This is so perfect. I tried to listen to your Afflictive Emotions google drive. It said no access.

[@vajraloka1]

Usually he says everything an illusion, an apparition, non meditation, now he says he gets distracted by busy cities and its "wandering in samsara" before he said samsara and nirvana is one " So however poetic I guess never define things in extremes or deny both truths. Padmasambhava never did.

[@सगुनसायमी]

Let's go... to the wildwoods ! 😇🙏

[@Steven-de4vw]

The 3th or 4th time i listened to this wildwoods one. Getting better and better every time i listen. It's a jewel ✨

[@ernestweber5207]

Longchenpa illustrates here his recognition of the foibles and difficulties of the prevalent cloud of samsaric immersion in relation to the path of true Dharma. This was prior to the phase of his writings during his final retreat at the cave and the wildwoods, from what I know. Isn't it fascinating though, that the points he is making also apply, (maybe even more so) to these tumultuous times of grand spectacles and simulations with innumerable distractions, proliferating entertainments and conceptual, bottomless rabbit holes? I think, in our practice, we can connect here emphatically with Longchenpa's vast mind and experience via this profound and poetic observation and move with him into the recognition of our nature in self-knowing awareness as kindred spirits in Ati, so to speak. Perhaps we are in the last phases of the Dharma Ending Age he divined then? If so, then the spread of Dzogchen is even more significant than might be evident, for it is said that it would become more available and bring many beings to their true nature in such a time before the end of that phase, and the rainbow body of light would shine with auspicious transformation within and without. What good fortune! It is akin to our highway sign to merge beyond left and right on the baseless road of immanent unity on the display of the Dzogchen GPS. You are now approaching Now. You are always here. This is it. Simply recognize! Recognition unsought. Thank you for spreading these ornate and fragrant lotuses of sheer profundity on the quiet lake of our study and practice in continuity!

[@harjotmahal8985]

Wow thanks. beautiful

Yes, true Dzogchen highway sign, simply saying: that's it, you are here! And now! Thank you forever, Venerable Jayasara, for making these timeless pointers available!

First time hearing this, first time ever hearing of it. I began playing it when I was about to go to sleep- but I quickly realized how uncannily gloriously exactly this matches my own experience. A few years ago I felt pulled, almost violently, to come out here to live where I do now- in the wild woods. And I’ve come to realize that it was exactly for all these reasons. It’s like a retreat. Living here has become my meditation. So far away from the ills of the world that I’m able to blend with experience seamlessly. Ahhh 🙏✨

Dear Friend, Longchempa speaks to my heart so clearly. He describes the afflictions that i havent been able to name or see clearly.. Surrounded in this valley by two mountain ranges covered in snow, i am too old now to factually get to the Wildwoods but i am learning how to get there anyway..

[@Pureexhiliration]

What can you say? Just truly amazing. Each verse is very much relatable, applicable, and relevant 750 years after the day, Longchenpa finished composing it.

What a precious gift. To experience along with a luminous luminous light his Dark Night of the Soul. Far valuable than all the pointings. Heartbreakingly tragic as one weeps with the Master yet drinks in the elixir of his own pre-dawn moment of "Lord why have you forsaken me".

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Hi Harry - i'm still on retreat for a few more weeks - just had 20 minutes near the computer while my washing was spinning - how mundane! - to upload a video. Hope you enjoy this poetry from the Master Longchenpa - from Jayasara in the Wildwoods :)

[@pchabanowich]

Mother Peter back for this Song. A scene has formed in my mind of late of how to paint an evocation of this longing for a wild wood home... the taunts of samsara are noise and rejection, so I'm clearing a way into the Enchanting Wildwoods, too.💐🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌳🌴🌴🌴🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🌸

My deep gratitude for this wonderful reading . It came to me the moment I hoped to literally do a walk towards the woods. Seeing this magical song on my screen told me to just do it. Your voice step by step guided me to a highest point these woods , made me view a wonderful start of a sunset and brought me back to where I started making a complete round . It has been miraculous walk. I keep the peaceful forest in my heart and wish to take it with me wherever i go hoping it can be visible to all. So beautiful!Thank you dearly 💛

[@barbarajohnson1442]

I think this might be my favorite reading. Thank you for bringing so many inspiring and consoling-new (to me) spiritual readings

[@waywardsoul3562]

This was the most beautiful thing… thank you, thank you… I too would love to be off to the Wildwoods, it isn’t too often everything that is spoken resonates with you but this brought a strange sense of peace within my heart and my soul, just knowing my thoughts are not my thoughts alone… blessed be and thank you…peace

[@hoon_sol]

I like Rabjam's sense of urgency. _I must go to the wildwoods_ *right now* I guess I should be heading for the wildwoods. It's a bit scary, though. I'd be worried about finding enough food, but he does assure me: _In all four seasons,_ _Guiltless subsistence can be had_ _From readily available fruit, leaves, and roots._ Still, I'm not quite sure. Also, there's the danger of wild animals, I don't want to be ripped apart by a tiger. What do you think, should I go to the wildwoods and live there?

[@harjotmahal8985]

Absolutely! There is only one tiger that will rip you apart .....and it is THE GREAT PERFECTION!!

[@Fintan33]

go for it, be cautious in your endeavour if near multiple predators - I did but im in the uk where its super safe re wild life.

[@hoon_sol]

@@Fintan33: In the UK it would be 100% impossible to sustain yourself guiltlessly in the wildwoods; only in the natural human habitat, the tropical equatorial rainforests, is that possible. Hence why I specifically mentioned the tiger.

[@zamoraobed]

Can anyone say that the universe is conscious through them? I awakened last year and these videos are a lullaby to me from the universe.
