Eva Natanya, 19 May 2020

Today we will go into the longer version of the Phowa practice in the Chariot of Liberation. Eva (Yangchen) first comments about the supplication to the lineage contained in this practice. She details a little on every member of that lineage, allowing certain mysteries to remain there. After her commentary, Yangchen addresses the nature of the Copper Colored Mountain and Sukhavati, and our prayers to go to either of them.

Eva then talks about a parallel to Christianity in the concept of speech emanation of the Dharmakaya. She also speaks about how our single pointed devotion to the the divine can arise our devotion to all its manifestations, the five facets of primordial consciousness, knowing that these are the windows through which the divine can speak to us.

Meditation starts at 33:00, and is on the longer version, with some commentary by Yangchen in between.
