@gyurme.yeshe8: “Here, in the Vajrayana, we transform and cut through the self-grasping through a forceful means and that is the essence of Chod. it means to cut through or sever. So you realize that I am not this body, there is no I. If you train in it now, then later when you die, the mind transforms. That is really the whole purpose of the meaning of Chod, in essence it is to cut through this false concept, this false belief of there being a self. The result of that is Buddhahood. What is Buddhahood? It is when you look at the nature of your mind and realize the nature of mind and realize that there is no duality between self and other. Self and other are inseparable. When one realizes that, then the mind is experienced as vast like space. You might be familiar with the teachings on Mahamudra doctrine and so forth, the mind becomes vast like space when there is no more grasping at self. In that moment, when the mind abides like space, one then naturally understands the true nature of one’s mind.” -8th Garchen Rinpoche
