«Дар освобождения», курс 24 «Пустой Будда — высшая защита», занятие 2

[Speaker 1]
Okay, let's start to relax. Eyelids are soft. Mouth is a little bit smile.

Relax the forehead. And relax the fingers. Pull in the stomach a little bit.

And slowly come to your breath. Long exhale.

[Speaker 2]
Now please try to think.

[Speaker 1]
If you died in the week that you went home. Where would you die? In which bed would they put you?

[Speaker 2]
In which bed in your place? Which your family put you? If you had a serious accident.

[Speaker 1]
And imagine yourself in this bed.

[Speaker 2]
And you are going to die in the next ten minutes or so. And when you look up.

[Speaker 1]
You can see your family leaning over you.

[Speaker 2]
Try to imagine who would come.

[Speaker 1]
Which friends, which family would come to see you?

[Speaker 2]
They are crying.

[Speaker 1]
What's the last thing you would like to say to those people?

[Speaker 2]
Then it gets harder to breathe.

[Speaker 1]
Then your nostrils of your nose close.

[Speaker 2]
Take your last breath.

[Speaker 1]
The eyes close. Now you are alone. The fingers are feeling cold.

Very heavy. The feet are cold. The cold comes up your arms and your legs.

Your mind retreats into your heart. And you start to see inside your mind. You start to see visions.

[Speaker 2]
But they feel very real. You are in a place next to a mountain.

[Speaker 1]
And you are running down the mountain. And the mountain itself is breaking into pieces.

[Speaker 2]
Pieces.

[Speaker 1]
And you are running from the falling pieces.

[Speaker 2]
Very afraid.

[Speaker 1]
And you reach the bottom of the mountain.

[Speaker 2]
And you are still running. And you hear a terrible noise.

[Speaker 1]
Of a water flood coming down the mountain.

[Speaker 2]
But it feels like a tsunami. And you can't run fast enough. And the tsunami catches you.

And carries you.

[Speaker 1]
And you are drowning.

[Speaker 2]
Fighting to come up for some air.

[Speaker 1]
And then again underwater.

[Speaker 2]
The water is rushing across the land. You are fighting for breath.

[Speaker 1]
And suddenly the water is going away. And you are left on the ground.

[Speaker 2]
In a place like a desert. And the sun is very hot. Burning.

No water.

[Speaker 1]
You are crawling. Far away you can see something looks like water.

[Speaker 2]
You crawl towards the water.

[Speaker 1]
And as you reach the water, you realize it's only a mirage.

[Speaker 2]
There's actually no water.

[Speaker 1]
And you can crawl up to the mirage.

[Speaker 2]
And into the mirage. And then on the other side, there's like a fog or smoke covering the ground. You are walking through a thick smoke.

[Speaker 1]
Can almost not see the ground.

[Speaker 2]
Now there's sparks in the smoke. Small bright sparks in the smoke.

[Speaker 1]
You keep walking. And suddenly far away you can see a light.

[Speaker 2]
Like a small fire. And it's very very still. The flame is not moving.

And you come closer and closer.

[Speaker 1]
And it feels all this time like the world is getting more narrow.

[Speaker 2]
Like a tunnel.

[Speaker 1]
Now you're facing a flame. All around the flame is dark.

[Speaker 2]
And there's a silent flame.

[Speaker 1]
Like a candle flame.

[Speaker 2]
You walk towards the flame.

[Speaker 1]
And through the flame. And everything's dark. Suddenly you can see a small light on the horizon.

[Speaker 2]
Like the sun is coming up. Before the sun comes up, the sky gets a little bit white.

[Speaker 1]
You are walking towards this white light that starts to reach across the sky above you. Everything else is dark.

[Speaker 2]
And slowly the light changes to red. Like a sunset.

[Speaker 1]
And all the sky above you is a red light like a sunset.

[Speaker 2]
You keep walking.

[Speaker 1]
And the red light slowly goes away. And then everything is black. All around you, dark.

Now that dark changes. To a deeper darkness. And that changes to an even deeper darkness.

And suddenly it's like you are unconscious.

[Speaker 2]
No thoughts.

[Speaker 1]
Nothing to think about. Darkness outside and inside. And then suddenly like crystal.

Like you are inside of a crystal. And the world has a quality like crystalline crystal quality.

[Speaker 2]
Stay there for a few minutes. The whole world looks like the inside of a diamond. We'll stay here quietly for a few minutes.

Then slowly start to watch your breath.

[Speaker 1]
And then slowly you can open your eyes.

[Speaker 2]
Take a stretch.
