day nineteen – today [ excerpt from bardo prayers]<\/p>\n

….look closely at the nature of what makes you afraid, and you will see emptiness
\nwhich has no nature whatever; this is called the dharmakaya<\/a> ? the absolute Buddha
\nnature of all things. But this emptiness is not blank nothingness. The emptiness of your
\nfear manifests as wakeful clear awareness. That is called the sambhogakaya<\/a>, the ideal
\nappearance aspect of Buddha nature.<\/p>\n

The emptiness aspect and the clear wakeful awareness aspect are not two separate
\nthings; the nature of emptiness is luminously clear awareness, and the nature of
\nluminously clear awareness is emptiness. Now the indivisible emptiness-clarity
\nawareness is stripped bare and the naked mind abides in the natural unfabricated state;
\nthis is called the svabhavikakaya, the state of resting in own-being. Then the mind?s
\nown natural creative energy manifests everywhere spontaneously and without obstruction;
\nthat is called the nirmanakaya<\/a> ? the compassionate emanation body.<\/p>\n

Look carefully in this way without distraction. As soon as you recognize your own
\nmind, you will attain complete enlightenment manifesting in these four ways. Do
\nnot be distracted. This is the dividing line where buddhas and sentient beings are
\nseparated. It is said of this moment:<\/p>\n

In one moment they are different,
\nIn one moment there is perfect awakening.<\/p>\n
