At that time, a mind clear and free from concepts, like an autumn sky devoid of clouds, will come to all sentient beings. This is also the combination of the previous two. Once combined, it flows smoothly like a stream of water and a string of beads, and remains there for about a year or a month. Then, in the bardo, one will arise as the Sambhogakaya. It is said that the diligent ones will attain enlightenment in this very life. If not, one will arise as the Dharmakaya in the bardo, the bardo being like a five-year-old child. The color is in the form of the five Dhyani Buddhas. There, if one recognizes the eight examples of illusion and knows the non-duality, the five poisons will be transformed into the five wisdoms and liberated: the Dharmadhatu wisdom and the equality wisdom are the Dharmakaya, the mirror-like wisdom is the Sambhogakaya, and the accomplishing wisdom and the discriminating wisdom are the Nirmanakaya. If one is attached to and intensely clings to the five colors of light, then the poisons will revert to their original state, circling in the six causes and wandering in the six realms, taking birth. In general, it is said that one will attain enlightenment after seven or sixteen rebirths in this life. Compared to the beginningless and endless samsara, this is like the time of tomorrow or the day after. It is said that extremely lazy people will attain enlightenment after many lifetimes. May the instructions of the eight sessions be auspicious! Sarva Mangalam (藏文,梵文天城體,梵文羅馬擬音,汉语字面意思) (Sarva Mangalam, सर्व मङ्गलम्, May all be auspicious!).
