Hi Jayasara
I love these teaching,s .....WE keep letting go of the doer,little by little; there is nothing to gain there is always just letting go and letting the absolute shine through.
It,s extremely hard to see this,Ramana maharshi said that once you awaken you will laugh at the whole thing....
because it has always been right in front of you....like looking for your glasses when they are on your nose.....Thank you dear sister....
The way certain phrases are repeated seems to increase alertness and mindfulness, cut through the sometimes thick dullness like a little slap in the face.
A little like David Whites’s poetry.
Thanks so much for clearing the darkness with such penetrating light.
The highlight of my evening is listening to the wisdom of your channel. Thank you.
When you practice it. It is wisdom. Otherwise is knowledge your obtaining. Knowing and experienceing buy doing it are different
Thank you for this sublime, price less gift 💐🌼🌷
Your the sublime priceless gift .. not a bundle of verbs and ideas... whom would think words are priceless? Look closely 👀 free of fixation? Who would know ?
Dissolve, dissolve, Rejoice, rejoice!
Thank you
I had a hard time with this one and almost went to another recording of the "Treasury" series here. But something in me stayed my hand so I listened to it all. Slowly I felt things shifting. My awareness spied at my depth my intent & desire to achieve something with meditation, to have something happen. And that part of me was rather squirming at this #5 of the "Treasury."
But over time of listening to this and of the practice, and thanks be to Jayasāra, now I'm sinking alertly into inner silence, into observing the rising and falling of dynamic energy, of inquiring into who is inquirying-- nobody but our primordial self, and in all that, letting go better of expectation. Like I can see the emptiness of expectation and this child-like happiness wells up at the discovery. Even then I see the emptiness of that joy. Not empty in a negative sense but emptiness of vast space.
Thank you so much, Longchenpa. You hear me in spirit.
Thank you so much, Samaneri Jayasāra.

I think this is the correct text:
Chapter: Natural Meditative Stability:
Awakened mind is by nature primordially pure.
The true nature of phenomena is such that there is nothing to discard or adopt, nothing that
comes or goes, nothing to achieve by trying.
Rather, the sun and moon of utter lucidity arise when one rests naturally in the spacious
expanse that is the true nature of phenomena.
Without sense objects being blocked or mind being reified,
if there is no straying from natural state of spontaneous equalness
you arrive at the enlightened intent of supreme spaciousness, Samantanbhadra
Without the arising and subsiding of thoughts, there is a naturally limpid, pristine state, like the unwavering evenness of a limpid ocean.
Free of the occurrence of or involvement in thoughts, free of hope or fear, you abide within the state of naturally occurring timeless awareness, the true nature of which is profoundly lucid.
Without the compulsions of ordinary mind,
there is an unfeigned state-a natural settling, uncontrived and unadulterated-
though it cannot be characterised with words.
This absorption in the expanse of being, the true nature of which cannot be characterised, involves neither meditation nor something to meditate on,
and so laxity and agitation dissipate naturally, and enlightened intent occurs naturally.
All-consuming thought patterns cannot be abandoned by being renounced,
for they are the dynamic energy of awareness.
Their true nature is such that there are no distinctions, nothing to differentiate or exclude,
so that nature is not ensured by achievement, but arises as basic space.
Without rejecting samsara, you perceive it to be naturally occurring
timeless awareness through the pure yoga of dynamic energy of the vast expanse of being.
In the timeless unity of sensory appearances and mind-
the naturally settled state that is the true nature of phenomena-
meditative absorption is experienced as an unwavering, ongoing flow.
Thus, the vajra pinnacle, the most excellent enlightened mind of
Samantabhadra, is the most sublime, spacious state, equal to space.
The most sublime meditation of all involves no differentiation or exclusion.
It is spontaneously present as the superb, timelessly infinite monarch.
The ongoing flow of utter lucidity, timeless and omnipresent,
is spontaneously present within this context, in which nothing is discarded or adopted,
and so it is the most sublime enlightened intent- the basic space of phenomena,
the nature of samsara and nirvana.
This vast expanse, unwavering, indescribable, and equal to space,
is timelessly and innately present in all beings.
It is the ordinary confused mind that perceives
sensory appearances to be something other than oneself.
It is the ordinary confused mind that believes in meditation and making an effort.
The true nature of confusion is the realm of equalness, the natural state of rest -
the natural expanse that is unwavering and primordially pure.
There is nothing to do and no effort to make- whether or not you are
resting is irrelevant.
Given the unchanging, spontaneously present nature of phenomena,
if you look again and again with self-knowing awareness,
free of any complicating conceptual framework,
you will see that there is nothing to look at.
Nothing to look at- this is the view of omnipresent awareness.
Given awareness, which is not cultivated in meditation and in which
nothing is discarded or adopted, if you meditate again and again,
you will see that there is nothing to cultivate in mediation.
Nothing to cultivate in meditation - this is the meditation of omnipresent
awareness.
Given the way of abiding, non-dual and free of acceptance and rejection,
if you engage in conduct again and again,
you will see that there is no conduct to enact.
No conduct to enact- this is the conduct of omnipresent awareness.
Given spontaneous presence, timelessly ensures and free of hope and fear,
if you strive to achieve again and again,
you will see there is nothing to achieve.
Nothing to achieve - this is the fruition of omnipresent awareness.
Within the state of equalness, there are no thoughts about sense objects
and no reification of ordinary mind,
so the occurrence of and involvement in hope and fear are pacified.
Abiding in the equalness of sense objects and mind means that,
as a matter of course, there is no straying from the expanse
that is the true nature of phenomena.
One abides in an omnipresent state in which what are characterised as
sense objects do not exist as objects.
Since there is omnipresent awareness, timeless and non-dual,
within the state of great perfection-the indivisibility of samsara and
nirvana-everything is in a state of infinite evenness, without acceptance or rejection.

I'm wondering if it would ever be possible to print the words to your readings under the videos? Apart from that, your videos are not just among the best things on TH-cam but on the net!
Kindly click the CC button to get printed words.
@@oooltra Hi Ooltra - thanks, yes I know there's that option. I just thought it would be nice to have the entire printed text available at once. But that's ok. Perhaps some time later this year I'll have time to post some of them (as people often do with song lyrics or poetry).
Thank you!
@@oooltra thanks for inspiring me! I just looked it up and I think I posted the correct text.
@@leatui7 I figured you already knew, but better too much info than not enough. I look forward to reading your transcriptions!
@@oooltra Thanks again!

Thank you for these wonderful recordings... I do have a question about awareness please: does it feel joy? If it is neutral and is love, love is not neutral is it? What role does awareness play in emotions of love, joy, appreciation, bliss, gratitude etc etc (emotions that are high up the scale of happiness)? Is that not who I am?
There are so many different ideas of what love is and it depends what you mean by the concept. As an emotion it is time bound and transient and often dependent on subject and object relations. However, pure Awareness is the essence of pure Love. But this type of love is not really something one can explain or talk about - it transcends all concepts and must be realised directly.
I like Nisargadatta's explanation of this. He says: "Awareness is dynamic, love is being. Awareness is love in action."
In Lonchenpa's paradigm, it would be the manifestation of the nirmanakaya - the pure compassionate/love response for the liberation of sentient beings - the dynamic responsiveness and energy that is inseparable from the Dharmakaya - the unmanifested Absolute.
Hope this helps somewhat
@@SamaneriJayasara I found it a great reply to a question I hadn't even considered. Very grateful for your efforts on this channel ♥️
I have found some use in Jiddu K's method of pointing out that what we *consider* love, joy, gratitude etc by traditional thought structure always comes with envy, sadness, judgement other conflicting opposites and always in regards to circumstance.
Though we typically consider such things as positive and highest in human experience/emotion, it can be argued that the nature of their opposites are "fragmented" due to their inevitable conflict. Funnily enough something similiar is echoed in a bible passage. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (What we *believe* love is has it's opposite in fear, this isn't "true" love as it divides us)
I just take this to mean uncontrived awareness being inherently "whole" and before any method of categorization or need of belief, has no opposite and is itself perfect "love." And that which can truly be called Bliss, Peace, Joy and Happiness are before those "positive" words, ideas and associations in that naked awareness. "True" Love and what we are is of itself, without circumstance and cannot be the ideas we attempt to characterize it by. Look to that if you wish to know who you are.
@@SamaneriJayasara Love these videos so much. Question, by any chance , do these recordings count as a lung? Are you a Dzogchen practitioner? Thanks
How is the phrase "enlightened intent" understood in the above? Thanks
Hi there, best to let Longchenpa himself explain that term as it is quite a unique term used mainly in translations of his. He says: "The natural abiding of enlightened intent is meditative absorption as a state of resting imperturbably. If the characteristics of ordinary consciousness do not stir in the mind, that itself is enlightened intent."
So...we could say that if one turns the mind continuously towards the Deathless element - the natural abiding of Awareness itself - and stands upon that, one can attain final fruition, or the supreme awakening. The enlightened intent is this "intention" to recognise and to naturally abide in this awareness which is self-liberating. Hope that helps clarify somewhat.
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you, very clear.
can someone link me the music at the end?
