Tibetan master Longchenpa’s famous work that systematically presents the path of yogic conduct according to the Dzogchen tradition.
Longchen Rabjam (1308-1363), is a great luminary of Tibetan Buddhism. He was highly skilled in all aspects of scholarship from an early age and excelled throughout his life in the practice and accomplishment of the Dharma. Regarded as a great Dzogchen master, Longchenpa had many pure visions where he was given direct instructions from Guru Padmasambhava and is recognised as an emanation of Vimalamitra. Longchenpa's prolific writings have made him one of Tibet's most renowned and precious teachers.

Dear Listeners, this is an old recording where I used some copyrighted music in this video so YT plays ads to collect revenue for the record company. Sorry about that. There are many ways to overcome this. You can simply join YT premium and avoid all ads on YT. The ads will only appear on those readings where the music is copyrighted and I am trying to avoid this now as much as possible these days. Warm regards

[@insomniacnextdoor]

Thank you for this note :-) Could you let us know where to access your Google Drive for this recording without ads?

Wow! I have rarely, if ever, been so moved by listening to such a text. For 'some' reason, your voice seemed to penetrate deep into my being. I saw the words as jewels floating downwards into me. If all this a bit too much, I apologise - but I simply describe what I felt, Thank you for bringing these teachings alive for me. I suddenly feel that I have a path to explore. I am so thankful. May the blessings of all Buddhas be yours and long may you bring life to such words. Thank you! Thank you!

[@otterrivers3765]

I tend to listen to things like this with focused reverence and I do feel I get the essence of what is being taught. Yet I notice many times in the 3rd or 4th listening, it suddenly hits me in a much deeper way. This is is one of those times.

[@amitgaur7502]

May I request you dear mother that can you please add the Hindi captions to the vedio so that my fellow beings and family can be helped too for the enlightenment. Also I must admit that this very satsanga is the most effective for me up to now. In fact I was living into this state last one month and today it reinforced me again 😊

Thank you Jayasara for your spiritual teaching. I love the text and would not have purchased it without you bringing to my awareness and educating me through this interpretation. An amazing “sermon” by a nun who cares for its intention of spreading to all sentient beings.

[@trainmusic5388]

I purchased it as well, had no idea about these teachings until I came upon this ... I am eternally grateful to Jayasara as well, but everyone speaks of an EMP attack and other catastrophes so wanted to have the books to read and study if the Grid goes down.

[@chrisfillman6335]

Cherry blossom intoxication.

[@morbb5691]

I can see what is meant by this teaching about the dreamlike nature of things. . .Example: I went to work some time back like I usually do and I was in the breakroom kinda leaning onto and putting my weight onto this old kind of makeshift counter where there were two microwave ovens. Well, the whole thing just started leaning and fell over with a loud crash. I couldn't catch it all in time. I usually don't do things like that! And in the moments as it was falling over and right afterward, it seemed to have a real dreamlike quality to it all. I couldn't believe I had made that counter fall over! I have also had other less dramatic moments as well where things seemed dreamlike and unreal for a moment or two. I'm sure others have had such moments too.

[@gnomingonabudget]

Hahaha ,I can relate brother

[@Divinegame580]

I felt this as a kid before I new colors or how to read. When I first saw a picture of Earth my mind said it's not real the only thing real is something inside of me. So this was really deep to me.

[@gyeltshendrukpabuddhism7446]

Words cannot describe the beauty and simplicity of Longchempa`s teachings on the true and inseparable nature of mind and phenomenon a very moving meditation. profound thanks for this and all the other teachings you have taken the time to share for the sake and benefit of all sentient beings 🙏

"I bow down to the nature of my mind". This is the Self spoken of in vedanta. The Great Spirit. SatChitAnanda. The Holy Spirit of God. ...That simple awareness we all experience right now..... That is the unblemished, undiluted perfect original Being within you now. I bow down and worship that.

@@jamesstevenson7725 modern vedanta is a dead lineage as are zen and theravada. only nalanda buddhism / tibetan buddhism still has authentic samadhi practitioners. and yes mahayana emptiness far surpasses vedanta theory, but ancient vedanta meditators used to be awesome and close cousins.

@@SamaneriJayasara Hi, I’m back again. Bodhicitta, is The Absolute or pure Presents? The definition I gave can be more relative & grow. Like a flower bush, first green buds appear, then a hint of color, then more color than green, then boom with perfume not smelled before, yet remembered or known. As flowers open ‘new’ depths come.
