CHAPTER 02.DYING MOMENTS OF LIFE.

Death is all in a natural way. Death is the intersection leading to the future.
We have to treat it with the strength of experience T sage.

In this chapter we will consider the dying process and how to deal with death when it occurs, including intellectuals and some experience of "delog" who went through the dying process and return to earth after their experiences.

With the appearance of "fatal attack", the illness, injury, or other events leading to death, we enter the dying process. In the dying process, the components that make up the body and mind will break all. For accomplished practitioners, the dying process ends with the appearance of true nature. For ordinary people, the process ends with the death stopped breathing and fell unconscious of death.

Most people will go through the experience of the dying process more or less described below, but the fulfillment of practitioners may not need to go through this experience. When dying, with the power of meditation, we can merge the realms of our self and intellectual vacuum, which is Buddhahood. If the realization and maintenance of this unity, so we had attained Buddhahood. If unable to do so, the legal Phowa, we can transfer my consciousness to m chilli pure land of Buddha and reborn there.

Process of dying

Upon entering the process of dying, or dying, consciousness gradually leaves the body when the component form, feeling, perception, knowledge of body and mind began to disintegrate. First of all the subtle power of the body becomes disordered, and then we go through the decay of the five components mentioned above.

The crystal element and the force of the body

To be able to track resolution process described below, we should understand a little more about the human body based on Buddhist mysticism. Each element of the body is composed of four elements or a combination thereof: land, water, wind and fire. Land made in the hardware of the bones and meat; Water is the fluid such as blood, lymph and urine; Fire is body temperature and metabolism; Wind is the breath and the movement of substances crystal and the capacity of the body. There's also the fifth element, no (space), contains four other elements. Physically, it corresponds to the space in the body.

In addition to the physical aspects of the body is delicate system of power inside. The three components are crystal system is air power, channel and nature.

Channels (tsa, Nadi) is a network of numerous channels forming the crystal path of the body force. Three main channels are the central channel, right channel and left channel.

Engineering (lung, prana) is the power of the crystal represents the force moves through the meridians. Sometimes they are called because of the wind's energy activities: (a) gas goes up, making the talk, voice, and swallowing; (b) gas by fire, causing the heat of digestion and (c) gas goes down, helps the excretion.

Essence (Thigle, bindu) is the red and white liquid crystal moves through the meridians of the body with purified air force. They are described as the ball drops or creativity essential that we receive from our parents at conception. Pure white male power is fine from our Father, and the red is fine essences of her female power. In the dying process, two crystal began gathering force in the heart. The regulations are at death.

Many Buddhist mystical doctrines use the subtle power of this body as a means of cultivating essential. For example, the master taught his disciples Tsele "cultivation of channels such as accommodation, such as the movement of air and the essence of enlightenment as an ornament." When the experience of pure bliss, the practitioner moves his heart and essential resources together through the meridians, sow pure pleasure. As a result they put on the heart and the central air and keep it there did not move. Thus the central channel becomes longer than a meridian of the body. It became the practice and the results attained, the supreme realm, free from the limitations of the concepts, distinctions, and inclinations.

The resolution of the elements

When the dying process begins, gas or crystal forces, first became chaotic and started scattering, and we go through two stages of the resolution. In the first phase, ie the resolution of the external forces of the four material elements: earth, water, wind and fire of the body dissolves, and then the senses stop functioning. In the second stage, the resolution inside: the thoughts and emotions of the mind to stop. Each phase is accompanied by certain inner experience.

The inner experience takes place in the dying process, what is nature? need to understand that when we draw the sense of inward and outward focus all attention on the transformation taking place in the body in the process of death, all of our world becomes that particular event. For us, the whole universe into the changes taking place in his body at the time. That's why these variations occur even in a drop of blood will be feeling shattered earth. A hair on our heads seem like a big tree. Habits of fear as well as trends and other emotions will appear in the form, the living image, the realm, the sounds and emotions. Here are some of the experience that we see described in the narrative of the "delog" later in this chapter. First of all, the physical earth elements dissolved in the water element. At this point we feel you are incapacitated or connected to earth elements of the body which has the specific nature, strength, and in the head in place on the ground. On our pale like not having the energy body. We can feel you are falling or sinking down, and land is at the bottom of his fall. We can not sit up or stand up, we lost her balance, and feel like you are being pressed by a heavy object. That's why the dying often ask : "please pull me up. I feel like I'm sinking down." We can feel and see the blurred image magical.

Second, the physical elements of water-soluble element of fire. Here we can feel you are losing water or power connection with wet elements of capital, liquid and suffering. We may feel very thirsty, saliva drips down, then dry the tears fall. That is the reason that the dying often ask: " Please give me some water, I thirst . " We may feel uncomfortable and choking and see the image appear like smoke.

Third, the fire element dissolves in the body of the air element. At this point we can feel you are losing the ability to connect to a fire or fire element which is quite warm, making mature and burned. If the dying has been a practitioner of the center and establish merit lifestyle with compassion and serve others, dispersing the heat from the body starts in the legs and move up toward the heart. If the dying person lived a bad, spoiled and selfish, then the dispersion will start in the upper body and move down toward the heart. In both cases, the heat will eventually disperse from the heart. He may not see anything anymore, everything seems like red sparks on a good background.

Wednesday is the air element of the body dissolved into consciousness. At this point we lose the capacity to feel the wind or air element connected to the light and taking into capital flows. We try to breathe. Breathing becomes shorter and longer breath. Then the "breath" external termination and eyes rolled up. At this time, those who have not lived a good life, could see mirages in the form of frightening images, and those who could see the moral of the fun pictures. We can also see images like light.

Finally enter the realms of consciousness does not melt. At this " inner breath "terminated.

The different resources have different opinions about when to terminate the breath outside and inside. Termination occurs at different according to each person, because each one has its own personality (individual natures) of them. Generally, when the lungs stop breathing after three long breaths, then it is time to end the breath outside. When consciousness leaves the body completely, it's time inside and breathing stopped.

If death is due to our karma will be very difficult for us to reverse death. If death due to unexpected circumstances, not because of karma, we can still be revived by means of medical or spiritual. But in normal circumstances, we can not be brought back to life as delog. They went much further than this stage but they had risen.

The three parties in the resolution

Once inside stopped breathing and the mind has lost the connection with the elements of the body, the meridians, pure air and the body will decay. Our breath into nothingness. The result is that in time, three-phase dissolution within subtle, more refined and delicate one, or three retreat, will take place:

1.Than soluble form into the "best generals." At this time, pure white that we have received from the Father comes down from the top through the central channel. We see everything in color

"Whitish", not shiny or bright white as daylight, but white like moonlight on a cloudless sky. All thoughts of hatred ends.

Two. Minister tan color into "increasing." At this time, from the central base of the abdomen red essences that we have received from the mother to go up the central channel. Everything looks a bit red, like sunlight on a cloudless sky diving. All those involved accept the idea over. But there are people who experienced first image reddish, whitish image below. According to Ambassador Tsele, this is the best time to make the transference of consciousness Phowa.

3. "Increased melting into" achievements. " At this time, the consciousness of the air by the force, became surrounded between pure Parent and everything becomes "black", like in a cloudless sky collection moonless night. At this point, confused thoughts to an end.

Now gas, essences and knowledge gathered in your heart. This event is called nowhere into the luminous tan. The appearance of the "basic clarity" will be held next heralded into the next stage, the true nature state, will talk to in the next chapter.

After the melting of nowhere enter into clarity, the average person will fall unconscious, but there are different interpretations of what happens when basic clarity appears. According to Karma Lingpa, the teacher in the middle of the cessation of breathing outside and inside, if they are advanced practitioners, we will find clarity the true nature of the body when the gas goes into the central channel. But the average person will become unconscious and breathing inside stops. Then clarity the true nature appears. Jigme Lingpa also wrote: "When black appears, will not in the realm of consciousness. And eight reappeared energy and consciousness will vanish. At that time the light of the primitive state will appear. In light and long, like the autumn sky. Head in a vacuum and clarity, not misleading and is not covered. "

Kyabje Dudjom Ringpoche said that when gas dissolved into the consciousness, the mind will fall into a state of permanent unconsciousness. But for the teacher or practitioner achievement experience, after about two minutes the unconscious mind will dissolve into nothingness and emptiness will melt into clarity.

Need to know a very important thing, that's not all those who are dying have the same experience in the same order. Tsele writes that the explanation of the resolution is just the general way people go through that experience, but can not say for sure that will all have the same experience. Each channel has a type, gas and various essences, and each will bear an illness or accident forces of evil (death) different. Thus the resolution can take place for people to follow the different order, or may take place simultaneously.

The experience lasted how long? Tsele wrote that "the time of the resolution of external and different. For most people, each experience can last a moment, and three inside the special resolution will not last longer than a moment.

We should do when dying?

Average people what to do with the resolution of this stage? First of all we must try to realize we are in the process of dying. We should try to keep calm as much as possible in the experience of this resolution and not panic. We should try to remember that every minister and sharp fleeting experience is the reflection of the mind and emotions of ourselves, like dream. We should not hang on to them, because they are unpleasant, or frighten them. We should experience everything as their spiritual path. Head of peace, we should be calm to any situation that appears and disappears.

We should remember taking any approach to spirituality or spiritual experiences that are familiar in their lives. The spiritual approach to the familiar is more effective and easier for us. We should remember the source for his household, as the Buddha, the teacher, the good mental objects, these teachings, the meditation experience, and use the experiences and memories to support their spiritual roots. Try to remember the practice of his teachings, all the spiritual experiences and his spiritual force, then best for them. Feeling the Buddha, masters and divine is always present to myself, is to protect and guide her. From the position, let your light peace and power vacuum and dread, to their joy, overwhelmed and transformed his body into light body like the rainbow, radiating peace and strength . Then try to remain in the body throughout the process that spiritual death.

We must constantly remind yourself " I must stay with their spiritual experience. " This is really good influence and help us remember their experiences, even in the difficult process of dying . If the head with his experience, the dying process will be less difficult and will take us to a pure land rebirth or a peaceful and healthy.

If you have realized the true mind when alive, we must try to remember to remain in this sense the true nature. Whatever happens to also try to find all just a manifestation of his true nature, rather than pursue and hang on to those thoughts and experiences with attachment or aversion.

If we already know and practice the true mind and the clarity of its dreams, it is time to head in that experience. It is time practitioners reminded us of the experience that we are experiencing. Longchen Rabjan advised: " In the dying process, the physical elements of the resolution will be. People will see visions blurred, distorted. Then the land, water, wind, fire and physical damage will not resolve the . Five senses will stop functioning. At that time should remind yourself: "I was dying but do not need to worry . "

Then consider: "What is death? Who is dying? The dead where".

His death is a signal to return the four elements that you have borrowed.

True nature is unborn immortal.

In the pure state, it means the union of vacuum and the natural state of dharmakaya News Supreme Body. "

Just consider: "What is death? Who is dying? The dead where?" Because death did not have anywhere so it's absolutely not true. Be courageous and believe in this. Jigme Lingpa written that in the process of dying, the best thing to do is to remain in true nature. The second best is the transference of consciousness to a pure land. At least not dwell in the Three Jewels Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha. Prayer his teacher, and merge your mind with his enlightened mind.

Guru Rinpoche advised us to go to practice, to pray without something to hang his death, remember the teachings, meditation and let the true nature of their integration with vacuum "when death draws near, please let go of attachment to anything, concentrating on the teachings shed light not move, and transfer to the true nature unborn vacuum state ".

The teachings of such masters of dying and death are the important points to remember and apply, not only in the dying process, but also in all four stages of life transitions, including this present life.

Death experience of the delog

To illustrate what happens when we pass the word, tell me a summary of ten narrative of the delog. Of course this is personal experience. Remember that people will have different experiences death, because of differences in mind, physical, karma, cultural influences, trends habits, and circumstances of their death.

As mentioned, the delog are very religious people, and many are the teacher achievement. Back to life because they had not done these things. Part of their experience will be different from what you or I would meet his death, but there may be similarities to those contexts, mental, emotional or cultural similarities.

In this narrative, we pay attention to the dying process. We will return the majority of this delog in Chapter 3 and Chapter 5, to experience after death to how the path of the true nature and the intermediate bardo realms.

The capacity decay: the experience of Karma Wangdrin

Karma Wangdrin died in seven days. Lhotrag Born in southern Tibet, she was the most learned and devout. Her husband is Depai Drung, headman Oktra. She went to school Traphu Monastery with Lama Norbu Trashi teachings, and have seen visions of White Tara, as well as the great master Padmasambhava.

Karma has a year of retreat for prayer and meditation. One day she suddenly fell ill, did not want to eat anything and do not recognize the familiar. The next day, a friend told her, sobbing: " Noona, her deep eyes, her nose broken (the sign of death.) Should I call her husband is not here ".

Karma I was thinking: "if his illness could not stand his small, the practice is useless?" Then she told friends: " just for tomorrow " . But even that afternoon, she felt cold, she felt thirsty, but drinking water to spill out the nose.

These signs are four great force decay began to appear with her. She felt her body sink whether you pull her up. It's a sign of physical force is melting into the earth element. Her nose and mouth dry because of dehydration, but though very thirsty, she could not drink water. It's a sign of haemolytic capacity to enter the water element. She trembled with cold, despite being up for the warm blanket. It's a sign the body heat melted into the fire element. She tried to breathe, but difficult to breathe in, or hold the breath. It's a sign breath melt into the air element.

As light began to fade visual ability to see, she could not see or realize what's around. When hearing weak, she could not hear what you're talking to me. When the nervous system loses control, she could not say a word anymore. She had almost lost contact with this world and ready to enter the realm that you would come.

But during these events, her mind remained clear Karma, like fish in the clear waters. She remembered all her loved ones, but know that they can help each other anymore. For her, it was time to go it alone. Karma does not believe that I have gained an experience practice at all. The memories of all the bad things she had committed her place in the mind, and this made her cry inside.

Next is a loud noise, and her breathing completely stopped. She sank in the dark as if a candle was suddenly blown off. All forces withdraw her mind into the heart, and she fell into unconsciousness. Karma unconscious for a while and did not know was alive or dead.

Let me merit: the experience of Lingza Chokyi

Lingza Chokyi was born in Kham, Eastern Tibet belong. She was sick for sixteen days and did not have a ritual or a remedy that can help them get well. She thought: " I was dying. When I was young to religious life, but not ones for leaving their families. I know a little about the teachings, but have less experience, because very little meditation , I also was not giving anything. Alas, I wasted all my precious human life, that human life is filled with a rare opportunity to practice achieve liberation. Now I have to go out of the world potential with empty hands. By the time it was too late repent . "

Then she thought continued, " before his family was killed two or three dozen buffalo and sheep each year. " This makes Chokyi worried because killing is one of the ten major precepts of Buddhism and karma will bring suffering and oppressed hell. She worried, " it is now not to pray for his safety. This means that I will have to face bad karma without good karma or merit at all. husband and their children only interested in material possessions. They scrimp and there is little faith in the law. But anyway I have to ask yourself are they going to do any rituals . "

Chokyi call relatives to his bedside and told her husband " I will not survive this illness. Now I have to say some last words to him. in my life did not make any merit but create more unwholesome. Please use one third of his fortune to establish merit for me . " In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the relatives of the deceased used a large fortune to make sacrifices, to chant, meditate, play food for the poor, release of animals (such as purchase and drop birds, animals or fish), to build the tower, temple, monastery or offerings Venerables German nuns. They believe that such things would merit, good karma, leading to death serene and peaceful rebirth for the deceased.

Chokyi said, "half my jewelry will be for our daughter. One half will be used to create merit. Whether it also would make any formal way pure teachings. If possible, both the Practice preach a little, otherwise death will be regretted. At least two of my sons also have to practice a bit. Please do not mysterious to keep my three children to suffer from a woman other . Please promise me that he would do these things. "

At this point her husband said, " if you use a third of her assets, we will eat with what? children's jewelry we need for her own. After her death, I will continue suspension to house sitters. the children were too young to be independent. I'll use a little for her, but can not promise how much ".

Chokyi think, " he will not make any big sacrifice for her. Why have the opportunity and ability to establish their own merit not yourself? legendary and he will keep the children will suffer. Poor them it too ".

The conversation made Chokyi sad. This sadness feeling dizzy. Then she felt I was being pulled under the ground, and she began going through some scary scenes. She felt I was being pushed down by the force of many, floating here and there in a large space, and trembling with the cold ice. Then she felt his body was burned in a cemetery burned corpses, saw sparks and heard the howling of the fire, when that feeling ended, she was blown away by a storm . Then she felt her body was cut into pieces by many people with different instruments. All of this terrible event as a consequence of the elements earth, water, wind, fire break in her body.

After all these feelings, she saw visions of red, white and black. Next is feeling no memory or consciousness, and this is the lasting welfare state. Then the resurrection, she could not remember this experience for how long.

The gods had to put her to death yet? Sangye Denma experience Seng-ge

Sangye born near Chabdo in Kham, Eastern Tibet. He studied with many teachers, including the fourteenth Karmapa (1798-1868).

One day at age fifty-five, he felt pain in his heart like a bullet had hit. He began to have strange hallucinations. He did not want to eat and drink anything when I feel physically as if ready to remove all internal organs out. He felt nervous limbs were pulled toward the heart.

Sangye is their fear of dying. But he could not do anything to keep their lives. He became so sensitive to everything, to the extent of whatever happens to also make him fear. His breath each time a shorter. He is suffering and insecurity like a human hand bird or a fish suffocate torn up on land. The light in his eyes faded quickly. Then suddenly all dark colors become generals.

Sangye go through a series of painful experience when the force of the elements of the body begin resolution. At times he felt very thirsty, as if part of the body is burned, and he coveted a drop of water. Other times, he felt crushed by a heavy object like a mountain. In the next moment he felt I was being blown away like a feather in the storm. There are times when he felt the sun and the moon fall to the ground. He heard the loud bang like thunder thousands at once, and saw the lightning strike with thousands simultaneously. Then he felt a house down, but the fact that his own body collapsing. But as soon as the images and these feelings go away they appear as a hallucination.

Then Sangye see more sparks like fireflies in the night sky. Sometimes they appear obvious, sometimes not.

Sangye remarked: " These appearances occurred because the land resources, water, wind and fire are disbanded when their dying. " But then, in accordance with human nature, he felt fear. Many questions to pull. "Affordable're experiencing disintegration of the big four? Same as in countless past lives, death has come back to me or what? The gods to bring their dead to go yet? I will not live long than the stars? ".

He felt trapped in a dark place, but in fact his body is now gone light. There he saw nine holes (eyes, ears, nose ...) can help him get out of the dark. He looked through the hole and going up three times HIK was negative as was taught in the transference of consciousness Phowa. This enabled him to escape through the hole in the tenth openings at the top of the skull.
According to Buddhism, at death consciousness will find yourself escaping through one of the ten "doors" (permanent lodge and natural subjects). If consciousness go through the door in the upper body, this helps the practitioner reborn in happy realms of happiness. Practitioners are taught a closed low, especially the low door, with the letter HUM meditation. Then they move straight up through the central channel of the crystal with force force of meditation, and exit through holes in the skull at the top of the central channel at the top.

Cloudless sky, like the luminous light: the experience of Dagpo Trashi Namgyal

Namgyal is Dagpo Trashi central Tibet. He has been dead for five days. He suffered pain in the head and upper body. Knowing that death may be coming, he wanted to know the teachings of the intermediate bardo realms.

When the physical elements of the resolution began slowly, conscious of his outward into the starting rotation. He saw visions of light in color. This is not a light outside, because his consciousness is seen by the eye, a light inside yourself.

First he takes the audience aware of the five senses: color, sound, smell, taste and touch. When the vision faded, he does not recognize the people we know. His ears could not hear, noses can not ng a weak i, the tongue can not taste, and body can not feel anything.

Earth elements of his body dissolved into water and body became heavy. When water soluble elements into the fire, his mouth and eyes feel dry, and he felt thirsty. The veins of his book seems to be just like a hanks. Then the element of fire melt into the air element, his body temperature and wind dispersed.

Because the air element is the essence of true nature, so when the external breaths end, his consciousness into light tan clarity. When the outside air to breath inside the breath of his first experience of the three experiences appear.

First of all he sees "excellent minister". As a sign inside, his senses become clear. The Outer becomes whitish, like the moon. The sense of his escape from temporary changes and he felt clear and bright.

Then the "best general" integrated into "incremental". As a sign inside, he saw sparks, like fireflies. As a sign outside, he saw everything as reddish dawn sky.

Then the "incremental" melt into "achievements". His senses are still a few bright moments. He saw the flames and light like a lamp. Ignorance about the true nature of his termination. Then appeared cloudless sky, like clarity. In other words, he began to experience the fusion of clarity in the morning which is like the sky cloudless autumn, a state in no way coarse or subtle cognitive resources on the subject (mind) and object ( material).

The feel at death: the experience of Samten Chotso

At age nineteen, Samten Chotso from Kham of Eastern Tibet, had near-death experience (delog) for seven days. The physical element of surprise stirred her, and she was prepared to die. These hallucinations occur continuously. She knew he was dying and she began to have hallucinations following comments.

First of all the elements and the senses of her body began to disintegrate: when the blood vessels of heart failure, she felt a mountain turned upside down. Then the blood vessels in her eyes shut, and she felt like the sun and the moon fall down. Then the blood vessels in the tongue stops working, and she felt th MasterSergeant y space is illuminated by the lightning. K ế to the blood vessels in the ear stops working, and she heard the thunder of thousands broke out at the same time.

A unique delog: the experience of Dawa Drolma

Dawa Drolma (1910-1941) was born in Washul Thromtha province of Kham, Eastern Tibet. One of her little son is Tulku Ringpoche Chagdyd master (1930-2002), who live and practice in the United States and Brazil in recent decades.

Chagdyd guru Tulku Rinpoche (1930-2002)

Dawa Drolma is unique in the delog because she knew I would have previous experience delog. So she had prepared for himself and for others around her. Delog her journey lasted five days.

In 1924, Dawa Drolma often there are times of deep import. One day she saw Tara was white and he gave the following prophecy: " I going to get sick and die, but if you follow the directions given after five days, the child will live again as a delog and to benefit many people. " Teacher of the Dawa, Chogtrul Rinpoche, reluctant acceptance of her desire to prepare and go through an experience such extreme. For her help and remind her " head in the conceptual mind, do not fall into thoughts. Keep comments clear, and their respect for the teacher and the protection of their gods. Development compassion for with living beings. "

Then Dawa Drolma become very sick. She asked Master Chogtrul Rinpoche and others in which to do the following: " Clear out all the food and water out of the room; After I die, wash the body of water be taken vows with the technology presence of a girl named Drolma; To symbolize the Buddhist sect of the child, the child will be green bandanas; door of the house will be locked with locks, locks and wrapped in a green cloth and sealing it with a seal with the scorpions. A green suit will sit outside to watch the house. In five days at my death, no one was in my room or noise around the house home. When risen, I will need a coat made ​​of blue cloth and fur. You will need to pay voluntary water to rinse your mouth. " She also requested the celebrated lama of the same rituals as Yunka (a female Buddha) and the Year of the Goddess of Long Life and prayer Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava University).

She and other teachers to sacrifice fifteen Yumka on the Tibetan lunar calendar. The teacher reminds her again: " Keep calm mind is not distracted with wandering thoughts. In order to merge with the true nature center, because the mind will naturally do so in death . " When it's time, Dawa Drolma keep peace of mind natural state. Her experience as a state of vacuum and happy, perfectly pure and immaculate. All delusions were terminated. She did not fall asleep in the realm not, where no thoughts. She does not get stuck in the network of pleasure or conceptual clarity. She also goes by the delusions. She is in the realm of the mind is not infinite nature. So she stayed in a different state of mind, though she could hear all the sounds and voices around. On the morning of twenty-six, she saw clearly the presence of White Tara , his patron goddess in front, inside a block marvelous light.

Then she saw from the pure land of the Great Master Padmasambhava with a rainbow light in the parallel light projection into her room. In the midst of this light, the four "dakini" (Goddess) dressed with beautiful jewelry appears as Dawa's entourage. They put her on a palanquin covered with multicolored silk. Dawa Drolma and four bronzes dakini chanted prayers and recite seven sentences Vajra Guru Rinpoche Mantra continuously for heart sincerely. She saw all these images in their marketing flexibility.

Consciousness unobstructed travel: the experience of Gyalwa Yungtrung

He invited many lamas to celebrate forty-nine days, according to the belief that almost no one remained in the intermediate bardo realms after seven weeks. He used his wealth to do all these rituals. Day and night he thought of love and kindness and sad because her mother died. Then one day, while meditating on his mind, he found it sterile and naturally present, another time, he felt the physical world and are not, his mind can go everywhere without any hindrance, he must connect with the consciousness of his mother wherever she was staying. B at ng he felt his body leave.

Gyalwa spent more experience, as we shall see in Chapter 5 of the bardo realms of experience in the delog. At this stage he did not write about the event or not their experience the resolution of the four elements of the body. Testimony about his death just shows again that individuals experience the dying process in a different way.

True nature: the experience of Tsophu Dorlo

Tsophu Dorlo an accomplished teacher. His real name is Dorje Duddul, the origin Khrozur, but he was called Tsophu Dorlo people. He has experience at the monastery of Pema Sheltrag delog at Nya-rong, Eastern Tibet.

In 1923, when sixty-one years old, he suddenly fell ill Dorlo, and everyone hopes he will not recover. To reduce distress of the disciples, He gave them the words and say certain things as to them that He will return in the next life. In a flexible market, his main teachers, Zhing Kyong Rinpoche, blessed him and said: "This is not the time to go into the Pure Land, you must go to save sentient beings in hell." lama gave him a hand-held prayer wheels to carry his large size.

On Wednesday evening, the signs of death began to appear. Dorlo trying to keep pure mind with the teachings and instructions of his master. His special interest is best for keeping the wisdom mind of the Lama and his best remain in the state did not move. In a moment, his head in his true nature. It's very presence and status of unshakable unity and the clear light of mind vacuum.

Soon the disintegration of the physical elements of the beginning. As signs of melting into the ground meat, Dorlo felt his body fall and sink into the ground. When blood dissolved into water, he lost the capacity of the body, his nose and mouth watering, and his tongue dry. When the heat melted into the fire element, his body heat loss, the clarity of his mind at that time did not, then his eyes rolled up, he did not recognize the familiar. When breath melt into the air element, his breath became heavy and his limbs trembling, his heart felt hushed and he saw dreams as illusion faded.

After the disintegration of the rough elements, he began to experience the force resolution of the crystal. When pure flame red essences come up ie, the "best generals" melt into "incremental", and everything becomes reddish. When pure water ie pure white down, and "incremental" melt into "achievements". Everything becomes whitish. Then when the most sophisticated energy end, "achievements" melt into "clarity". Everything became dark.

Wisdom mind becomes clear: the experience of Jetsun Lochen Shugseb

Shugseb Jetsun Lochen (1865-1953), also known as Jetsun Chonyi Rigdzin Zangmo, is one of the greatest sisters of Tibet in the twentieth century.
