Chöying 22 (English)

Chöying no. 22 — The Transcendence of Causes and Fruits, part one, by Jean-Luc Achard, Translated from the French by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., 13 pages.  

The Natural State of the mind is not the product of causes and conditions. It fundamentally transcends all the representations elaborated by the intellect in an attempt to conceive it. It is prior to, as well as totally independent of, these proliferations. In this issue, this transcendence is illustrated by the simile of the sky.

Contents

2. The detailed explanation
2-1. The celestial semblance of the Natural State

Chöying no. 17 — The Primordial Perfection of Everything, by Jean-Luc Achard, Translated from the French by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., 14 pages.

This State is endowed with a dynamism (rtsal) that manifests as a nirvāṇic mode if one understands its nature or as a saṃsāric mode if one is unable to fathom its principles.

Contents

1. The Completion of Everything within Awareness
2. The display of nirvāṇic marvels
3. The illusory nature of conditioned appearances

 Chöying no. 16 — The Great Transparency of Awareness, Part Two, by Jean-Luc Achard, translated from the French by Marianne Ginalski, Khyung-mkhar, PDF ed., 13 pages.

Contents

7. The modalities of the Natural State
8. The integral perfection of Awareness
