought for elsewhere,
because its resultant arisal has to be different from its initial cause.
Here, the enlightened mind arises from oneself without depending on
cause and result and its attendant discrimination of good and bad actions.
This is the significance of the pith without strenous efforts of acceptance
and rejection ( 'bad rtsol dang baing dor med pali gnad ).
Other vehicles propagate methods such as the manipulation of subtle
channels, winds, and drops ( rtsa Hung thig le) by means of which the
enlightened mind can only be realized when one is still young and in good
health. Here, on account of mere diligence, enlightened mind manifests out
of the Inner Space of the sun and moon of self-arisen Clear Light.
Therefore, this practice is characterised by the pith of gaining Buddhahood
without there being any restriction of age ( na so la rgan gzhon med pa grol
7
LAa gnad ).
Other vehicles assert the Three Buddha Bodies ( sku gsum ) as the
ultimate result. Because they arise here as appearances of the way, the
is
result made accessible by the pith of catching the permanent domain of
spontaneously perfect Intelligence in the space of the primordial purity of
the Clear Light ( 'od gsal ka dag gi klong du 1hungrub tig pa I gtan stid zin
pa 7gnad )."
f---
245 According to the TCZ - see TCZll, p. 199 - the preliminaries
( sngon 'gro ) consist of two parts:
The first, i.e., the rationale for the preliminaries ( srxjon 'groli Wwd pa ),
presents three parts which are not explicitly denoted:
The first rationale for doing the preliminaries is illustrated by the example
375
of someone who forms a picture of possible lurking-places in order to set
forth on an agreeable, carefree journey which represents in this example
the main part of the practice. The second one is given with the help of a
further example. Thus, having taken preventive measures like digging a
ditch in order to protect a hamlet in the border region, one is safeguarded
against any possible harm planned by enemies. Likewise, when one is
doing the main part of the practice, one feels at ease and has no anxiety at
all, because the well performed preliminaries lay the foundation for a
positive outcome of the main part. The third example uses the picture of a
frightening escort which is likened to the preliminaries, and the safe arrival
at the final destination without having lost one's possessions refers to the
main parL
The second, i.e., the main part of the preliminaries ( sngon 'gro dngos ),
has five parts:
What they are preceding ( gang gi sngon du 'gro ba ):
They are said to precede the transcendence of the samsaric world,
because they provide the connection with nirvana. Furthermore, it is
assumed that one Gannot go beyond samsara without having liberated the
attachments of body, speech, and mind beforehand. Thus, as these
preliminaries give the certainty of transcending the world by means of the
liberation from the fetters of body, speech, and mind, one calls them
"excellent preliminaries".
How they are ( srigon 'gro ji Itar yin ):
The single syllable sngon - "beforehand" - stands for their power to
liberate from the unwholesome actions one has accumulated beforehand

376
during countess aeons, and the double-syllable sngon du - "beforehand" -
refers to their capacity to purify all impure actions done by body, speech,
and mind during the intermediate state between death and rebirth
( bar srid). The assumptions that one has to go through these preliminaries
before one gets involved in the main part and that liberation from samsara
is effected by means of them without strain is represented by the double-
syllable gro ba - "go" -.
How they are exemplified ( dpe ci dang 'dra ba ):
There are two examples demonstrating the necessity of doing the
preliminaries: When a virtuous king urges his subjects to do something,
they don't have the power to not do it in the first place, and when one
intends to urge a horse to commence to galop, one has to dress it properly
beforehand.
Their purpose ( sngon 'grO dgos pa):
They facilitate the practice of the main part and give the confidence that
one will suceed in doing it.
Their detailed classification ( rab tu dbye ba ) has three parts:
1. The guide of the Three Buddha Bodies consisting of the teaching
of the Four Elementary Forces ( sku gsum gyi sna khrid par byed
pa "byung bzhi7 mal "byor la bstab pa ):
Kjong cheb rab 'byams quotes in this context the Tantra Sgra thal 'gyur
where it is said that the practitioner has to meditate on the sound of earth,
fire and wind in order to gain certainty about liberation. However, he

water,
does not give any specifics about this practice which seems tc) have the
377
Tantra mentioned above as its source.
2. The guide of Intelligence consisting of the teaching of the Action of
Separating Samsara and Nirvana ( rig pal sna 'khrid par byed pa
"khor'dasrushan 'byedpa I spyodla bslabpa) presents three
parts:
The purificabon of the body ( lus W sbyong ba).
The action of separating speech ( ngag ru shan 'byed pali
spyod pa ).
The purification of mind ( sems kyi sbyong ba ).
3. The guide of mind consisting of the teaching of the mode of being
of body, speech, and mind ( sems kyi sna 'khrid par byed pa lus
ngag jdd gsum gjd gnas lugs la bsiab pa ) consists of two parts:
The actual preliminaries ( sngon 'gro dngos),
Bringing down to naturalness ( mal dbab ).
246 The Three Actions of Separating Sarnsara.and Nirvana ( 'khordas
ni shan dbye ba 7 spyod pa gsum bya ba ) correspond to the part of TCZ
called "the guide of Intelligence consisting of the teaching of the Action of
Separating Samsara and Nirvana" ( rig pa 7 sna 'khrid par byed pa Whor
Vas ru shan Ibyed pali spyod la bsiab pa ).
247 In the TCZ - see TCZ 11,p. 204 - the Three Actions of Separating
Samsara and Nirvana ( Whordas ru shan dbYe bal spyod pa gsum bya
)
ba are followed by the the part called "main Part Of the Preliminaries"
sngon gro dngos ) which is missing in the text. This part and the "bringing
378
down to naturalness" ( rnal du dbab pa gsum) Constitutetogether the guide
of mind consisting of the teaching of the mode of being of body, speech,
and mind ( sems kyi sna 'khrid par byed pa lus ngag j4d 9sum 9yi gnas
lugs la bslab pa )-
By the way, the practices of the guide of Intelligence ( fig pali sna khrid
) emphasizes the necessity to distinguish between mind ( sems ) and

In-a
Intelligence ( rig pa ), whereas the guide of rnind ( sems W sna khrid pa )
enhances the identification of one's body ( lus), speech ( ngag ), and mind
( sems ) with the the Body ( sku ), Speech ( gsung ) and Mind ( thugs) of a
Buddha.
Concerning the main part of the preliminaries ( sngon 'gro dngos):
It consists of the practice of body, speech, and mind, but here, it is not
treated in detail. Nevertheless, Klong chen rab 'byams quotes here - see
TCZII,
p. 204 - the relevant passage of the Tantra, Sgrag thal 'gyur specifying its
different parts.
Thus, the practice of body ( Ids sbyang ba ) principally implies a
cross-legged posture ( dkyil krung ) and a standing position which
is compared to a three-pointed blue vajra.
The practice of speech ( ngag sbyang ba ) has four parts whereof
all exclusively use the sound HUNG:
Sealing (appearances) ( rgyas gdab pa
Refining ( rtsal sbyong).
Searching suppleness ( mnyen btsal ).
Entering the way ( lam du gzhug pa ).
The practice of mind ( sems sbyong ba ) presents three parts

379
meant to facilitate one's understanding of mind as being empty of
possessing an ultimate place of arising, dwelling, and going:
Searching the place of the arising of mind ( sems kyi byung sa )-
Searching the dwelling place of mind ( sems kyi gnas sa).
Searching the place where the mind is going to ( sems kyi gro sa ).
248 See TCZ 11,p. 205:
/ thun mong gi dgos pa ]us ngag yid gsum gyi bar chad zhi sdig sgrib'dag
go // mchog gi dgos pa ni sku gsung thugs gsum du grol ba /
249 The Arisal of the Four Visions ( snang ba bzhi) represents the third
and most important part of the four parts of the main part ( dngos
gzhi) of the Leaping Over ( thod rgal). The other three parts are: Piercing
the pith of body, speech, and mind ( lus ngag yid kyi gnad gzir ba ), the
mode of relying on the meaning of the Immediate Perception of Reality
Itself ( chos nyid mngon sum gyi don mal 'byor pai rgyud la ji Itar brten
pa ), and the quintessential instruction of the final support ( mtharten gyi
man ngag) .

275 The songs of the grul bum children are famed for their
incomparable beauty.The grul bum itself is said to be a kind of hungry
ghost ( yi dwags ) having a human body but an animal head.
276 The three humours of Tibetan Medicine are phlegm ( bad kan),
bile ( mkhtis pa), and wind ( Hung ).
277 The term "Six Kinds of Beings" ( rigs drug) refers to the gods
( 1ha), anti-gods ( Iha min), human beings ( mi), animals ( byol song),
hungry ghosts ( yi dwags ), and hell beings ( dmyal ba ). The specifics
about the seventeen appearances ( snang ba bcu bdun), however, are
unknown to me.
278 According to the general bar do teachings, the "inner breathing"
-a kind of subtle energy flowing in the subtle channels - ceases at the
moment when the red and white essences of mother and father meet in the
energy-centre of the heart of a dying person. Their meeting is
accompanied by the emergence of the red and white essences from the
upper and lower apertures of the body in the form of blood and semen. .
279 The twenty-one marks of death ( 'chi rtags nyer gcig ) are
mentioned in the Tantra Sgra thal "gyur and another list of quite a few
marks can be found in the Tantra Nyi z1akha sbyor which is said to be the
primary source of the bar do teachings. The second part of it has been
translated intD English by Giacomella Orofino,in her publication Sacred
Tibetan Teachings on Death And Liberation. See bibliography.
398
280 "At this time" referes; to the time of the third dissolution, i. e., the
Dissolution of the Clear Light Into the Union ( 'od gsal zung jug la thim pai
fshe ). This dissolution - see BMYT 11,p. 207 - presents itself in the Five
Days of Meditative Stabibility ( bsam gtan gyi zhag Inga). However, it is
not explicitly mentioned in the text and also an explanation of its aspects
is lacking there.
According to the BMYT the time for the application of the Three Kinds of
Piths is rather the time of the third dissolution
281 "Placing Light into Intelligencer is not explained in the text.
282 Concerning 'od sku or 'od lus - "body of light"- see the Eleventh
Theme.
283 The Three Piths of Confidence ( yid ches pa I gnad gsum ) are the
pith which is like placing a child into the lap of the mother, the pith which is
like a golden surgical needle, and the pith which is like the arrow of an
athlete that is never coming back.
284 The term Iheart-Wind" ( spying Hung) refers to mental depressions
caused by a disturbance of winds ( Hung ),whereby lymph ( bad kan )
accumulates in the heart.
285 The phrase " Furthermore, the Combination of the Four Pristine
Cognitions arises at this time at the level of one's heart" refers to the fourth
dissolution called "Dissolution of the Union Into Pristine Cognition" ( zung
1.
shes la thim pa ) as presented in the BMYT See BMYT 11,
p. 208.

286 The Dissolution Into the Body of Precious Spontaneous Perfection
( rig ga nyid 1hungrub fin po cheY lus la tim pali tshe) is more or less
identical With the Dissolution of Pristine Cognition Into the Precious
Spontaneous Perfection ( ye shes la 1hungrub rin po che la thim pa ), i.e.,
the fifth dissolution of the BMYT. See BMYT 11,p. 209.
287 According to the TCZ - see TCZII, p. 457 - the set of Thirty-Six
Aspects of Capacity ( mngon shes pa dnig phrag drug) is an amplification
of a set of Six Aspects ( mgnon shes drug ) consisting of:
1) The Capacity of Sense-Organ ( dbang poli mngon shes), 2) the
Capacity of Pliancy of Mind (sems las su rung ba I mgnon shes), 3) the
Capacity of Power of Discriminative Awareness ( shes rab la dbang ba7
mngon shes), 4) the Capacity of Pure Vision of Pristine Cognition
( ye shes 4i mMong ba dag pa 7 mngon shes ), 5) the Capacity of
Incontroversible Reality Itself ( chos nyid ci ma log pa mthong bali ye
,-h es ), and 6) the Capacity of Incontrovertible Buddha-KnovAedge ( sangs

I.,
r9yas kyi mkhyen pa phyin ci ma log pal mngon shes).
288 The Six Aspects of Recollection ( jjes su dran pa dnig )- see TCZ
11,p. 456 - are: 1) Recollection of the Deity ( 1harjes su dran pa ), 2)
Recollection of the Ways ( lam mams ries su dran pa), 3) Recollection of
Former Places of Birth ( skyes gnas ries su dran pa ), 4) Recollection of
Meditative Stabibilities ( bsam gtan mams rjes su dran pa), 5)
Recollection of the Quintessential Instructions of the Teachers ( bla mali
man rigag ijes su dran pa), and 6) Recollection of the vision ( Ita ba jles
su dran pa )-
289 Usually, two extreme notions are distinguished, Le-, the extremes
(
of eternalism rtag Ita ) and nihilism ( chad Ita ).
400
290 Four kinds of birth ( skye ba bzhi) are distinguished: Miraculous
birth ( brdzus las skyes ba ), birth through a womb, ( mngal las skye ba ),
birth from an egg, ( sgo las skye ba ), and birth from heat and moisture
( drod gsher las skye ba )-
291 Animals ( byol song ), hell beings ( myai ba ), and hungry ghosts
( yi dwags ).
292 The number of the Three-Thousandfold Universes ( stong gsum)
amountsto 10063.
293 An extensive explanation of the Three Realms ( khams gsum ) can
be found in Lati Rinbochay, (1983), Meditative States in Tibetan
BuddhisM pp. 15-133.
294 See TCZ 11,p. 64, where one finds a passage that confirms that
these pure visions can actually be experienced in this very life by an
exceedingly diligent practitioner although they are usually only seen during
the intermediate state of Reality Itself on account of Intelligence being
heavily obscured by conditioned rrAnd( sems) while one is still alive:

297 The tenn "Upper Directness" ( yar gyi zang thal) denotes the
attainment of Buddhahood without going through the following phases of
the intermediate state of Reality Itself ( chos nyid kyi bar do) and of the
Intermediate State of Becoming ( sfid pal bar do).
298 Concerning the Five Aspects of Discriminative Awareness
( shes rab Inga) see the Third Theme.
299 See the Eleventh Theme.
300 According to the BMYT, the Eightfold Arisal which is followed by its
Eightfold Dissolution ( thim lugs brgyad) consists of the arisal of
compassion ( thugs rje ftar shar ba ), of light ( 'od Itar shar ba ), of the
Buddha-Body ( sku Itar shar ba ), of Pristine Cognition ( ye shes Itar shar
ba ), of non-duality ( gnyis med itar shar ba ), of the liberation from
(
extremes mtha'grol Itar shar ba ), of the impure samsaric door ( ma dag
pa 'khor bal sgo Itar shar ba ), and of the door of pure Pristine Cognition
406
( dag pa ye shes kyi sgo Itar shar ba )-
301 A clear explanation of the Five Buddha-Bodies ( sku Inga ), i.e., the
dharmak,iya ( chos sku), the sambhogakciya ( longs sku), the
nirmapak5ya ( sprul sku ), the Unstained Body of Great Bliss (zag med pa
bdebachenpo7sku), and the Vajra-l3ody(rdojje7sku )js given in the
YZHZ, where it is said that, as for their essence, the last two are identical
with the former three. However, with regard to ffieir qualifies ( yon tan) they
are understood to be different. Thus, the Unstained Body of Great Bliss
which is identical with the Body of the Essence Itself ( ngo bo nyid k)d sku
represents the quality of the all-pervasiveness or essence of the Three
Buddha-Bodies, and the Vajra-Body emphasizes the quality of
indestructibility of full enlightenment. See YZHZ, p. 695:

302 As for the Ten Powers of a Tathagata ( bde bzhin gshegs pali
stobs bcu ): 1) Knowing what is and what is not ( gnas dang ma yin pa
I
mkhyen pa stobs ), 2) knowing the ripening of karma ( las kyi mam smin
mkhyen paY stobs), 3) knovAng the various aspirations of sentient beings
( mos pa sna tshogs mkhyen pal stobs ), 4) knowing the various
dispositions ( khafns sna tshogs mkhyen pa7 slobs), 5) knowing the
higher and lower capacities of sentient beings ( dbang po mchog dman
7
mkhyen pa stobs ), 6) knowing the way that leads everywhere ( Mams
cad du 'gro ba I lam mkhyen pali stobs), 7) knowing things such as
meditative staUflization, liberation, meditative absorption, and equanimity

407
( bsam gtan mam thar Ung 'dzin snyoms Yugsogs mkhyen pa 7stobs ),
8) knowing previous lives ( sngon gnas rjes dran mkyhen pali stobs),
9) knowing death, transference, and rebirth ( 'chi 'pho dang skye ba
mkyhen pal stobs), and 10) knowing the exhaustion of the defilements
( zag pa zad pa mkhyen pai ye shes).
The Four Aspects of Fearlessness ( mi jigs pa bzhi ) are:
1) Fearlessness in one's perfect realization (of all that is) ( Hogs pa phun
tshogs la mi jigs pa), 2) fearlessness in one's perfect rejection (of all
defilements) ( spangs pa phun tstwgs la mi jigs pa ), 3) fearlessness with
regard to the revelation of impediments ( bar du gcod pali chos bstan pa la
mi jigs pa ), and 4) fearlessness with regard to the instruGbons on the way
that causes to arise what is (ultimately) certain ( nges par 'byung bali lam
bstan pa Jami Yigspa ).
The (Four) Immeasurables ( tshad med pa) consist of:
1) Love ( byam pa ), 2) compassion ( snying tie ), 3) joy ( dga'ba ),
and 4) equanimity ( btang snyoms).
The (Four) Applications of Mindfulness ( dran pa nye bar gzhag pa ) refer
to:
1) The body ( lus dran pa nyer gzhag ), 2) feeling ( Ww ba dran pa nyer
gzhag), 3) mind ( sems dran pa nyer gzhag ), and 4) the teachings
( chos dran pa nyer gzhag ).
303 The Bi ma snying thig consists of five main parts called "Golden
Letters" ( gser yig can ), "Copper LetteW ( zangs yig can ), 'Variegated
Lefters"( khrayig can), "Conch Shell Lefters"( dung yig can), and
"Turquoise Lefters" ( gyu yig can ). See also John M. Reynolds, (19M),
passim.
304 The Instruction Series (man ngag sde ) which is the highest of the
Three Series ( sde gsum), is divided into Four Cycles: The Outer Cycle
408
( phyi skor ), the Inner Cycle ( nang skor ), the Secret Cycle ( gsang
skor ) and the Secret Unsurpassable Cycle ( gsang ba bla na med pai s
kor), also named "Heart Essence" ( Spying thig).
Usually, the Outer Cycle is likened to the trunk of a body, the Inner one to
the eyes, the Secret one to the heart, and the Secret Unsurpassable one to
the whole body. With other words, only the Secret Unsurpassable Cycle is
taken to represent the ultimate and complete teaching of Rdzogs chen.
Original sources dealing with the subtle differences between these Four
Gydes are exceptionally rare and the extant ones give only general and
rather concise imformation about the subtle differences between them.
See for instme GTHZ p. 368f.

Appendix 1:The Tshig don bcu gclg pa:
The text "The Eleven Themes" (Tshig don bcu gcig pa ) by Klong chen
rab 'byams consists of 65 pages and is contained in the fourth volume of
the four volumes of the Heart-Essence of Vimalamitra ( Bi mai spying
thig) which itself forms part of the the Spying thig ya bzhi.
The following transliteration (Wylie) of the Tshig don bcu gcig pa is based
on the edition by Trulku Tsewang , Jamyang and L. Tashi (New Delhi,
1970) which presents the Spying thig ya bzhi in eleven volumes.
As it is the case with all the following transliterations of the Tibetan texts
found in the appedices, there is no intention to give a critical or
comparative edition of the Tshig don bcu gcig pa. However, in order to
facilitate the reading of this text, the beginning of each of its Eleven
Themes is marked with bold letters.

The following transliteration of the whole thirteenth chapter of the Theg
pali mchog fin po chel mdzod (= TCZ) is based on the Sde-dge edition
(Gangtok, 1983) of this text. The introductory part of its thirteenth chapter
gives an overview of the Four Lamps ( sgron ma bzhi) and is followed by
the main part which deals in detail with them. The beginning of both parts
as well as the beginning of the four sections of the second part are marked
with bold letters.

A dissertation submitted to Sixty4our thousand

the University of Bristol and four hundred

give an account of what is meant by lights or lamps ( sgron ma ) and

( snang ba bzhi). Another short account of a set of Six Lamps is presented

in Chagmd 1988, pp. 180-189. Quite detailed explanations of the Four

Visions can be found in Padmasambhava 1998, pp. 244-255; Chagm6

overview of what is meant by lights or lamps and visions. Neither do they

studies on this subject.

Fairly detailed accounts of the ground ( gzhi) are given in Gyatso,

3 This idea is nicely presented in Guenther 1989, p. 198.

Traditionally, six such views or claims are distinguished. See

Kongtrul Lodr6 Tay,6 1995, p. 204.

Vehicles ( theg pa dgu) of the Old School of Tibetan Buddhism ( Rnying

ma ) is given in Reynolds 1989, pp. 32-34. For a detailed account of these

vehicles see Dudjom 1991.

7 It was Guenther who first drew attention on the problem of how to

1977, p. 156, no. 38.

of this dissertation to the way of the Instruction-Class ( man ngag sde) of

to lack somewhat the inseparability of the three aspects of the ground.

Overviews of the Three Series ( sde gsum) are presented in Thondup,

of these series see Dudjom 1991, pp. 319-345.

For concise explanations of the Cutting Through ( khreqs chod)

Through. A quite detailed account of the Cuffing Through alone is

presented in Dudjom Lingpa 1994, passim

10 Traditionally, one distinguishes seven aspects of superiority. About

these seven aspects see TCZ 11,p. 304.

11 This is clearly stated in Karmay 1988a, p. 193.

12 See Chagm6 1998, pp. 180.

that the ground arising as outward appearances is not something material-

translation of the relevant passage see Guenther 1992, p. 73.

14 As Gyatso - see Gyatso 1998, pp. 203-204 - rightly remarks, the

inner potentiality of the ground as symbolized by the Youthful-Vase-Body

presence of Buddhahood in the physical body. Unlike the tath,5gatagarbha

the Youthfu.1-Vase-Bodyis not merely understood as seed of Buddhahood

which has to be developed somewhat, but rather as a well which readily

definitely everything which is impermanent.

A succinct elucidation of the terms tath5gatagarbha and sugatagarbha in

the context of the general Mahjyjna Buddhism can be found in Guenther

sugatagarbha was developed in the Rdzogs chen thinidng is given in

criticism made against this idea as understood in Rdzogs chen. Basicýly, it

to dwell in the middle of the heart - which is rejected in such criticism.

15 See the Sixth Theme.

16 See Guenther 1992, p. 86.

17 A diagram presenting the "overall version of the lamps" and some

detailed explanation of its various sets see the Sixth Theme.

18 An index of the whole Rdzogs chen section of The Hundred

Adtshamsbrag edition of these Tantras is contained in Appendix IV.

19 About the Three Series ( sde gsum) see note 8.

handed down through a short transmission of treasure texts ( gter ma ) and

a long transmission of canonical texts ( bka'ma). The first one refers to

texts which are said to have been concealed by Padmasambhava, his

held to have been discovered by incarnations of their students to whom

corpus of tantric texts supposed to have been translated by

Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra.and others in the eighth and ninth century

treasure ( gter ma) tradition is given in Thondup 1986.
