Liberation Through Hearing in the Intermediate State: DAY 5
On this day, if the deceased, through the power of
anger or obscuring karma, has fled the glorious light, or has been
overcome by illusions, the reading for this day is: "O nobly-born,
listen carefully. On this day, the pure form of water will shine as a
white light. At that time, from the deep blue Eastern Realm of
pre-eminent happiness, the Bhagavān Akshobhya in the form of
Vajra-Sattva, blue in colour, holding in his hand a five-pronged dorje,
seated upon an elephant-throne, and embraced by the Mother Māmakī, will
appear to you, attended by the Bodhisattvas Kshitigarbha and Maitreya,
with the female Bodhisattvas, Lasema and Pushpema. These six Bodhic
deities will appear to you. The aggregate of your principle of
consciousness, being in it's pure form -- which is the mirror-like
Wisdom -- will shine as a bright, radiant white light with such dazzling
brilliance and transparency that you will scarcely be able to look at
it. And a dull, smoke-coloured light from Hell will shine alongside the
light of the Mirror-like Wisdom. Through the power of anger, you will
beget fear and be startled by the dazzling white light, and will want to
flee from it; you will be attracted to the dull, smoke-coloured light
from Hell. Act then so that thou wilt not fear that bright, dazzling,
transparent white light. Know it to be Wisdom. Put thy humble and
earnest faith in it. Be not fond of the dull, smoke-coloured light from
Hell. That is the path which opens to receive you because of the power
of accumulated evil karma from violent anger. If you are attracted by
it, you will fall into the Hell-Worlds; and have to endure unbearable
misery, from which there is not certain time of getting out Concentrate
on the dazzling bright white light and meditate on the the Bhagavān
Vajra-Sattva.
