Note

This important Tantra of the sems sde class of Rdzogs chen frequently characterizes Rdzogs chen (of which Kun byed rgyal po is a personification) as the "way involving no travelling". This following passage comes from chapter fifty-one entitled "rdzogs pa chen po'i lam la bgrod du med pa".

by David Higgins

Passage

de dag thams cad ni bgrod cing 'byung ba la ltos pa yin la/ 'dir de lta bu gang yang mi sgrub ste/ bgrod du med pa nyid lam gyi mchog yin pas/ de'i phyir na theg pa thams cad kyi yang rtse zhes bya'o/

Note

In distinguishing Rdzogs chen as the summit of all ways, Rong zom first discusses [167.6] the ways to freedom on different Buddhist paths. He discusses the Śrāvakas, who state that freedom arises via emancipation from causes and conditions and samādhi through which they abide in a state involving an objective reference. Then he discussed the Pratyekabuddhas, who state that freedom arises via emancipation from path of words and samādhi through which they abide in the way of ineffable reality. After that he discusses the Mahāyāna path which teaches that freedom arises via primordial awareness which is emancipated from divisive notions born of subjective grasping and a samādhi through which they engage in the utterly diaphanous dimension of meaningfulness). Finally, he discusses the Mantra(yāna) path which teaches that freedom and samādhi are indivisible and they experience the three diamond like aspects. For a full entry, see under the term lam.
