Self-Immolation

“Bodhisattvas are not attached to their own happiness, Nor are they crushed by their own sufferings. They suffer because others suffer, And find joy in others’ happiness.”

"The tradition of Nath, the tradition of Aghori, actually it is not Hinduism, it is actually ancient tantric practice. It is the [same] origin of the Tibetan Vajrayana. "As you know, the Tibetan Vajrayana became a little bit diluted, or watered down, in some sense because of the background of Tibetan culture, Tibetan language, Tibetan tradition. Things were a little bit different, but the root is all the same as what we see with the ancient tantric practices. The same as the Aghori tradition..."

Teaching by Venerable Luang Phor Uttama（หลวงพ่ออุตตมะ ဦးဥတ်တမ） We have to believe in the law of kamma. According to the Abhidhamma, even though one may have engaged in many meritous acts in this life, if one is frightened at the time of death, i.e. one's mind is overwhelmed with disturbing emotions and fleeting thoughts, one will inevitably recollect the negative deeds that oneself has done in this life. If you follow this thought process at the time of death, you will not have a fortunate rebirth, and will inevitably take birth in the womb of a non-virtuous person. Therefore, when one is about to die, one should recite arahang, arahang continuously and let the mind focus on the mantra. Let the mind only dwell in goodness. Alternatively, others could invite the Venerable Sangha to do chanting for the one who is about to pass.

Everywhere Is A Pure Land “When you experience that phenomena are unreal, you will then be free from the concept of self and other, right and wrong, and free from the afflictions of greed, hatred, worry and pride. You will not need to search for peace and purity, and you will not need to detest evil afflictions and impurity. Although you live in the world of phenomenal reality, to you, any environment is a Buddha’s Pure Land. To an unenlightened person, you are but an ordinary person. To you, all ordinary people are identical with Buddha. You will feel that your own self-nature is the same as that of all Buddhas, and the self-nature of Buddhas is universal throughout time and space. You will spontaneously apply your wisdom and wealth, giving to all sentient beings everywhere, throughout all time and space.” ~ Master Sheng Yen

The Sūtra Petitioned by Kāśhyapa says: "Mind does not exist inside nor does it exist outside and it is not referenced as not both." The Sūtra Petitioned by Maitreya says: "Mind has no shape, has no colour, has no location; it is like space"

"Truly the mind is like space; it seems to face in all directions; it seems to transcend everything; it seems to be everything. But in reality, the mind does not exist." Avadhuta Gita, 1.9

Emptiness, the ultimate nature of Dharmakaya, the Ultimate Body, is not a simple nothingness. It possesses intrinsically the faculty of knowing the nature of all phenomena. This faculty is the luminous or cognitive aspect of the Dharmakaya, whose expression is spontaneous. The Dharmakaya is not the product of causes and conditions; it is the original nature of mind. —Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Rahu swallowed the Sun

"Shakti is the creator of the universe, The universe is Her form; Shakti is the foundation of the world, She is the true form of the body. Shakti is the form of all things, Of all that lives and moves in the world. There is no jewel rarer than Shakti, No condition is superior to that of Shakti." Shaktisangama Tantra

In some traditions, pure luminosity is worshiped as a last phase englobing these states of consciousness as its creative vibrancy. Fortifying this gnostic ritual with the expansive joy of caste-free sexual union and the consumption of wine, flesh, and the impurities of the body, the initiate penetrates through the inhibition of external values and the rebirth-generating bondage of self-awareness that this inhibition entails, thereby attaining the conviction that his individualized consciousness is but the spontaneous play of these universal powers. No longer enslaved by the appearance of subjection to the not-self in consciousness, he achieves liberation within the very flow of extroverted cognit.

“Adverse conditions are spiritual friends Devils and demons are emanations of the victorious ones Illness is the broom for evil and obscurations Suffering is the dance of what is” - Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye
