- Longchenpa, also known as Longchen Rabjam , ‘Infinite, Vast Expanse of Space’, or Drimé Özer (1308-1364), was one of the most brilliant teachers of the Nyingma lineage. He systematized the Nyingma teachings in his ‘Seven Treasures’ and wrote extensively on Dzogchen.
Reading excerpts taken from 'The Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena' -Translated by Richard Barron (Lama Chökyi Nyima).

My wife asked me what excites me recently and my first response was Samanari La you tube Dharma. What a precious gift to be able to find these teachings so freely and so purely expressed. We often play your videos as we formulate our Tibetan medicine in our lab. Blessings and love ❤
I totally share your feelings.
Right on bro. I second the motion.
Just curious if you don't mind me asking, what's the Tibetan medicine?
@@dustinperry8512It's an ancient system of medicine from Tibet with sources from Persia, China, India, and, of course Tibet. Plants of all sorts from the Himalaya are used, and all parts of the plants as well as minerals, precious stones and gems. The medicines produced are consecrated by Emchis (Amchis), Tibetan Buddhist doctors (now, Westerners as well).
Medicine Buddha is the primal doctor. Emptiness is the medicine that cures all afflictions.
@@dustinperry8512 Tibetan Buddhist Sowa Rigpa is the name of the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual practices that include lifestyle awareness, meditation, holistic use of foods and plants for health and wellbeing. Sowa is translated as “nourishment” and Rigpa as “awareness”, giving “nourishment of awareness” seeking the real causes of all suffering and dis-ease, both physical and mental and to relieve that suffering Sowa is “healing” and Rigpa as “science”, resulting in a Buddhist spiritual practice of the “science of healing” and is inclusive of plants as healing food to regulate and support our physical and spiritual body.
Tenets of Tibetan Buddhist Sowa Rigpa teach practices of right livelihood (ways to thrive without causing harm to Gaia or each other), right humoural selection of foods and plants according to the persons humoral characteristics for creating the best health conditions, eating in season to help secure balance and healing in the body and mind. Meditation and living a holistic lifestyle in balance with the seasons are a basic part of Tibetan Buddhist practices of Sowa Rigpa taught by the Medicine Buddha.

Oh sister, I'm saving this one up for just the right moment. What riches you lay at our feet!
Nothing can compare on CZcams to my enjoyment of listening to S.J.’s readings. I live for this!
Thank you for making these teachings available and accessible for us. Truly a gem in the cacophony of the online world.
I am a Buddhist by birth yet I didn’t know anything about Dzogchen until I came across this channel few years ago. Thank you Ani
It’s interesting that the mind puts so much effort into controlling and owning something that is naturally occurring
These precious teachings by Longchenpa are so profound. We are fortunate that teachings like this still exists in the world and that there still are great living masters who uphold the lineage and have realised the meaning of what’s expressed in this teachings.. I bow down to those who teach this Dharma 🙏🏼💎⚡️
Thank you Samaneri for sharing this precious Dharma in such an inspiring and beautiful way!🙏🏼🙇 ❤☀️🌜🪷🪸☸️

🙏🧡
Thank you 🙏🏼
...thank you...thank you thank you....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏❤️❤️❤️
Wow -- I typically don't value words or "wisdom" because they obscure the clarity and light and "spaciousness" to be had but wow what a quote around the 5:10 mark: "All-consuming thought patterns cannot be abandoned by being renounced, for they are the dynamic energy of awareness. Their true nature is that there are no distinctions, nothing to differentiate or exclude ; so that nature is not insured by achievement but arises as basic space."
I can't even begin to explain what your recordings are doing for me! I do want to check in and say hi and asked how you were doing and tell you that matters to me. Your voice is the most significant voice in my life I have become addicted to the softness of your voice as well as a text to you choose to read thank you for all that you do.😊
✨🌲🧡🙏🏻🧡🌲✨
Bless you❤
blessed is he
@samanerijayasara I don't understand anything any more but this should be fine.
WOW!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many thanks. ❤️
Truly Ultimate. Thank You 🙏
Seems almost there, Always !
That was epic! Beautiful !
🙏
I'm so very grateful for you❤. Thank you for these wonderful gifts ❤❤❤
Absolutely love listening to these stunning messages! Thank you so much 🩷🪷
Can I just thank you for all of these readings you do? I spend hours doing the work, or work the hours (I’m not sure how quite to put it into words accurately) letting the wisdom of these readings lead me to a spacious, quiet state where time loses all meaning and it is surely a beautiful gift, which is to say, it is love. Your voice and the pace of your reading is so helpful and, for me, has made the work possible where before I struggled constantly without any progress and gave up before I could find any peace; or even experience any real obstacles to that peace.
Thank you so much for all you do. It is changing my life, and I know my life is always changing but I hope you know what I mean. With love and light. 😊

I like this statement
Simple yet profound
So similar to Adwaita, Non Dualism
For information, I did a bit of research on the extent of his writings. It's quite staggering how prolific Longchempa was. Here is some data: -
Longchenpa's texts vary greatly in length. Here are some estimates on the length of his key philosophical works:
The Seven Treasuries - His largest collected writings total over 1 million words. The longest single treasury is the Treasury of the Ultimate Dimension which is over 200,000 words.
Trilogy of Natural Ease/Freedom - Each of the 3 texts is approximately 30,000 to 50,000 words in length.
Finding Comfort and Ease in Meditation - About 8,000 words.
Treasury of Philosophical Systems - About 175,000 words.
Treasury of the Way of Abiding - Roughly 145,000 words.
Treasury of Basic Space of Phenomena - Approximately 90,000 words.
Treasury on Buddha-Nature - About 55,000 words.
So his major treatises range from 30,000 words to over 200,000 words. His shorter texts can be under 10,000 words.
In the traditional pecha loose-leaf format, his works take up dozens of volumes. For example, the Seven Treasuries would be around 30 volumes and the Trilogy around 4-6 volumes in pecha format.
Do you have retreats? Courses, lessons? No one talks about these things! And they are way above my head yet surprisingly they make sense! 🙏🙏

This video is excellent. Rings so true. ... Is there an editing sanfu around the 16:00 - 17:00 mark ? There's several sentences that get repeated. It's not clear if that's part of the writing and given for emphasis or if it's just an editing mark by the creator of the video.
Thank you for another excellent video and introducing us to all these sages.
❤❤
👌🙏🙏🙏
What fortune
This is a long one! Shall have to break out my weightlifters back brace which works wonders when it comes to supporting the back during long meditations.
This is a non-meditation though.
I know what you mean. I've been using these recordings to start my silent meditations. i've been using a meditation chair that supports my crossed legs and knees (semi lotus) and helps y back & neck stay straight. That meditation chair and Samaneri Jayasara have been phenomenal in helping me access deeper states of silent letting go. with time....
♥️💖💗🙏
I'd love to download this Jewel.... can't find it in the Drive?? Is there a link or is it under another name in the Files? Thanks so much ❤️ Jayasara
Hi Monica, you can find it in the Longchenpa folder now titled "The Ultimate Non-Meditation." All the best
what is Enlightened intent ?
According to one commentator, the term is dgongs pa, and the translation "intent" is not totally satisfactory. It actually refers not to an intent per se, but a Buddha's continuous state of samadhi. Translators try to deal with this usage in a variety of ways, none of which really capture the meaning, similar to the limitations of the translation of the word 'citta' or 'Dhamma' in the Pali.
The term dgongs pa can mean intention, but in regular Tibetan, it is commonly just an honorific for mind/thought (sems).
But perhaps it's, best to let Longchenpa himself explain that term as it is quite a unique term used mainly in translations of his. He says: "The natural abiding of enlightened intent is meditative absorption as a state of resting imperturbably. If the characteristics of ordinary consciousness do not stir in the mind, that itself is enlightened intent."
So...we could say that if one turns the mind continuously towards the Deathless element - the natural abiding of Awareness itself - and stands upon that, one can attain final fruition, or the supreme awakening. The enlightened intent is perhaps this "intention" to recognise and to naturally abide in this ever-present Awareness which is self-liberating. Hope that helps clarify somewhat.
thanks for the explanation . while listening to you, i hear a melody . much of the words though not understood by me ,i feel very restful. thanks
Deep gratitude for posting these rare teachings. Wonderful!!
I would love it if you could expand on this phrasing, ' Enlightened intent ' it seems like mind activity.
Thank you Sister, scrolling down answered my enquiry. The term was repeated so many times I felt I needed to understand this. A sublime pointing, listened to many times.@@SamaneriJayasara

Sublime❤
I have a most sincere inquiry. If all we need to do is be still, why do we seek and search and listen to so many enlightening things on the search for enlightenment? Even the sages and gurus sought knowledge on their search so why is it we are told to not seek anything? This is where my mind gets a bit tangled in all this.
Exactly, it is the thinking mind that gets tangled in trying to understand and figure this out conceptually or intellectually. But when one surrenders ones thinking and rests quietly in the stillness of the heart, then all confusion ceases, all searching stops, and all questions are put to rest and answered.
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you so much!!!! I truly needed your honest and kind words 🩷🙏🏻🩷
