OLD IS GOLD.

Sometime we hear that the tradition is old,has to adapt to the modern way so on.
Our countless illusions specially for are old,even if they take a modern aspect.
As Chandrakirti says in the "Four illusions"wich are out of time if we don't realize we are living in an illusory world we will never be liberated from sufferings.
We have to realize that what is dirty is not clean,what is pain is not pleasure,what is impermanent is not permanent and what is ego is n't ego.

GESHE TADRIN RABTEN:When will I?

When will I come to have the joyous experience of seeing that appearance and emptiness assist one another just as they do in the case of the rope snake?
When I thought in terms of conceptual imputation,these numerous distorted apparitions appeared.
But they were still accompanied by the innate grasping within my mind.
It made me sad to think that I was still uncertain.

The eleven drawing of the wheel of life is of a person who has been shot in the eye with an arrow.

If someone has been shot in this way there will be unberable pain,a very gross experience of sensation.
So this picture simbolizes the link of feeling,after coming in contact with an object the child in the womb begin to experience corresponding feelings.
For example if the mother drinks cold or warm liquid he has the feelings of cold or warm.
Comment:here Geshe Rinpoche explains feeling in terms of a very gross pain.

What is the relation between Tchu-Len and Chod.


Both they where practized by the Great Yoghi Padampa Sanghie who reached the stage of  Dorje Chan.
 He was contemporary of Milarepa, there is a very nice story of their meeting,He is belived to live up to these days at WuTaiShan China.
Tchulen is the union of relative and absolute Bodhicitta,Tchu is bodhi (light),len is citta the mind,in this context..
Chod is the cutting of all conceptual thought,specially the grasping at a self existent I,or pure intention and action united in the aim of destroying yours and all sentient beings sufferings, the grasping habit to a self existing reality.
How we do that with Tchulen,we take the essence of the union of the two bodhicitta by meditating on the clean clear nature of the mind, embracing the relative and absolute in the clean clear light of our mind nature,destroying naturally all allucinations about you,action and others.
Uniting all into the clean clear light,cutting off naturally with no effort all the rest of concepts.
Just clean clear light is all there is beyond all words and conceptions,checking always,with the fish like awareness, if the grasping to the old habit again reify the old reality, that never existed in the way it appeared.
TARA NGALSO Tchu Len-Take the essence, free yourself from all problems with the help of Tara.


Tchu is the essence,the union of the relative and absolute in the clean clear light.
The meditation on the clean clear light is the vehicle and the path,normally we do not say vehicle and path can be same,in the case of the clean clear light meditation we do.
The clean clear light meditation is vehicle and path leading you to the taking of the essence.
Take the essence by concentrating your mind on the clean clear light.
 The essence is the effect of clean clear mind meditation.
 Ngal-so.
 there is some work to do in a realaxed way,something to eliminate and something to realize,ngal to eliminate sowa rigpa the wisdom of healing to realize.
Tara is the liberator,liberating you from all problems as it is illustrated in Her mantra
 OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA.
Tare means free,tuttare free from all problems,ture rapidly.
So Tara free rapidly from all problems,Ngalso work in a  relax way while eliminating the problems,Tchu-Len developing the wisdom that realize Bodhicitta relative and absolute.
This is the meaning of Tara ngalso tchu len.
The essence of the Lam Rim,The Graduated Path to Enlightenment,is Bodhicitta,relative and absolute.
How to unify the two in one.
The relative Bodhicitta is the development of the wish and action.
It is like i wish to go there(wish)then you go (action).
The action Bodhicitta is the practice of the six Paramita,the actions gone beyond the ordinary way of acting.
 You need a starting point,that's the meditation on clean clear light,wich is not the realization complete,but the starting point,you need to start somewhere.
This leeds you to realize no thought,no more gross crowded thought,but of course there is still thought this is not the final realization of reality but it leads to,it is a subsitute a sublimation.
So you unify the relative and absolute into the clean clear light.
Light not only in terms of the source but in terms of a light that unite source and effect.
That's the essence the union of relative and absolute Bodhicitta, in the light of the clean clear state.
But of course you have to put it in action integrating everything into that clean clear light,remembering this is not the final goal but a way to sublimate,to lead you gradually to the final realization.
You cannot pretend I want to be Enlightened in one second,that's Ego again.
So be patient and continually concentrate on the clean clear light,gradually unifying souce and effect.
With this clean clear mind practice the six perfection,by remembering the goal of the perfections is Wisdom. 
The real chod practice is unifying subject object and action.
So you cut by the weapon of clean clear light,the gross dark blocked conception held by the ignorant grasping.
The clean clear light meditation is the essence of all realization,by developing it you reach the unity,of cause and effect,of course this is a gradual step by step process.
Borobudur is a map for the discovering of  deep relaxation.

Relaxation in terms of letting go of the grasping mind,grasping at (concrete) reality as being existent from their side,having nothing to do with us.
The historical monument is located in the island of  Java Indonesia.
It was builded around 850 A.D.during the Buddhist Dinasty of  Sailendra family.
The king was desperate for the continous eruptions that where destroying the land and the people in the island,so he went for refuge to Guna Dharma Thera a highly realized Guru leaving there,who instructed him to construct a Mandala to pacify the wild energy of the island.
The first thing the Guru instructed was to construct a monument invoking the energy of relaxation from the ten directions.
With that monument even now you can invoke the subtle and extremely subtle energy of  all Enlightened Beings to bless you(chin lab),change your energy from negative to positive,helping you to realize the essence that is the union of relative and absolute reality.
The Union of Absolute and Relative.
