Essence of Clear Light
The General Meaning of Dispelling Darkness
in the Ten Directions, the Commentary on the Essence of the Secret,
Called “Essence of Clear Light”
Homage to the Guru Manjushri
In the inner space of original purity free
from elaboration,
Inseparable from the spontaneous presence
of the depth of awareness,
Your wisdom body is free from aging and
decline.
May the youthful Manjushri grant auspiciousness!
In the basic space of the equality of all
phenomena,
You have fully perfected the play of what appears for you as
the three enlightened forms,
Original protector Longchenpa, free
from obscuration,
Trimé Özer, please watch over
me!

This evening
I will say a few things about the Buddhadharma. I wish to thank all
of you for regarding this as something important and for coming to
hear what I have to say. I will begin by offering a supplication.
Please listen with faith in the Buddha and the Dharma. After that
I will begin to explain the text.
[At
this point in the talk, Thrangu Rinpoche chanted]
This evening I will be speaking
about the stages of meditation that were taught by the great Indian
master Kamalashila. In Tibet we have both Sutra and Mantra. The stages
of meditation that Kamalashila explained in his text on that topic
are mainly those of Sutra.
