Tucci 3.11: bhāvanābalena, by the power of meditation. of meditation, one first finishes with all one's obligations and empties one's bladder and bowels. Then, in a pleasant spot free from voices, noise and so on, having oriented oneself towards great compassion, the yogin who wishes to rescue all living beings resolves, “May I bring 8Tucci 3.14: niṣpādayitavayā. D 56b6: dgod par bya all sentient beings into the heart of Awakening.” One makes prostrations to all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas residing in the ten directions, by placing pictures of their bodies in front of oneself or elsewhere, praising them as much as one can and making offerings to them as much as one likes. Having confessed one's faults, one rejoices in the merit of the entire world. Then this one whose awareness is drawn inward should sit down on a very soft and comfortable seat, in the manner of the venerable Vairocana’s Lotus posture, or alternatively in the Half-lotus posture, with eyes directed at the tip of the nose, neither too open nor closed, and with an erect body that is neither too bent nor too rigid. Then one should square one's shoulders. The head should be kept neither raised nor lowered, moving neither to one side or the other, thereby keeping the nose properly centred. One's teeth and lips should be left natural, while the tongue is placed at the upper base of the teeth. One's respirations should not be accompanied by sound; they should be neither hurried nor heavy but rather should in this way imperceptibly enter and depart, very slowly and without effort. |
