In this second lesson, Lama Alan Wallace orients us within the utter profundity of Düdjom Lingpa’s view, from the start of The Sharp of Conscious Awareness Tantra–that of trekchö, or cutting through to pristine awareness. Lama Alan’s initial commentary on Phase 1 of the root text, “Taking the Impure Mind as the Path,” reveals how The Sharp Vajra of Conscious Awareness Tantra outlines a direct and concise encapsulation of the complete path to achieving rainbow body. We learn how timely the root text is, prophesied for the very world we live in, and how working with the mind itself can open the space of bliss, luminosity and clarity–a doorway to the path of Buddhahood. Lama Alan introduces us to sadhana practice on Avalokiteśvara, with guidance through a practice text composed by the great seventeenth-century Tibetan master, Karma Chagme Rinpoche. Lama Alan explains that sadhana practice can support our relationship with root text, to grasping its meaning. For those who have received the empowerment of The Lake-Born Vajra, Lama Alan offers guided recitation through both the short and medium length sadhana texts. Please note that the link to content relating to practice on The Lake-Born Vajra, is strictly for those who have received the empowerment from Lama Alan, or another qualified lama. Please respect these samaya restrictions.
