In the debut dharma transmission of the Rainbow Light Transformation, Grandmaster Lu explained where the light comes from and how one can transform into rainbow light—the highest attainment in Dzogchen and Mahamudra.
Lights are within our bodies, and they can be uncovered through the breathing practice of the subtle vital energy, channels, lightdrops, and the innerfire. The Treasure Vase Energy is the foundation of all attainments, as stated by Guru Padmasambhava. Once all seven cakras are opened, then one radiates rainbow light.
However, the crucial pith-instruction is in the state of No-thought, where one is completely devoid of any thoughts in one’s meditation. No-thought can only be achieved through the great mastery of meditation, together with wisdom, and they are a pair of wings that bring us to buddhahood.
Grandmaster also stated that all sentient beings—each person and each living being—will eventually attain buddhahood, that we are all the primordial buddha! The reason why Sakyamuni Buddha wanted to leave the world upon attaining buddhahood was because he knew that sentient beings would attain buddhahood eventually, on their own accord.
Editor’s note:
Nevertheless, a lineage guru is pivotal in imparting wisdom and methods. Without purification, any human being is enshrouded with layers of obscurations. Hence, let us all honor the guru, treasure the dharma, and practice diligently!
