Confusion in dream realm self-purified（5）

Jianggong Guru edified to his lineage disciples, during retreat, all dharma of holding the dream state as mentioned above should be meditated in one day. The detailed arrangement is below: perform the self holding visualization in the 2nd seat of yoga each morning, perform the first kind of non-discrimination visualization in the 3rd seat of yoga each afternoon and perform the 2nd kind of non-discrimination visualization in the 4th seat of yoga at evening. Before sleeping each night, perform the discrimination meditation method of the errorless meditation.

There are four parts for meditating the dream situation: meditating the heart by means of the body, meditating the body by means of the heart, meditation method depending on the non-self mother, meditation method of the free willed heart.

Increasing and controlling the dream state has two parts, increasing the object of the dream state, and controlling and subduing the incidentally met object. After meditating the first, when any kind of living being or thing made of the four great seeds, whether crude or fine, is seen in dreams, if the yogi can think: this is an illusion of the dream state, it can be increased or changed at my will; and can really increase and change them, this indicates successful meditation of this step. The 2nd step, controlling and subduing the incidentally met object, can then be meditated. The controlling and subduing in the 2nd step also has two parts: controlling and subduing in the world and controlling and subduing beyond the world.

The introduction is omitted.

There are two meditation methods for “visualising the outside through dreams”. In the first meditation method, visualize oneself as the vajra body of white Chakrasambhava and visualize a pyramidal receptacle or skull below the navel chakra, white outside and red inside, filled with amrita…meditate like this according to the keys. When ending practice, visualize the bright great seal and the dual practice of presence and emptiness, and perform dedication and auspiciousness before going down from the seat. Then the yogi will really see outside things (e.g. sentient beings in the six realms, or even the Twenty-four Realms of Chakrasamvara, the Dakini Buddha kingdom and the pure lands of the ten directions) in dreams. After perfecting the 2nd meditation method, if the yogi wants to know the situation somewhere, they can think of the thing that they want to know before sleeping and pray for the blessing of guru of integrative nature. They will then see and find out when dreaming, without forgetting after waking the next day, and will be able to describe it in detail.

Meditating “visualising the outside through dreams”, upper roots can attain bright knowing strength without Yuan, middle roots attain the strength of performing consciousness and brightly seeing, and lower roots can also attain the strength of illusory body going to observe by itself.
