"见性"， 师父刚才所传的"前面一个念头过去， 后面一个念头不生， 这个中间把它延
展开来， 无量无边"， 这就是见性， 见到自己的佛性， 见道自己的法性。
~ 圣开导师开示录 (第一集)
In an experience of 'no thought' and 'no sense impressions', the
Presence will be felt as all-pervading. It is not vast, but all
pervading. There is a difference here. Vast denotes great distance.
All-pervading denotes infinity... no border... no center.
Further insight of this infinity may allow you to understanding
why space, location and distance are merely impressions.
~ Our moderator Longchen
Dzogchen teacher Tenzin Wangyal (1997, 29) points out:
The gap between two thoughts is essence. But if in that gap
there is a lack of presence, it becomes ignorance and we experience
only a lack of awareness, almost an unconsciousness. If there is
presence in the gap, then we experience the dharmakaya [the
ultimate].
Guru Padmasambhava, in Self-Liberation through Seeing with Naked
Awareness:
7.Now, when you are introduced (to your own intrinsic
awareness), the method for entering into it involves three
considerations:
Thoughts in the past are clear and empty and leave no traces
behind.
Thoughts in the future are fresh and unconditioned by
anything.
And in the present moment, when (your mind) remains in its own
condition without constructing anything, awareness, at that moment,
in itself is quite ordinary.
And when you look into yourself in this way nakedly (without any
discursive thoughts),
Since there is only this pure observing, there will be found a
lucid clarity without anyone being there who is the observer;
only a naked manifest awareness is present.
(This awareness) is empty and immaculately pure, not being
created by anything whatsoever.
It is authentic and unadulterated, without any duality of
clarity and emptiness.
It is not permanent and yet it is not created by anything.
However, it is not a mere nothingness or something annihilated
because it is lucid and present.
It does not exist as a single entity because it is present and
clear in terms of being many.
(On the other hand) it is not created as a multiplicity of
things because it is inseparable and of a single flavor.
This inherent self-awareness does not derive from anything
outside itself.
This is the real introduction to the actual condition of
things.
