    by

    Gendn Rinpoche

    Lama Gendun Rinpoche was a great meditation master. He spent over thirty years of his life in solitary retreat in Tibetand India. He was one of the last great masters of the old generation of Tibetan Lamas. verything he taught had beene!perienced during his numerous retreats in caves in the Himalayas and in India. He represented the "uintessence ofthe fully reali#ed yogi and the perfectly pure mon$.

    Happiness is not to be foundThrough great effort and willpower.It is already present in open relaxation and letting go.Don't strain.

    There's nothing to do or to undo.Whatever momentarily and adventitiously arises in bodymindHas no real import at all,Has very little reality at all.Why identify with it and beome attahed to it,!assing "udgment on it and on yourself and others#

    Aground of all, ground of all experiene, samsara and nirvanaB. The five elements respetivelymanifest externally as spae, luminosity, mobility, fluidity and solidity and in the body as avities,radiane and warmth, breath and energy, blood and fluids, and flesh and bones.

    !resently, these manifest in an impure state. It is neessary to reali>e them as not self/existent, whihis their pure state. In the pure state, the five elements orrespond the five female -uddhas Athe ,pra-nas cf imageB.

    We are oneived when the red and white elements Aeah of whih is omposed of the five elementsBof our mother and father, respetively, unite together with our onsiousness whih is fre7uentlytreated as a sixth element. (fter we are born, in dependene on the nourishment of the five elementswe grow stronger until eventually we wea&en and die.

    It is said that after death most of us beome unonsious for a while. Then these five elementsemerge, in turn, into their pure form as radiant lights. 2ventually the elements ombine into tiglesAsomething li&e dropletsB to present to us 'impure' forms. In this onfused state our onsiousnessmay one again be drawn to the union of red and white elements of a new set of parents, and oneagain we ta&e birth.

    >ur present unenlightened state is based on a fundamental state of ignorance9 afundamental discursive consciousness, '&un shi nam she'. It is the fundamental onsiousnesswhih is distorted and onfused.

    There is, however, a possibility of experiening the true nature of mind, and when that pureawareness is present we no longer have '&un shi nam she' but '&un shi yeshe'Awisdom

    onsiousnessB. That hange of a single syllable from 'nam'to 'ye', ma&es a tremendous differene,beause now we are referring to fundamental !rimordial (wareness rather than fundamentalignorane.

    In both cases we are tal$ing about mind9 which essentially embodies what in ourphysical universe we term the five elements.The potential for these elements exists in the mindand sine always / it is not something reated at some partiular time. In its inherent nature, mindalways has the five elemental 7ualities, and it is from this potential that the experienes of the after/death state arise.

    When we spea& of mind, we spea& of something that is not a thing in itself. In its most fundamentalsense, mind is not something we an limit. We annot say it has a partiular shape, si>e or loation,olor or form, or any other limiting harateristi. The element we all spae, whih in our pereptual

    situation also has no limiting harateristis, is this very emptiness of mindM this is the elemental"uality of space in the mind.

    Dut mind is not simply emptyE it has the illuminating potential to perceive anythingwhatsoever.This unlimited ability of mind to pereive is its illuminating nature, and orresponds tothe element of fire.

    This mind, essentially empty and illuminating, gives rise to all e!perienceswhih, whethersamsara or 1irvana, is rooted in mind "ust as plants are rooted in soil. This funtion of the mind as theorigin of all experiene orresponds to the elemental "uality of earth.

    (nother aspet of the mind is its dynamic "uality. ?ind is never stillN no single experiene in itlasts, but 7ui&ly passes to another. Whether one is undergoing an emotional reation, an experieneof pleasure or pain, or a sensory pereption suh as seeing or hearing, the ontents of the mind arealways in a state of flux. This continual activity of mind is the elemental "uality of wind *air+.

    ?ind with these four elemental 7ualities has always been so and always will be. This verycontinuity9 and the fact that mind adapts itself to different situations9 corresponds to theelement of water.ust as water sustains its ontinuity and adapts itself to every ontour as it flows,the mind too is fluent, ontinuous, and adaptable.

    SHINAY MEDITATION / LA MEDITATION DE SHINE (English - French)

    (HI:

  • 8/14/2019 A Spontaneous Song of Indestructible Reality

    12/17

    peae in 2nglish. %hinay meditation is the proess whereby we alm our mind so that we anultivate a deeper awareness. It frees the mind from disruptive emotions and from our usual thin&ingproess. %hinay atually forms the basis of all the other meditations and praties.

    There are , obstacles *nivarana+ which affect our ability to meditate

    J. %ensual desire AabhidyaB

    . 1egative emotions, eg. hatred, anger, et. ApradoshaB

    C. )a>iness or inertia AstyanaQmiddhaB

    E. @estlessness and worry Aanuddhatya Q&au&rityaB

    R. DoubtAvihi&itsaB

    The first stepto pratie this meditation is to ma&e sure we are in a alm situation with nodistrations. ?ental larity an only be ahieved if we are free of these obstales. %hinay meditationan be pratised by everyone, irrespetive of their shool of -uddhism . This meditation is the state ofsingle minded mind or perfet mental stability and mental larity.

    There are various methods of practising shinayMall are very basi, li&e fousing on the breath orfousing on an external ob"et. The most basi and ommon form is attending to one's breath. (fterall, we are breathing every moment of the day. In the beginning, pratitioners are taught to ounttheir breath, beginning on the exhale to the number J. If you are distrated you begin again. Whenyou reah twenty one you ontinue again, beginning from one. (ll you are doing is breathingnaturally and ounting. (fter you are used to this, say a few wee&s later, you an then stop ountingand begin to follow your breath. ou fous on the breath entering and exiting from you. (lthough it isbest to be aware of the entire proess, often one an fous on one aspet suh as the oolnessfollowed by the warmth at the nostrils or the rise and fall of your diaphragm.

    If you find yourself distractedby sounds or thoughts, let them go, and ontinue fousing on thebreath. The same with any physial disomfort, or arising emotions, this way, we lose our attahmentto emotions, thoughts, et. and with pratie it disappears.

    Another method involves sight, whereby you fous on a part of an image, say of the -uddha, andthen you try and see the whole image learly. In the =a"rayana tradition, visuali>ation is usedwhereby we visuali>e ertain haraters or olours and we fous on them until we see them learly.What happens here is that our minds are so sattered that in this pratie of shinay it brings togetherall the parts so that we will be able to fous on our dharma pratie to attain enlightenment.

    >f primary importance is our motivation.If our motivation is perfet then our pratie will beperfet. We &now that all human beings want happiness and freedom from suffering, so ourmotivation should be that we do the pratie for the benefit of all sentient beings and after thepratie we should dediate all the merit we gained from the pratie to all beings, without &eepingany for ourselves.

    -uddha beame enlightened by benefiting others who still wander around in samsara. (s long as ourmotivation and our intent are pure and virtuous we too will ahieve reali>ation.

    indpendamment de leur cole de bouddhisme. Cette mditation est l'tat d'esprit occup

    simple ou perfectionne la stabilit mentale et la clart mentale.

    Il y a diverses mthodes pour pratiquer shin,toutes sont trs basiques, comme seconcentrer sur le souffle ou se concentrer sur un objet externe. La forme la plus fondamentale

    et la plus commune utilise le souffle. Aprs tout, nous respirons chaque moment de lajourne. Au commencement, on enseigne aux pratiquants compter leur souffle, en

    commenant par l'expiration jusqu'au numro 21. Si vous tes distraits vous recommencez.

    Quand vous atteignez vingt-et-un, vous continuez encore, en commenant par un. Tout que

    vous faites est de respirer naturellement et de compter. Aprs vous tre employs cela,

    quelques semaines plus tard, vous pourrez alors cesser de compter et commencer suivre

    votre souffle. Vous vous concentrez sur le souffle entrant et sortant de vous. Bien mieux que

    d'tre conscient du processus complet, souvent on peut se concentrer sur un aspect tel que la

    fracheur suivie de la chaleur aux narines ou l'lvation et l'abaissement du diaphragme.

    Si vous vous trouvez distraitspar des bruits ou des penses, laissez-les aller, et continuez

    vous concentrer sur le souffle. De mme avec n'importe quel malaise physique, ou avec desmotions surgissantes, nous perdons, de cette faon, notre attachement aux motions, aux

    penses, etc. et avec la pratique cela disparat.

    Une autre mthode implique la vue,par laquelle vous vous concentrez sur une partie d'uneimage, disons du Bouddha, et ensuite vous essayerez et pourrez voir l'image entire

    clairement. Dans la tradition du Vajrayana, la visualisation est employe dans laquelle nous

    visualisons certains caractres ou couleurs et nous nous concentrons sur eux jusqu' ce que

    nous les voyons clairement. Ce qui se produit ici est que nos esprits sont si disperss que dans

    cette pratique de shin on en rassemble toutes les pices de telle sorte que nous puissions nous

    concentrer sur notre pratique du dharma pour atteindre l'veil.

    D'importance primordiale est notre motivation.Si notre motivation est parfaite, notrepratique sera parfaite. Nous savons que tous les tres humains veulent le bonheur et l'absence

    de la souffrance, ainsi notre motivation devrait tre que nous faisons la pratique au profit de

    tous les tres sensibles et aprs la pratique nous devrions consacrer tout le mrite ainsi gagn

    tous les tres, sans rien en garder pour nous-mmes.

    In the 3#ogchen practice path we practice a non7dual approach9 introducing and reali#ingour own original9 inherent9 immanent Duddha nature.D>oghen relies more on being ratherthan doing and beoming something other than what we are. D>oghen is about reali>ing the

    inherent freedom and perfetion of being in itself, as it is right now. (wa&ening to that is the diretpath of D>oghen. That is why D>oghen masters say that we are all -uddhas by natureM we "ust haveto reogni>e that fat.

    3#ogchen canBt really be taught or learned from boo$s but it can be transmitted andreali#ed.

    In the D>oghen tradition speifially, one needs to be empowered to pratie the three mainD>oghen praties of Ru7shenA%ubtle DisernmentBM Tre$chod A9utting Through, or %eeingThroughBM and TogalA)eap *ver, or -eing ThereB.

    We don't really tal& muh in terms of vows and samaya in D>oghen, beause the priniple is to

    stabili>e your reali>ation of the =iewM if you're in the =iew, you're in aordane with your own truenature, whih is -uddha nature. In D>oghen the ommitment is to the subtle, profound, mystialpriniples of enlightened vision suh as Oone/tasteO Atse/hi&B and Obeyond/ationO A"a/drelB. a/drelorOfree from ation and inationO. (nother way of putting it is, -uddha nature does not depend on ourultivation of it. -uddha nature is innate, inherent, immanent in us. It's our true original nature.-uddha nature is human nature... D>oghen thought reminds us that we may feel far from It, but It isnever far from us.

    The Two 'rinciples of 3#ogchenare $ada$, or !rimordial !urity, and lhundrup, or %pontaneous!erfetionQ!erfet ?anifestation/(ppearane. ada$means primordial purity, or primordialperfetion, pure and immaulate, from the beginningless beginningM this introdues the radiantperfetion of things as they are, as well as the immaulate wholeness and spiritual splendor of our

    innate true nature. Lhundrup means that this blessed reality is spontaneously present and perfetlymanifesting every moment. In other words, the teahing is that our true nature is primordially empty,open and void AsunyataB, groundless, and not/a/thing, while it's also primordially manifesting itsperfet and boundless, spontaneous splendor as everyone and everything, and as any and every formand ourrene. In this splendid, overarhing =iew, everything is It.

    This luminous /iew of the :atural Great 'erfection transcends the dualism of perfect andimperfect. It implies that everything is primordially omplete as is, and uninhibitedly, inexhaustibly,spontaneously manifesting. We don't have to inhibit, alter, or adulterate anything in our experieneMwe an simply appreiate it as it as, and ma&e more wise and informed deisions about how s&illfullyto wor& with things aording to onditions and irumstanes. We don't have to try to beomeperfet or stop thin&ing and feeling / not to mention try to ma&e others hange aording to our own

    notions of how they ould or should beS The nature of the mind is primordially perfet as it is, and allits myriad manifestations are as well, thoughts, feelings, pereptions, memories, or whatever arises inthe body/mind omplex.
