Deepening the View of Mahāmudrā Practice these exercises once you are able to maintain the view of Mahāmudrā continuously. Level One: Mindfulness - Smṛiti Emptiness Insight Meditation: See the Empty Nature of Appearances 1. Reflect on the empty nature of appearances, confident in it, and maintain the view of Mahāmudrā as you keep your mind meditatively absorbed on its own nature. 2. You spontaneously and directly perceive the emptiness of appearances. Benefits: Your thoughts and emotions are naturally pacified, and you experience the first bliss of Mahāmudrā, Bliss. Time: 1 hour. Level Two: Beyond Mindfulness - Asmṛiti Mind Only Insight Meditation: See Appearances as Mind Only 1. Through analytical questioning, ask yourself about the relationship between your mind and body. Do they exist as separate from each other? Does the mind inhabit the body, enclosed by it? Is the body simply another mental projection of the mind? Determine with certainty that your body is a mental projection. 2. In meditative tranquility, you spontaneously and directly perceive your body as a projection of your mind. 3. Look at an object. See that it is simply a vivid appearance within your own mind. 4. Meditate on your thoughts and emotions. You discover that they arise and fall away; they have no inherent self-existence but are simply vivid appearances within your own mind. 5. Eventually, you directly experience all appearances as projections of your own mind. Benefits: Your karmic obscurations are released, and you experience the second bliss of Mahāmudrā, Supreme Bliss. Time: 1 hour. 352
Buddha Essence Insight Meditation: Determine the True Nature of Your Mind 1. Begin with a deep personal investigation of the nature of your own mind. What color is it? What shape? Where do thoughts come from? Where they go? Determine that your mind has no characteristics. See it as empty, and everything you experience is a projection of your mind. Yet your mind does not not exist at all. Your mind is the radiant clarity of ultimate reality, and all appearances are pure emanations of ultimate reality. 2. Directly perceive both your mind’s own emptiness of characteristics and its clarity of awareness. Benefits: You discover the true nature of your mind, and your karmic obscurations are released. Time: 1 hour. Level Three: The Unborn - Ajāta Buddha Essence Insight Meditation: Release Attachment to Conceptual Thought 1. Once you have attained a direct perception of the true nature of your mind, let go of your mind. Allow your mind to be open, spacious, and relaxed. Keep your awareness centered in the present moment, and do not be distracted by thoughts of past and future. Thoughts are simply a part of the natural display of your own mind. Allow them to arise and fall away like clouds. 2. Eventually, you attain a thought-free state. Benefits: Clears obscuring thoughts, allows you eventually to directly perceive the Clear Light of your mind’s true nature. Time: 1 hour. Buddha Essence Insight Meditation: Perceive Your Mind and Appearances as the Clear Light 1. From the thought-free state, meditating on your mind’s own true nature as your focus, perceive your mind as unchanging ultimate reality. See that your mind, and all appearances, are unborn, the Clear Light of ultimate reality, pure Oneness, the bliss of nirvāṇa. 2. Resting in that awareness, you are purified as you open into the infinite wisdom, love and creative power of the field of uncreated light. Over time, you may fully perceive the shimmering light of the Clear Light directly. Benefits: Your karmic obscurations are released, and you experience the third bliss of Mahāmudrā, the Bliss of Cessation. Time: 1 hour. 353
