Ākāśagarbha, Kṣitigarbha & the Concept of Dzogchen

Treasury of Heaven, Treasury of Earth, the Human — Learning the Vast Space of the Maṇḍala, Expanding Wisdom Good magnetic fields don't run into bad magnetic fields; good and bad both exist — you must practice yourself.So Rinpoche teaches everyone the summoning method, create your own power to summon, create a good magnetic field.As for low wealth-fortune, low luck, Rinpoche keeps saying — don't blame Heaven, don't blame Earth; blame yourself, that your own medium has too much resistance.An electron has resistance; a person is the medium between Heaven and Earth, merely a conductor.If your medium's resistance is too great, Heaven coming down (wealth, energy), Earth going up (wealth, energy) — all get destroyed by the resistance.Heaven comes down 100 points, Earth up 100 points — but your resistance is too strong, so only 20% remains.Understand?If you got it, then continue.If you don't understand this, you don't know why we practice.Worse: 「your medium」 is a complete insulator, no conductivity.Wealth deity comes, this person won't conduct electricity — gives you, you can't transmit.Kṣitigarbha or whatever comes up from the earth — you can't conduct either.So you're an insulator.We often say a person is cold and distant, has no feel, no friends — how will you have resources?With buddhas and bodhisattvas no resources; with the underground, the Treasury of Earth, Kṣitigarbha's treasure — all unable to be given to you, because you're an insulator.So each must create for themselves this 「conductive receiving」 percent, reduce the resistance and the damage.Where does this come from?What is the present intention?Vajrayāna speaks of intention-arising.Intention-arising decides what Heaven gives you, decides how large your capacity is — this decides capacity, equals the treasury.Where is the treasury?Treasury of Heaven, of Earth, of Human?The key is Treasury of Human.Without the Human treasury, the Heaven treasury has no place to put things — give to whom?Treasury of Earth coming up — to whom?Is there a recipient?Because you are important, that's why you are the true treasury.So your intention-and-behavior decides your treasury's size.How to measure treasury size?In the dharma realm, by the Four Immeasurables: 「immeasurable loving-kindness, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable joy, immeasurable equanimity.」 Disciple: The amount of money is related to the Four Immeasurables?Rinpoche: If you're a selfish person — you take money only to build yourself a nice house, to enjoy yourself — then you have no Four Immeasurables.You have no compassion at all; even if someone is starving to death you grudge them a bowl of rice or a little living stipend — no Four Immeasurables.So everyone look again at what the Four Immeasurables say.These Four Immeasurables decide whether your treasury is big.That's why before a practice, we recite the Four Immeasurables: cultivate with a selfless heart, cultivate for the benefit of all.Never forget: saying this costs you nothing.A beautiful lie, and also true.When you make this aspiration, your capacity grows, you can hold all things of the universe.You aren't limited to the selfish small one.So keep making the Four Immeasurable vows — no loss to you.「I vow to offer benefit to all beings」 — if that isn't a great vow, what is?Only a great vow produces great energy, great treasury.No great vow, nothing.Why?It depends on your intention-arising and your heart-thought.If both can be established, you will absolutely strike it big.If you're only selfishly for yourself and family, you only strike small.Just that.Understand?No loss to you.Don't be afraid: I release great love, give love to all — does my love disappear?No.Because before practicing summoning, Rinpoche must give disciples this critical view.If you don't pass this gate, many people practice and get no effect — your resistance is still too strong, your self-interest is still too strong.「If I have, I'll offer much to the bodhisattvas; if not, forget it, wait until I have money then I'll offer well.」 All wrong.Precisely when you have no money, offer well, because you don't make big offerings, that's why you have no money.It's relative, not 「wait until I'm rich.」 Many disciples say: after I retire, after I earn money, with no work, free and bored, then I'll practice.Keep waiting — Rinpoche won't wait for you.This mindset is wrong.80% think this way: 「I need to grind out the economy, work hard for money, no time to practice with you」 — wrong.You'll only earn that little bit.Your mentality is always on work — that's a cow's behavior.「To be a cow or a horse」 — you do cow-work, horse-work; not human-work.Because the wisdom is different.Things to do are different.You must elevate yourself.Only humans can elevate — because of human wisdom, plus guidance from Rinpoche and the buddhas and bodhisattvas, you can ascend, upgrade — far better.Tune up — the capacity grows.If you don't tune up, don't practice — then you're not adjusting at all, you'll always be like this.From childhood to now, from entering society to old age, still the same, no change.Many don't dare attend class reunions.Why?Dropped-around in school; twenty, thirty years, fifty — attend the reunion and classmates are chairmen, bosses, and you're still a laborer.Don't dare go, inferior.In school always failing, in society failing, running family failing, divorced — don't dare appear, afraid people will ask: where's your wife and kid?What's your monthly salary?Only want to burrow underground.So you skip the reunion.Retreat.Just reflect: have you elevated yourself?Is this year's you different from last year's?Any ascent?Vajrasattva practice last year vs this year — any difference?If no difference, you're regressing.Last year's views vs this year's — any difference?Last year's business volume vs this year's — half what it was.Reflect: economy bad?Economy bad is to be expected — but did you change?Change your business methods?Use wisdom to adjust?Another path?If the mountain doesn't turn, the road turns; if the road doesn't turn, the person turns.Use wisdom to pivot.Or at least repair.Know what's bad, repair it.But you haven't studied, no ability to repair, 「I don't know how to patch it.」 So some people's house leaks ten years and still leaks.Ever seen this?Many.Why?First, lazy; second, I don't know how; third, a bucket to catch water will do — so life goes on.So he hasn't elevated, hasn't generated wisdom, hasn't shifted his destiny; he'd rather catch the drip with a bucket than find a way to patch the hole.Rinpoche has taught very many disciples — 90% like this.So in the end Rinpoche shut the door and stopped teaching, because teaching this kind of disciple is agonizing.Rinpoche watches with urgency: why not practice urgently?Year by year getting older, destiny unchanged.Rinpoche wants to change you, but you don't want to — pulling becomes agony, finally let go.Rinpoche is impatient for excellence: if you practice, practice well; if not, go home — don't waste both sides' time and spirit.So Rinpoche teaches strictly, because Rinpoche wants to change you — unless you don't want to change, then you snap back to the original form.So the Four Immeasurables are the primary cause of growing the treasury and growing capacity.Second: you must use the wisdom of space-time — this is the principle Ākāśagarbha speaks.Without this view turned around, you can't enter Ākāśagarbha.Take notes to remind yourself: where does my treasury come from?Big or small?Don't ask others, ask yourself.Why doesn't wealth come in?There's too much resistance on me.Where does the resistance come from?Karma, intention-force, views.To accomplish bodhisattvahood, you also make the great vow — same principle.Throw the heart out, be open-wide.Space-time, time, space, wealth-fortune — these include practice, how to create accomplishment.Rinpoche thinks at present there isn't a Rinpoche transmitting a method combining practice with space-time, because Rinpoche's cultivation has been broad: Daoist fengshui, geographic space-time, space-time parapsychology, dimensional spaces, hypnosis, all the heterodox methods — synthesizing these, Rinpoche discovered all the accomplishment-methods have been split apart, never placed together.So Rinpoche is doing jigsaw work.Why hasn't anyone succeeded at buddhahood through history?Because they were sliced apart.A single secret manual split into hundreds of parts, scattered.Because in the martial world, including practice and mountain-sects, nobody is on friendly terms, each claims his dharma is best, none willing to share.Put together, see clearly: ah, all of it was misaligned.Whatever we cultivate — Dzogchen, dharmakāya accomplishment, prosperity, or dharmakāya realization — all requires combining the force of the Dharma with the force of space-time.There's no single-event thing in the world, no accidental event; all is the combination of many origins and connections.Its result is extremely complex in process; raising a cause is simple, the process is complex, arriving at a result.You haven't yet become a result — still in progress.So there is no 「result」 in this world, because the result keeps extending — doesn't count as result.Death — does that count as result?Ending?No, still cycling.Birth — is that the beginning?No.So between cause and effect — cause and effect are optional; between them many complex processes arise.If you can slip out in the middle — that is a very powerful position: no cause, no effect.Master Guangqin said 「no coming, no going」 — not his invention; sages of old said it, many Zen masters said it.He just used that phrase to condense his life.Guangqin's life has many legends; there are positive views and Rinpoche's views, but we won't comment on all practitioners — real practice-methods must produce real, substantive change.Inside summoning methods, mantras are complex and many; can't finish them all this time.Today, let's practice: one is emptiness, one is the Ākāśagarbha practice.Because if you want to enter emptiness to summon Ākāśagarbha, you can't ask any wealth from the void.Ākāśagarbha is the subconscious; space-time is the universe.From subconscious entering space-time and the universe is Ākāśagarbha.What is in the universe?Treasure.This treasure includes: material treasure and formless treasure.Formless treasure includes: great wisdom.Material treasure: great wealth-fortune.So if you want to own great wealth-fortune, He only need give you great wisdom and you have it.Every stock accurate — great wisdom; from top to bottom you can see which will rise, which will fall, clearly; why give you money, just great wisdom is enough.Second: directly give you great wealth-fortune; you don't need great wisdom, be dumb as you like, money runs in from four directions — the fool has fool's luck.Still, you must be kind; just a bit dumb, still own great wealth-fortune.Mainland China has many wealthy, dumb bosses — ever seen?Lots of money; doesn't need great wisdom.So two things — great wisdom and great wealth-fortune — both from Ākāśagarbha.How to enter Ākāśagarbha?A big method, a big discipline.For the material realm to enter the void-realm is hard.But from void entering material is easy — fear of not getting back.From emptiness to form; from form to emptiness.「From frugality to luxury easy; from luxury to frugality hard.」 Is it easy to go from form to emptiness?Not easy.All just talk about emptiness; actually not empty.Who's empty?Great dharma teachers across all mountain-sects — are they empty?One voice costs tens of thousands; empty what?Monasteries worth billions; is this empty?Going out in luxury cars, with chauffeur, attendant, bodyguard.What's empty?Why does he need bodyguards?Too much money, afraid of kidnapping.Is that empty?Can he put it down?Even great dharma teachers, high monks — hard to become empty.So for buddhas and bodhisattvas inside emptiness, arhats too, to go from empty to form — easy or hard?Nowadays many — mediums, psychics — oh, you're a reincarnated bodhisattva, you're Jigong the living Buddha come again to deliver the human world.Many bodhisattvas, all-sky-deities come to the human world.From empty to form — easy?Very easy.One stir of intention, down you come, falling head-first, born as a human — simple; just arise the intention, come, that works.But to go back?Materialized, lost, human women are so beautiful, food so delicious — what for?This side is better.Many foreign workers come to Taiwan, don't want to go back.Many lamas from Tibet to Taiwan — don't go back.A terma-master, 75 years old, child only 5, came to Taiwan as a Rinpoche to teach practice — very high in power, also wearing hair bound, earrings.Once, visiting Kaohsiung, happened to have a power outage.All the lamas and rinpoches rushed out — 「power out, what happened?」 「Too hot!」 In Tibet those places have great heat and great cold; weren't you ever afraid of heat?No way, no air conditioning, still very hot.Why afraid of heat in Taiwan?Why?Can't go back; without AC can't live.And cold?Turn on heat.Adapted.Once from emptiness-bodhisattva realm or arhat realm, returning to the form space — you can't go back.Longnü too; coming to Earth, panting, no water — hard to go back to the sea.From empty to form, easy; from form to empty, hard.We have to cultivate from form up to attaining emptiness — truly not easy.Meditation?Hard, not easy.You've already been spoiled by Earth's magnetic field.So many lamas come to Taiwan and don't want to go home — going back is truly painful, nothing there, beaten to death don't want to go.In Tibet during practice everything is empty; seeing the dazzling world, the saṃsāra-world appears like this — because you are infatuated with this world.Nobody keeps you; you keep yourself.This is attachment, obsession.So if the soul is attached to this space, it can't go back.Will you become Buddha?Hard!Left-brain thinking about husband, right-brain about son and daughter, forebrain about earning, hindbrain about the house — the whole brain packed solid, still empty?Impossible.Monks aren't empty — forget about you.Professionals aren't empty, let alone amateurs — no way; difficulty is quite high.If you can temporarily put down form, enter emptiness, you have the chance to enter the subconscious, enter space-time, enter Ākāśagarbha — though not for long.Half an hour, an hour will do.Rinpoche: real people don't reveal appearance; those who reveal aren't real.See what sort of person, speak what sort of dharma.Some say, that Rinpoche is nothing special — all he teaches is worldly dharma, daily life stuff.Because you're very ordinary; Rinpoche can only speak ordinary to you.Reflect on yourself, not on Rinpoche.If your level is enough, Rinpoche speaks very deep — any deeper you won't understand.Careful: if Rinpoche speaks very shallowly, ask: am I especially ordinary today?Rinpoche's dharma is all inside Ākāśagarbha.Rinpoche never brings a lecture draft, improv.Rinpoche talks Ākāśagarbha, Ākāśagarbha has the wisdom to describe Ākāśagarbha.Rinpoche talks about someone — great wisdom comes to tell me just so, no draft, no preparation, speaks like this, this simple.「Opening great wisdom」 means just this.Opening the treasure of Ākāśagarbha is opening your subconscious area, which is 90%, at least 90% to 95% of the energy-storage.So the two richest ones: Rinpoche calls Ākāśagarbha the Treasury of Heaven, that's one; the second?Kṣitigarbha.Nowadays everyone sees Kṣitigarbha not as the real Kṣitigarbha but as Jin Qiaojue, a Korean, sculpted after his likeness.Actually Kṣitigarbha isn't that shape; it's a title.Jin Qiaojue, during his monastic time, did many compassionate and salvific deeds for the benefit of beings — so people called him Kṣitigarbha.Same spirit.But why 「king」 — Kṣitigarbha, not just 「Kṣitigarbha」?Because Jin Qiaojue was a prince of Korea.Like Śākyamuni, a prince, saw through birth-aging-sickness-death, left home and practiced.So people honored him as Kṣiti-garbha-king.So the second rich one is Kṣitigarbha, the Treasury of Earth, who governs all treasures beneath ground; collectively called Kṣitigarbha.Governor of all treasures in the sky — called Ākāśagarbha.Both have 「garbha」 (treasury).Emptiness is treasury, earth-treasury is treasury.For money, find these two.Everyone fears Kṣitigarbha.Kṣitigarbha governs the yin realm, governs the underworld — wrong!Taiwan's religion has been polluted.Why?Kṣitigarbha isn't the governor of ghosts.He made a great vow to rescue all beings from hell, and inexplicably became the 「Teacher of the Netherworld.」 It's like if you go to Iraq to rescue hostages, you'd be labeled something — slapped with a title.This is 「baseless description.」 Don't fear Kṣitigarbha; don't say He's the Teacher of the Netherworld, yin-realm.In Kṣitigarbha there's a water-fire complete long mantra.Chanting this mantra over trees — even a tree about to die — recite this mantra and the tree will come alive again, even grow fresh leaves, grow vitality — can revive all things that have died.So Rinpoche admires it.Rinpoche once taught a batch of disciples this method, but they had no knowing, no feel, no sense.To make them a bit richer, Rinpoche taught the Kṣitigarbha Water-Fire-Complete Luminous Mantra.How did they do?After three tries nobody wanted to do it anymore, because they didn't hit the lottery.All treated the dharma with this view, so Rinpoche let it go.So Kṣitigarbha's mantra lets a lifeless being, a person without opportunity, revive — same as earth growing a tree, flourishing, blooming, fruiting; such great merit.So later while Rinpoche was in meditation he met Kṣitigarbha and discussed with Him: if this mantra is called Water-Fire-Complete Luminous Mantra, Rinpoche feels it's a pity because nobody understands it.Would You permit me to use a simpler name to describe this mantra?He said yes.What name?Rinpoche said: 「Kṣitigarbha Rebirth Luminous Water-Fire-Complete Mantra.」 Is that OK?He said: that's still understandable; rebirth luminous — a good description, giving rebirth and attaining light.So later Rinpoche added that nickname — Rebirth Luminous Mantra.If there's chance, Rinpoche will teach it; this is called Kṣitigarbha Wealth-Seeking Dharma, taught by Kṣitigarbha Himself, said to be very efficacious.Some did pray for lots of money through it.Inside the Treasury of Earth there's not only Kṣitigarbha.Inside the Treasury of Heaven not only Ākāśagarbha; also Ākāśagarbha, Jambhala, Lakṣmī — these three.So in summoning we use about three mantras: Ākāśagarbha, Jambhala, Lakṣmī (also called 「Deity of Merit」).This is roughly how the Treasury of Heaven is used.Kṣitigarbha — what else is in the Treasury of Earth?The Firm-Fast Earth God (堅牢地神).Why practice together?Why must the Firm-Fast Earth God and Lakṣmī be practiced together?One is for Treasury of Earth, one for Treasury of Heaven.Firm-Fast Earth God and Lakṣmī both stood before the Buddha and reported together: the people of the world suffer bitterly due to economic distress.Śākyamuni asked: what is the best method you have to help beings, let them quickly obtain wealth, settle down to live, even settle their minds and practice?Lakṣmī and Firm-Fast Earth God stepped forward together — this is recorded in sūtras — reported the mantras with the strongest force for seeking wealth.Firm-Fast Earth God spoke His mantra: provided you uphold the Dharma, I'm willing to grant worldly people the mantra for immense wealth and treasure — that is the Firm-Fast Earth God mantra.Then Lakṣmī said: I too have Lakṣmī Mantra and Auspiciousness Mantra, two mantras; if people of the world recite My mantra well, I will quickly bestow great wealth and nobility.All this is a vow!Recorded in the sūtra; both took oaths; so these mantras are true and not void — oaths were taken.So practicing Lakṣmī and Firm-Fast Earth God together — this is the reason.After opening Ākāśagarbha, we use Lakṣmī, Jambhala, Firm-Fast Earth God, Kṣitigarbha — about six mantras of vow, methods of summoning wealth from the void.We divide them: Treasury of Heaven, Treasury of Earth, Human in the middle.But if Heaven's treasury is there, Earth's treasury is there, the rest is your own problem — back to the point earlier: never let yourself become an insulator.Daddy (Heaven's treasury) doesn't love you, Mommy (Earth's treasury) doesn't love you, you can't get any wealth.So make offerings.Understand?Who gives you these methods?Rinpoche transmits them.So be a bit filial, right?First, be filial to Rinpoche; second, be filial to Them.Of course each has preferences.What does Jambhala love?What does Lakṣmī love?What does Kṣitigarbha like?What does Firm-Fast Earth God like?When making offerings, pay attention.Give what the recipient likes.Give what they don't like and the person tosses it the moment you turn away, maybe curses — not giving would have been better than giving-and-being-cursed.Why?They hate that stuff.In Taiwanese it's called 「the trick.」 Offering to gods and bodhisattvas is the same.These are the response-practices.As Rinpoche just said, you have no printout, no lecture handout — in this terma dharma, much is directly online, directly from the void.Where does this great wisdom treasure come from?Some from intention; some are hidden treasures in certain places; some come from stone caves — hidden-rock treasures; some are god-transmitted; some from the sea.Like Sun Simiao's famous medical book 「Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold」 — where did that come from?From the Dragon Palace, from the sea.Where do you obtain treasure?Sometimes it includes wisdom-dharmas — not in books.Sometimes bodhisattvas give you wisdom; sometimes it's said directly; some gods come to speak it; some obtained in rock caves.In Padmasambhava's era, loved rock-concealment, placed treasure inside stones.Tibet and Nepal are full of these rocky mountains, hidden inside stones.Some are 「submerged treasures」 (fúzàng); fúzàng isn't necessarily there — sometimes in the cave where He meditated; you must enter meditative absorption to retrieve.「Mind-treasures」: speak of it and it comes, talk great wisdom to you, you pass.Various methods of transmission — must listen in well.If someone asks later: oh, you have some level — don't be a Vajrayāna disciple who knows nothing.Firm-Fast Earth God consolidates the whole Earth — very powerful, very vast; all Earth's treasures are under His jurisdiction.So when practicing Kṣitigarbha, must practice Firm-Fast Earth God.Sometimes practicing Firm-Fast Earth God, also practice the Earth-Settling True Words (安土地真言).The Earth-Settling True Words also come from Firm-Fast Earth God.He's the chief of all earth-realms.Kṣitigarbha is in charge of ecology and vitality inside the Earth — specializing in salvation, producing vitality.So Kṣitigarbha's mantra is why Rinpoche renamed it the Rebirth Mantra, Rebirth-Hope Mantra.Ordinary people don't dare rename like that; Rinpoche discussed with Kṣitigarbha before doing so.When Rinpoche teaches Tantric methods, uses the method of 「going deep but speaking shallow,」 won't teach 「Lamrim Chenmo」 or 「Ngagrim Chenmo.」 You can chant them to 80 and still not understand — plunge in and can't climb out.Those two books — truly many are trapped and can't rise.The text has traps; the dharma is fine, but you jump in and can't jump out.Turn 100 years still can't turn out.Those books are mind-twisters; don't spend too much time there.Next life if reborn not understanding Chinese — done, no chance, can't practice.Why?You spent this life's time on that.Better Rinpoche speaks shallow — you awaken faster.Deep-to-shallow.Not that Rinpoche speaks shallow, but Rinpoche digests then speaks shallow — so you know how to summon great wealth, summon wealth, summon great wisdom.So you must enter the domain of Ākāśagarbha; entering Ākāśagarbha, you can develop from the subconscious.This is the critical area that connects time and space-time.Conscious behavior is survival; subconscious behavior is life.Subconscious occupies 95%, conscious 5%.How do we survive?Animals have their survival methods too, but within the 95% — how to live in a very good realm — animals can't; only humans can do it.In our whole life, we don't use this 95%.Entering Ākāśagarbha, you can use the 95% of the subconscious.This 95% actually connects with the universe.Our brain has the function of connecting to the universe, but ordinary people are sealed; can't connect with the universe.Inside the brain: the shallow 5% is called the conscious — survival-force.This is the material world; the seven emotions and six desires, greed-hate-ignorance-pride-doubt all here; present awareness all here; earning, working, eating, sleeping all here — this is your computer's current new file.The deep 95% is called subconscious — life-force.This is the energy realm.All buddhas and bodhisattvas, Shambhala, time-space, void, emptiness are in the subconscious; including karma.This is the old archive.So new things sometimes get thrown in here for storage; that's the karma record.So through eye-ear-nose-tongue-body-mind — 「mind」 being the heart — all absorb 5% of what's currently seen.Some can enter through the seal; some can't.Then to break through 95% of subconscious energy — how to break the seal, release it into the shallow brain, becoming 6%–10%, raising the shallow area, letting it grow.When cultivated to shallow 100%, deep 100% — then enlightened buddha.Disciple: When the conscious % grows, does it mean it can increase the 95% energy?Rinpoche: Right, yes.The subconscious pulls the conscious up.Disciple: Pulling conscious into the karma-record subconscious?Rinpoche: Right.Our practice is pulling to the karma subconscious area to modify the karma record — making conscious and subconscious interconnect.Conscious pulled to subconscious; the two eventually link, generate reciprocal flow, become 100%.Like opening the central channel, consciousness-subconscious connecting line is opened; the seal is undone, letting subconscious pour into conscious, letting consciousness rise from 5%.Conscious and subconscious like two bottles whose fluids flow back and forth; eventually conscious rises from 5% to 100%; when conscious becomes 100%, conscious and subconscious flow simultaneously, the seal is released, your body's conscious and subconscious are filled with 100% — thus becoming Buddha.The character 「佛」 (Fó, Buddha), split apart, is 「not」 + 「person」 (弗+人) — not a person anymore, so become Buddha.Understand?What is our task?Breaking the seal.So the most critical thing in our practice to generate great wisdom and attain buddhahood is to break this seal.Did you know there's a mantra that talks all about seals?That sūtra: 「Dhāraṇī Sūtra of the All-Thus-Come Heart's Secret Whole-Body Relic Precious Casket Seal.」 Translated, that means 「opening the Ark-of-the-Covenant's seal.」 Rinpoche's actually teaching Dzogchen today.A laywoman is taking refuge in Dzogchen today, so Rinpoche deliberately speaks this.This is Dzogchen.After the seal is released, you become a circle — this is Dzogchen's concept.Dzogchen = 100 points = buddhahood.Split the character 「佛」 two ways: reverse-written, it's the money symbol plus person (money chases person); another: 「not」 + 「person」 (not human, Buddha).Do you want money or buddhahood?One is called 「fortune-reward」; one is 「fortune-virtue」 — two sides of one body.Practice can become fortune-reward; practice can become fortune-virtue.So fortune-reward becomes money; fortune-virtue becomes Buddha — this is the method of energy use.Whoever doesn't want to become Buddha, nobody can force — I want to become a great wealthy family, a great tycoon, okay?Fine.Nobody mandates buddhahood.So conscious and subconscious done — this is Dzogchen's concept: once the seal is released, subconscious flows into conscious, changes conscious behavior, becomes one body, central channel opens.Breaking the seal is the big problem.Excerpted from a teaching by Master Urgyen Topden Rinpoche on 2018-07-07
