Analyzing,
even analyzing emptiness, is nevertheless still illusion. Getting
attached, even getting attached to a deity, is still slavery. Thinking,
even thinking of Dharmakaya, is judging. Meditating, even meditating on
the absence of thought, is still conceptualizing!
Then Nagarjuna perfectly understood the meaning of the primordial state and expressed his realization thus;
I am Nagarjuna!
Beginningless dharmakaya, not being composed of aggregates, is happiness.
The
voice that is without interuption and transcends the very concept of
“voice”, not having material characteristics, is happiness. The mind of
wisdom that transcends the very concept of “mind”, not having either
birth nor death, is happiness. I have understood that bodhicitta is
total bliss!Sound like genuine The enlightenment experience and expression of it.
So now I have to ask; If Zen is so anti-intellectual, why is Nagarjuna
held in such high regard by Buddhist schools, especially Zen! Been in a zen sect for nearly 20 years. You guys and girl )) have introduced me to this Nagajuna character, he is completely new to me. Nice to read his enlightenment tale of power. Thanks Lex for bringing this forward and these words here ring true
Dzogchen is concerned with the direct introduction to the primordial
state. This is why it is so important to have a direct perception of
emptiness so that one is prepared for the introduction to the primordial
condition.
