Lady Tsogyal asked the master: After having practiced in this way, how does one awaken to enlightenment?
The master replied: When you have trained in the thought-free nature of dharmata, thoughts—the causes of samsara—grow weaker and more quiet, while thought-free wakefulness becomes spontaneously present. This wakefulness is serene; its domain of experience is utterly pure; and the three kayas and other enlightened qualities appear naturally, like rays that shine from the sun.
Once you have mastered this nature, your body may remain in the world of human beings but your mind abides at the stage of a buddha. Once you have practiced this way, there is no doubt that you will awaken to buddhahood in the bardo. In other words, within your sky-like personal experience—dharmakaya that is utterly uncreated—the sunlike sambhogakaya and nirmanakayas will, in the perceptions of others, work for the benefit of sentient beings, like the sun’s rays.
