Once Doubt is Cleared
Once doubt is cleared, don’t forget it, because the memory of that clarity will serve us well for the next bout of doubt (doubt isn’t permanently cleared for some of us 😉 ).
Once we recognise, we decide that is so, and gain confidence. Basically, this is saying that, when thoughts arise they are immediately liberated upon recognition: we are not just reacting, and can thus review the situation in an intelligent manner.
Garab Dorje’s statement – Hitting the essence in three words:
Recognise the face of rigpa itself.
Decide upon one thing and one thing only.
Gain confidence in the direct liberation of rising thoughts.
“When, from out of the primordially pure Dharmadhatu,
suddenly Rigpa arises, and with it there is an instantaneous recognition, it is
like finding a precious jewel in the depths of the ocean. No-one has created it – it is just the Dharmakaya”.
Garab Dorje
Life is too short to keep on doubting.
If we recognise pure awareness (rigpa),
then doubt does not occur.
We have arrived.
Once pure awareness has stabilised,
then confidence is automatic.
With confidence,
compassion is automatic.
