The Path to Timeless Awareness

The practice of attaining timeless awareness begins with a clear introduction and preparation, which includes arranging ceremonial offerings and focusing on one's own awareness. The state of original purity is highlighted, describing awareness as empty yet pristine, akin to the transparency of space. This realization allows individuals to connect with their bare awareness, which remains unaffected by thoughts or memories, enabling a state of vivid presence in the moment. Practicing non-meditation, where one simply observes and rests in this awareness, leads to a profound understanding of the Dharmakaya—the essence of pure awareness untainted by conceptual distractions.
