Transcript: 

This very big mess and then trying to liberate somebody is out of question. And then the Vajrayana master will be proud and Vajrayana student will be proud and the whole lineage will be proud and the whole world will be delighted in that sense because you become a true enlightened being at that level. And that's the kind of world, kind of the Dharma world we are looking into. That's truly the kind of Dharma world we are looking into. And that's how it should be. You are there whenever it's needed. My teacher, his son is Dujumra Machi.

[01:12]

He emphasized on this practice so much that he is on the level of Aarti Yoga. And he's not one of those people, those who claim that he is on the Aarti level, but he is that level. He is the Pema Sambhava himself, the Buddha himself, the world knows that. And he used to emphasize every day, from his Dzogchen teachings to every level, that how important to work with the moon to practice. The kind of panoramic view they have from that level, this practice becomes so important. He gets the view from that panoramic level. He's not saying it from without any reason. He's saying it because he can see how the whole situation, how we can work through our mental makeup step by step, and how we can able to have the strength to cut through that.

[02:16]

So he's shown his emphasis tremendously on the practice of one role. And for me, this is one of my main practice, This has been one of my main practices. This is the shorter version of Wundro, but there's a longer version of Wundro which I do, but I mean for you, you can do the shorter one because you have to go to work and whatever, so you can't spend about two hours reading on Wundro, but basically the understanding of the whole lineage in transmission is there within your essence of understanding. It doesn't mean that if you don't have that, you're missing something that is there. But you've got to do that practice every day and understand this is a very important practice. He is seeing from that level of the ati level. Ati level, I'm calling it. He's not seeing. And someone who thinks can just do it without this, you know, is trying to say that to Buddha, that I know better than you.

[03:24]

And I'm a Buddhist. At the same time, I'm a Buddhist and I know better than you. I really feel funny when I meet that kind of people. So, I guess that's what I want to say tonight. And now we have worked through basically very much. Now we will come to next part is the refuge. Bodhisitta, Vajrasattva, Mandala, and the Guru Yoga practice. They will all come with that. But the basic foundation line, we have gone quite well. And now you have to understand what kind of equipment, what kind of preparation you need to make on the Vajrayana practice.

[04:29]

Now you have begun it. So now you have to work it on. Thank you.
