Awareness Is Already Awake. These passages from Longchenpa’s Freedom of Being invite us to rest in what’s already whole — the radiant immediacy of Awareness itself. This Dzogchen meditation and reading open the heart to direct recognition: nothing to attain, nothing to construct — only to see. #Meditation #Dzogchen #Nonduality #MindTraining About this Reading Longchenpa’s words are not instructions to build a new state, but reminders to notice what is already here in its Wholeness. The phrases point us back to the immediacy and profundity of our own potentiality. For those new to this, Beingful languaging can feel otherworldly. For those familiar with timeless Awareness, these are direct reminders of the view. Always return to your own present experience. Longchenpa – Freedom of Being, Paragraph 1 I PAY HOMAGE TO THE PROCESS OF COSMIC WHOLENESS. From the very beginning, in a state of harmony — in the unoriginated clear light — unmoving awareness itself is free of any fixation and is totally unbound spaciousness. Within the unsurpassed consciousness-existence-environment arise the three-dimensional modes of Being (kayas), which spontaneously actualize and are totally blissful. Homage to the fundamental fulfillment which is immutable. When you experientially know the dimensions of your own awareness and your own Beingness, the terror of existence dissolves. As you experientially recognize that your very somatic, physical emanation is the emanation of luminous radiance — luminous consciousness — embodied spaciousness — liberation happens.

The Vajrayana is the path of non-duality. No matter what experience arises, within the experience of bare awareness there is no fixation with regard to the arising phenomena. When you directly gaze at whatever presents itself or shows itself or manifests itself or appears, simply let it be like water poured into water. Thus the phenomena or the experience or the manifestation or the appearance becomes inseparable from the continuous experience and ongoing experience of the naturally clear awareness field. The experience of bliss, clarity, and non-conceptuality arises through the non-duality of natural freedom. The manifestation is integrated into the ongoing experience of the awareness field which will be blissful, clear, and non-conceptual. It means that whatever arises becomes part of awareness itself, and in that union, the qualities of awareness — joy, clarity, and freedom from concepts — naturally shine forth. 36. Even when Mental Fragmentation arises, remain Unwavering and Stable. When you are in the State of Ultimate Dimension of Beingness of Being, the State of the Awareness Field, which is Unborn Awareness Itself, whatever arises, whatever is Manifested, whatever Appears is Released IN The Field OF Pure Awareness. This IS The Unconditional Freedom OF The Physical Dimension OF Beingness. #Meditation #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #InnerPeace #Spirituality #Mysticism #LettingGo #SelfDiscovery

#dzogchen #nonduality #mindtraining We will be meditating Longchenpa's "Natural Freedom of Being" It is not a book study, It is not even a study...it is a "Wisdom Sounding" to Awaken the sympathetic resonance of profundity in our own Hearts... So we will listen with our Hearts and less so with our ears. Longchenpa (1308-1364), who's name means, "Infinite, Vast Expanse of Space', was one of the most brilliant teachers and great masters of the Nyingma lineage. He wrote extensively Dzoghen. He also transmitted the Longchen Nyingtik body of teachings and practice to Jigmé Lingpa. 48. As you integrate you mind and the functions of the mind into primordial awareness field , the consciousness of your mind becomes more and more liberated. And your mind becomes singular in the experience of natural clarity. Through singular awareness you mental intergration will be accomplished. You should not let your awareness either be too tight and constricted and neither too loose and fuzy. Allow the external and internal conceptions to arises within the awareness field as will as the five emotional hinderances and the allow the practice of direct perception( knowingness) will self release these experience…that is experiencing and knowing theconflictive experience as manifestations of luminousity and energy(forms of consciousness itself configurations of consciousness). These will manifest as the display of awareness. 59. You will gain the qualities of the wisdom eye and direct perception. Your bad dreams will become positive. Then you will recognize your dreams as dreams. Then your dreams will dissolve into the spaciousness of consciousness. At this point cyclic existence is liberated intothe state of unconditional freedom. You will have completed the bodhisattva stages and the paths of creative and fulfillment transformations. Thus within this particular lifetime you will become fully awake thorugh perfection the realization of awareness itself. #Meditation #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #InnerPeace #Spirituality #Mysticism #LettingGo #SelfDiscovery

To enter into awareness’s natural awareness let go of the attentiveness of the mind, free of attentiveness, there is no conditioning of whatever arises. Then in those moments free of objects of perception and perceiver, free of the functions of the mind rest in the state of natural freedom which is natural knowingness without an object. In the state of unobstructed pure awareness, there arises the wisdom of knowingness, of clarity, openess and oneness of spaciousness and luminosity. 41. When the various manifestations of phenomenal appearance — the rays and energy of primordial awareness radiance — are released into the field, the wisdom of discernment and knowingness is actualized. Resting in the state of clarity and serenity, in which the meditational experience of bliss, clarity and non-conceptuality is spontaneously present, the natural radiance of awareness shines unobstructed. The completely natural state of awareness - the Beingness of Being - is uncreated and indestructible. 42. By giving spaciousness to agitation when it arises — or as agitation arises within the spaciousness of awareness — and allowing it simply to be, this agitation will in time become fully pacified. With regard to the active and still aspects of the natural state, when your natural mind is active, do not despair, for this very movement prevents fixation on stillness itself. 43. The transcendental knowingness (direct perception) shes rab of discernment roots out all affective conflicts and completely frees you from formed and formless mental states. When the mind is still in the awareness field there is no agitation and so the network of conceptual proliferation slows downs and dissolves. The wisdom ye shes of serenity enables you to overpower affective conflicts and then you are free from the desiring mind. #Meditation #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #InnerPeace #Spirituality #Mysticism #LettingGo #SelfDiscovery

#Meditation #Dzogchen #Nonduality Timeless Awareness shines the healing light of Beingness on all emotions and difficult mind states. In this 7th Reading of Longchenpa’s Freedom of Being, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and subtle energies can be healed and liberated through the light of Loving Awareness. Rather than pushing experience away, we learn to let every feeling, thought, and even suffering dissolve naturally into the heart-essence of Awareness — where all becomes radiant expression. Longchenpa reminds us that the field of Being is already complete. Each movement of mind, when met within this open expanse, is self-purifying — a moment of awakening within the stream of daily life. Through this practice of direct perception, awareness reveals its own healing light. About this Reading These passages (48–60) describe how the mind and emotions integrate within the primordial awareness field. They guide us through natural self-liberation, Chöd-like release, and the transformation of energy into luminous Wholeness. For those new to this language, it is a meditation on resting in the heart of Being. For those seasoned in practice, it is a living transmission — a reminder of what is always already free.

Longchenpa – Freedom of Being (Reading Excerpt) The phenomena that constitute the world of cyclic existence and unconditional freedom are the magical display of bare awareness just like last night’s dream. Since the real nature of bare awareness is in essence empty, it is the ultimate dimension of Being. And because awareness is naturally luminous, it is the visionary dimension of Being; yet dependent upon circumstance, it can appear in various ways as the manifest dimension of Being. This present consciousness is the natural bare awareness which is naturally free upon arising. This very thing is the deep intentionality of those who are fully awakened, free of all limitations and completely Boundless and Open. The teacher Padmasambhava has said the wisdom of awareness — which is open and clear — manifests in the appropriate way according to the circumstances. Yet it is indeterminate because it arises from itself and is released back into its own natural state, just like waves merging within the ocean. Conceptuality is the radiance of the primordial ultimate dimension of Being. There is no other sphere to contemplate. By wanting to reject conceptuality and contemplate the non-conceptual state of mind, the phenomenal world arises as an enemy, and people fall into mistaking this for freedom. Those practitioners who neither accept nor reject whatever arises in the mind, and are able to see the phenomenal world as the level of Cosmic Wholeness — Samantabhadra — transcend the limits of phenomenal existence. One goes beyond calculating in terms of what is meditation and what is not. This is the sublime path that is supremely elevated.
