[Speaker 1]
Please relax your forehead, and relax your mouth, small smile, relax your hands, and relax your eyelids. If you like, you can focus on your forehead, the spot between your eyebrows.

[Speaker 2]
And go into your head a little bit.

[Speaker 1]
And please watch your breath. If you like, you can breathe through your forehead.

[Speaker 2]
Then imagine that you are walking across an empty place, in the dark, complete dark.

[Speaker 1]
And far ahead of you, you can see a light, like a candle light. Then you come close to the light, and it's almost as big as you are. And you come through the light.

And on the other side, it's dark again. Again, it's dark. Then on the horizon, you can see very faint white light, like the sun is going to come up.

And then there's more soft white light in the sky. And it grows and grows, until the whole sky is a soft white light. And then again on the horizon, there's a soft red light is starting to replace the white light.

[Speaker 2]
Until the whole sky is a soft red light.

[Speaker 1]
Then that red light starts to go away. And it's all just black again. All around you, black.

Now try to go deeper into black. And now deeper into black. Third level of black.

[Speaker 2]
And now the black has some crystal quality.

[Speaker 1]
Difficult to describe. But little bit like a diamond or crystal. And that means your mind is very close to emptiness.

Now inside that crystal dark, comes your heart teacher. If you haven't met them yet, then try to imagine heart teacher.

[Speaker 2]
And you ask them to come.

[Speaker 1]
Because in this moment, there's no other protection. The doctor is gone. Family and friends are gone.

Money and house are gone.

[Speaker 2]
You are completely alone.

[Speaker 1]
Only one person can come to this place to help you.

[Speaker 2]
That's your heart teacher.

[Speaker 1]
So, right now, ask them to come. It's not a picture of your heart teacher.

[Speaker 2]
It's not a video of your heart teacher. When you ask them to come, the real one comes. Their body is warm.

[Speaker 1]
Their body has a wonderful fragrance of a very rare flower. They're looking at you with great love.

[Speaker 2]
They are real. All the good things I did in my whole life, even very small things, opening the door for somebody at the teaching in Thailand, making a cup of tea for somebody, little good thought about how hard people are working for me.

[Speaker 1]
All those good karmas my whole life, all together, their power is making this lama, my heart teacher, to come to me in this darkest moment of death. So, we'll spend a few moments together with the heart teacher. Very quiet.

It's not a picture. It's the real one. And we'll just spend a few minutes here together with them.

Every time you look at them, then just please remember where did they come from. They are all the good things I did for my whole life created this person. Then please come back to your breath.

Watch your breath. Long exhales. Then slowly you can open your eyes.

Stretch.
