Saṃbhogakāya

We didn't go through all these stages differently.

Instead, either Sambhogakaya or either Nirmanakaya, one of the six Buddha families, that mandala and Kalachakra.

So you will liberate with any of those.

That means when we empowerment, then we look at which one is your Buddha family.

Four kayas and four wisdoms.

Four kayas is...

Svakkakaya, Dharmakakaya, Sambhogakaya, Narmakakaya.

Okay? Four wisdoms.

Rinpoche gives a Shambhala prayer commentary.

Okay, so before we have this one, the verse, if I am unable to do so that the mudra of recollection, may I master of the realization of the dharmakaya, it did, I am unable to do that by retaining the supreme wisdom of the pure joys may I liberate in truth a manifestation of Sambhogakaya.

So that one I said that the third no third, sorry, the fourth, for fourth yoga, retaining yoga, we call sordid.

Sordid is retaining yoga.

If you can achieve that in this lifetime, then you have two possibilities.

You become a Buddha in Sambhogakaya, form or you become the highest level of bodhisattva, tenth level bodhisattva in Sambhogakaya realm.

So you have to understand that difference is you become a Buddha Sambhogakaya form or you are Sambhogakaya realm as the 10th level of bodhisattva, it's a little bit different.

That means if you turn in the 10th level of bodhisattva, Buddha realm, Buddha Sambhogakaya realm, then soon you become a fully enlightened Buddha.

The energy of it flows out in different ways, which we'll look at later.

This energy is these two forms, the inner mandala of the Sambhogakaya, the outer mandala of this world of troubles and sorrows.

Constant communication.

It's no entity sealed in themselves.

Someone tells you a sad story, you become sad, and you say, "Oh, my dear, how-- that-- this must be so hard." Someone tells you a happy story, you say, "Oh, I'm so glad for you.

How wonderful." Your facial expression, your tone of voice is changing.

When they tell you the sad story and this f-feeling arises, oh, this is a Sambhogakaya.

Was ist das? Sambhogha means, uh, being with or enjoyment or, um, being touched by.

I particularly like Shinzen Young's middle path philosophy on the subject.

From his book The Science of Enlightenment, Shinzen calls this strata the realm of powers and says, "When journeying from surface to source, some people encounter celestial and empowering experiences in the Sambhogakaya.

It may seem to them as though they are meeting angels, visiting the worlds of the gods, or achieving psychic or healing powers.

It may seem to them that they can remember former lives or travel outside the body." Shinzen also talks about a period of time in his own journey where he saw, with his eyeballs, very large, six-foot-tall insects walking around.
