Friday:

Observe the primordial mind.

Saturday : Comments on the Heart sutra

Mind should be seen only by the mind, mind should look inside, observing how thoughts arise, look at the nature of thougths they are empty and clear, there is no object to grasp, like the clear sky.

Neither existent or non existente this is how the unexpressable ultimate nature of mind can be experienced.

View of perspective view, universal mind, transcendent awareness, release the grasping on conscoiusness to reach empty conscoiusness, the primordial awareness.

Mind is the creator of all this phenomena.

Natural state of mind is like electricity it is used everywhere in different ways, but its essence is still the same.

Realize the empty essence of the mind so when death comes through grasping to the body and self there will be no rebirth.

Transform negative emotions to primordial awareness then they can't harm.

Recognition of the primordial mind is free of ignorance.

Temporary arising of thoughts and emotions thats how samsara manifests.

No grasping and no thoughts then there is no suffering.

Self aware primordial awareness.

Shouldn't be grasping towards primordial awareness.

Grasping and fixation is the problem.

Path of fire, seeing, meditation, accumulation of application, of no return. Tadyata om gate gate paragate parasam gate bodhi svaha.

True meaning of the mantra is to undertand how the negativ emotions can be liberated through transformation to primordial awareness.

Doubt is a great obstacle in this practice.

Alchemy

She grabed me by my hands and took me to a forest. There were huge pine trees. She started to climb up, I followed her. After the middle of the tree, I found a bird sleeping on the branch. I woke it up and it flew away, it was a beautiful bird, it was a fire phoenix. While I was watching the flight she reached the top and there was a nest with a golden egg. - I found the stone of wisdom! - she shouted.
