Clarifying the Natural State

1 min read

These are my notes/quotes from the book Clarifying the Natural State by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal.

Part one: Preliminary steps of guidance

to ward off laziness reflect on impermanence; to dispel obstacles take _refuge and form the bodhisattva resolve;

Part two: The Main part of the Meditation Stages

Steps of Guidance:

  • Guidance through shamatha
    • seven fold posture of vairochana
    • At night, focus the attention on a pea-sized white sphere between the eyebrows.
    • Once you have achieved a natural sense of calm, interrupt the practice and take a short break. Do short sessions but repeated many times.
  • Guidance through vipashyana
