43 Page 43 of 151 The Mahamudra of Bliss and Openness Bringing the Bardo 2 into the Path of the Mindful Sam-bho-ga-ka-ya 3 Tigle s (Bija Shamatha and Vipashyana) Mindful Meditation Anu-yoga s 1 st Meditation upon Bija 4 Bliss This is what Karma Chagme referred to as Meditation with an Object Palms UP 11 Both Index-fingers Fixed-air Calves Laid-back, Smart Generous Tam OUT-breath: void! 4 breaths 2 The Tibetan word Bardo literally translates into the English phrase in between, but in the context of the Three Bardos it refer to the state after the swoon of death but before rebirth. 3 Literally the body of blissful light (as depicted in Buddhist mythology) figuratively a metaphor for the mastery of yin s mindfulness (as opposed to yang s concentration). 4 the Sanskrit word Bija translates as seed, or seed mantra,. In Buddhist Tantra it symbolizes a Buddha s mind that is perceptive (clear, as opposed to opaque) yet as void and non graspable as the infinite azure sky on a beautiful, cloudless day. This of course begs the question, How is one to realize the void nature of any object? To do so, one has only to notice the object during one s IN-breath, and physically relax during the OUT-breath. Although this is a bliss meditation, it is NOT our job to waste time or energy either visualizing the syllable Tam, it s letter T, or contriving the sensation of bliss. Remember, energy follows thought, and thought is lead by words, so by skillfully, silently, and mentally reciting the above words, your subconscious could very well take care of the rest. By the way, in Buddhism bliss is simply used as a monosyllabic synonym of pleasure; some is coarse and some is subtle. The important thing is NOT how much bliss you feel, but simply that you re mindful of the experience during the IN-breath, and that you relax, to the best of your ability, during the OUT-breath.

Although this is a bliss meditation, it is NOT our job to waste time or energy either visualizing the syllable Tam, it s letter T, or contriving the sensation of bliss. Remember, energy follows thought, and thought is lead by words, so by skillfully, silently, and mentally reciting the above words, your subconscious could very well take care of the rest. By the way, in Buddhism bliss is simply used as a monosyllabic synonym of pleasure; some is coarse and some is subtle. The important thing is NOT how much bliss you feel, but simply that you re mindful of the experience during the IN-breath, and that you relax, to the best of your ability, during the OUT-breath.
