Abstract

Longchenpa deploys eight reiterations of the experience of wisdom. Which, like Longchenpa at his culmination always, are an embodied, instantative and affective transmission. His words here are both expressions of experience and physical tools, the immediacy of which is like a spanner reaching across the centuries to recalibrate misguided perceptions into the instantiation of, and instantaneous access to, a pure transparence of spacious experience. There's nothing mystical here, because the words themselves are the vectors of this material causality.
