Immeasurable Phenomena

~ DudjomTersarNgondro
Pema Osel Ling Retreat Center Shrine Room


All immeasurable phenomena can be synthesized into the two categories of samsara and enlightenment.

To take the immeasurable phenomena of samsara and enlightenment into the path of enlightenment by sustaining the effortless beginningless openness of dharmadhatu, what is found?

Just as they arise, they do not exist in reality because they are manifestation. Whenever the phenomena of whatever one has, says, or thinks arise, even if one thinks of them for many eons, they are just arising; there is no reality.

Even whenever one sleeps, it is still sustaining in dharmadhatu, because even sleep is the unobstructed state.

Whenever dreams arise, there is no dream, because one is just staying in sole awareness mind. Like a bed, one is there relaxing. In unobstructed space, whatever comes, just as it arises, there is nothing exact, not any reality.

In summary, the outer container of the universe and the inner essence of sentient beings, all states of happiness and suffering, and so on that depend on the interdependent connection between root circumstances and contributing circumstances are rooted in the mind of duality, which creates everything.

Manifestation of Spontaneous Presence

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

pe-gyal-lingpa-w-hhdr

The manifestation of spontaneous presence of the appearance of the basis is not recognized, this becomes the origin of the descent into the interdependence of samsara. The empty essence of one’s mind is Dharmakaya; the natural radiance is Sambhogakaya; and the all-pervasive quality of compassion is Nirmanakaya. By not recognizing one’s Three Kaya nature that abides as the basis, this nature becomes dormant. By becoming ignorant of the manifestations of the Three Kayas, the root of all passions, the three poisons arise. As these three increase, the skandhas, elements, sense sources, and so on, and all phenomena of the outer universe and inner essence of beings of cyclic existence appear. By the power of practicing on the path, all these appearances transform into the qualities of the path of the Three Kayas. The sign of this is the arising of the experiences of bliss, clarity, and nonconceptuality. These three experiences indicate the reversal of cyclic existence and the ascent to the Three Kayas
