“Illusionary body and mind” I find it a very beautiful teaching. I find it very beautiful and not so complex visualisation. Those who have a good memory to memorise things, you can meditate along with it. Those who have so so memory, if you have less than 1 terabyte, and then make sure you make a note.
So mainly it goes with the refuge, the “Illusionary body and mind”. It starts with the refuge.
So you may wonder how to practice “Illusionary body and mind” and then you can just simply like write down the note of what I am explaining and then you can practice, visualise, in your own home, wherever you are.
But make sure there is a refuge and a dedication and Bodhicitta.
You can also connect this one with the “Cleansing AH”. Like an example, you can do the refuge followed by “Cleansing AH” and then the “Illusionary body and mind”.
So basically what you are practicing about “Illusionary body and mind” is very much like the main primary visualisation. So there is additional visualisation as well that we will come to later on. But enough you to understand the blessing and the practice of “Illusionary body and mind”.
Okay, so we are going to start with the prayer to the Buddha, mandala and so on, as a proper Dharma session.
