The Great Secret of Mind

(Chris Devlin) #1

of emptiness, apparent yet not truly existent. Those forms are the path, and
traversing it there is neither hatred of an enemy nor love for a friend, neither hope
for nirvana nor fear of samsara. Moreover, when our potential for such meditation
is realized, both samsara and nirvana are bound together in the one cosmic seed,
free of all conceptual elaboration, and whatever we have specified, focused on,
imagined, referenced, or elaborated will gradually vanish, like mist dissipating in
the sky. The meditation will become increasingly unchanging, the view of
dharmakaya as empty pure presence will be revealed, and with this the
obscurations of semen, ovum, and energy flows (that is, basic gender dualism),
which are very fine dualisms of karmic propensity, are abandoned: here, it is as if
dust, haze, and darkness were eliminated from the summer sky. And we arrive at
the place where all experience is consummate and all intellection exhausted.
In The Chariot of Omniscience, Jigme Lingpa quotes this verse:


The yogin freed, like the sun rising at dawn,
The dharmakaya appears. Wah! Wah!

The body dissolves into its quantum-level constitution; mind vanishes into
dharmakaya and buddha!
