    Teachings of the Buddha - Bāhiya Sutta - from the Udana 1.10 - translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. Lees meer

    In this brief teaching, the Buddha taught Bahiya to put aside all views of self arising from confused and deluded thoughts based on clinging and craving. Bahiya was right to understand the immediacy of needing to awaken through the Dhamma. No one can know when sickness, aging and death will arise and this is why the Buddha gave these final instructions moments before he himself passed: “Impermanence and decay are relentless. Strive diligently for your own salvation.”

  33. Vajrayoginī - Instructions for Cutting Through Delusion (Trekchö) - Dzogchen

    15 augustus 2021 · 31 min

    Afspelen
    Trekchö is translated as ‘thoroughly cutting through’ (resistance, stubbornness, toughness and closedness), or ‘breakthrough’. The practice of trekchö reveals the view of primordial purity beyond conceptual elaboration. Trekchö means cutting through delusion with fierce, direct thoroughness. Vajrayoginī is a Tantric Buddhist female Buddha and a ḍākiṇī. Vajrayoginī's essence is "great passion", a transcendent passion that is free of selfishness and illusion - she intensely works for the well-being of others and for the destruction of ego clinging.
