Part 5B – Ati yoga and dharmakāya

This is Part 5B of Bodo’s talk on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He continues elucidating the teachings of the supreme Ati yoga and the three modes of enlightenment; ālayavijñāna, śūnyatā and dharmakāya.

This talk also deals with topics, such as clarifying the views of what is a Soul, compared to the Hindu concepts of Ātman and Nairātman. Explanations are given of the ‘flowing river of consciousness’ and how it relates to the I-consciousness, and other concepts like the Two Truths, relativity, the Eight Consciousnesses, and kliṣṭamanas.
