just made up of a collection of parts and are not findable as wholes. Even if we are able to see
things like that nonconceptually, nevertheless, without understanding voidness in the sense of
everything dependently arising in terms of mental labeling, we're not going to gain a clear
realization of things existing like an illusion. In order to gain that clear understanding of
things existing like an illusion, it is necessary to see things in terms of dependent arising --
Seeing Everything to Exist Like an Illusion 91
A Commentary on Attitude-Training Like the Rays of the Sun - His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
their arising dependently on merely mental labeling. Only when we see voidness in terms of
dependent arising can we gain the two realizations together: realization of the space-like
voidness of everything and everything being conventionally like an illusion.
In dzogchen meditation [in which there is no differentiation between total absorption on pure
awareness, rigpa, and a subsequent attainment or realization], at the same time as we are
totally absorbed on the total absence of the object to be refuted, the appearances of things
actually do spontaneously arise. But they arise in terms of our understanding of voidness as
being dependent arising. In this way, we see things to exist like an illusion in dzogchen
practice as well.
Conclusion
This concludes Namkapel's discussion of the points found in Chaykawa's Seven-Point
Attitude-Training.
Now come praises to bodhichitta, and to the lineage: praises to Atisha, who combined the
lineages from Maitreya and Manjushri and also the lineage from Shantideva. Then come
praises to the teachings and [in the commentaries to this text] praise to the author, a disciple to
Tsongkhapa called Namkapel.
[Togmey-zangpo's edition ends with the additional verse, "From the awakening of karmic
remainders from having previously trained, my admiration (for this practice) abounded. And
due to that cause, ignoring suffering and insult, I requested the guideline instructions to tame
my self-grasping. Now even if I die, I have no regrets." Pabongka's edition also ends with this
verse, but omits its first line, "From the awakening of karmic remainders from having
previously trained." Namkapel's edition does not contain this verse.]
We have now concluded the transmission of the Attitude-Training Like the Rays of the Sun.
This is something very beneficial to the mind, a text on the methods that will lead us to
become extremely happy. I often feel and tell people that I must be the happiest person in the
world. It is half due to the position of Dalai Lama that I occupy and it is certainly half due to
the attitude-training that I follow, which gives me the happiness and the courage to face all the
difficulties that I bear on my shoulders. The preventive measures of Dharma are measures that
we actually take, that we practice. We would all do well to devote our every effort to this.
