Kalu Rinpoche | Stages in the path of illusion – Sgyu Ma Lamrim (85-88)

So, I will read a few sentence from Niguma’s teaching.

So, I mean of course there’s many things that she have mentioned, but I will just read one, few lines, you know? I will read only one, few lines.

Yes, this one. Okay so this is, you know, something I saved for all of you.

[86.] Practicing illusion-like experience
with regard to all illusion-like phenomena,
there is no frame of reference for truly existent phenomena,
virtuous, non-virtuous, or indeterminate.
This is the direct revealing of phenomena branch of enlightenment.

[85.] Since illusion, which is beyond intellect,
involves no deliberate application of mindfulness,
all phenomena are seen as nonentities.
This is the mindfulness branch of enlightenment.

I think this one is very meaningful, here, you see that?

[85.] Since illusion, which is beyond intellect,
involves no deliberate application of mindfulness,
all phenomena are seen as nonentities.
This is the mindfulness branch of enlightenment.

So that’s the one thing I saved for you.

And the second one is this one:

[88.] Since joy and sorrow are eradicated
with regard to illusion, which is free from rejection or acceptance,
joy about habitual phenomena is not aroused in the disciplined mind.
This is the joy branch of enlightenment.

And the other one:

[87.] Since all concepts are eradicated
in illusion, which is free from all fixation,
striving without accepting or discarding phenomena
is the diligence branch of enlightenment.

So this is the book from the Niguma, Lady of Illusion, you know, which is the founder of my Shangpa order, which is the, you know, the female enlightened being, you know, a great yogini.
