NAM SHES NYING PO RGYEN — комментарий Чже Цонгкапы на Abhisamayalamkara

[Speaker 1]
Okay, so now we go to the four formless realms. Are they really formless realms? Ronit says no.

[Speaker 2]
Why do you say no?

[Speaker 1]
Why? Yeah, they cause the formless realms, they're not formless realms, okay? They cause.

If you do that meditation a lot and you die, you'll be born in the formless realm, okay? So, here's Tsongkapa on the four formless realms, okay? By the way, sometimes they call them kye che.

Kye che usually is a book, it's from Stanley Bandu's book. It means the eighteen categories, sorry, twelve categories, kye che. Twelve, sorry, twelve doors of sense are called kye che.

Twelve doors of sense. It means the six objects, and the six powers and consciousness, so six and six, six and six. In Sanskrit it's called ayatana, ayatana.

But sometimes they call the four formless realm meditations kye che also, okay? So, don't be confused. Okay, sume shila nam kathaye ki kye che.

These have cute names, nice names. The names help you remember the meditation. The first one's called infinite space, space with no end, endless space, okay?

[Speaker 2]
The first one is called infinite space, or space without end, without borders.

[Speaker 1]
suk dang tokpe du she rakpar tong ne, du she de yang dang yang du nambar shik ching nam kathaye so nyampe du she yang dang yang du gongpar chepe, ngu shi du su te ngun tu gyur pe, sem se chikpa tsum den dang chepa Oh, there's the definition of it, okay? How do you say? During the four form realm meditations, we were focusing on the heart, right?

And there was some awareness of physical, the physical heart. Then, as you go into formless meditation, you're going to take the heart, okay? And you're going to let it break down and dissolve.

[Speaker 2]
So, we'll start at the heart, beating heart.

[Speaker 1]
Awareness of some piece of meat in your chest, right? And then the transition is very similar to the air conditioner to the heart.

[Speaker 2]
So, if you're teaching it, you have to say, now, compare your heart to the physical heart.

[Speaker 1]
Endless space. So, between those two steps, at the fourth step of the form realm, you are still in your heart, right? As you go into the formless realm meditations, let your heart break down like a sand castle.

The water gets to the sand castle and it starts to dissolve.

[Speaker 2]
Dissolve.

[Speaker 1]
Like a sugar cube that gets wet, you know? So, you're going to focus on your heart. Then, let that—it's called here the picture of physicality in your mind.

And let that idea of physicality dissolve. Then, for me, what comes next, it always felt like to me like horizontal. I don't know why.

The heart dissolves like sugar. Then the mind just stretches out infinitely. It goes infinitely.

It never stops, okay? So, it's a feeling of like you just start spreading and you keep going and you never stop, okay? As wide as the universe.

Okay? Let's try. We don't have a lot of time.

Let's try to go there. We're going to watch the breath, then we're going to dissolve the heart. What's the condition of the body?

Numb. Anesthetized. What's the emotion?

Nothing. Nothing.

[Speaker 2]
Neutral.

[Speaker 1]
Also anesthetized, okay? But there should be this sensation of the heart dissolves and the mind starts to just leak as far as space, okay? By the way, this last, we did four so far, right?

Oh, we did five if you count the air conditioner. If you count the desire realm.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
We did five if you count the desire realm. Now we're going to do six. But just to give you a heads up of where we're going, when you do the lion's dance, maybe the whole thing takes an hour, okay?

[Speaker 2]
And you don't stop.

[Speaker 1]
You don't stop. You go from one. You go from air conditioner.

Four.

[Speaker 2]
Four. Four.

[Speaker 1]
And then, purposely, you come back. That's most of the lion's dance, okay? Okay.

But, you're going to have to do something over here. You're going to park here for a while. There's something beyond the formless realm, okay?

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
Just to give you a preview, okay?
