The [[Reverberation of Sound]], or Drataljur ([[Tibetan]]: {{BigTibetan|སྒྲ་ཐལ་འགྱུར}}, Wylie: [[sgra thal 'gyur]]), is the [[root]] [[tantra]] of the [[Seventeen Tantras]] of the [[Upadesha]]-varga.
+
 +
From an historiographic [[view]] ([[relative truth]]), early [[Nyingma]] [[Dzogchen]] was formatively influenced primarily by the [[Indian]] [[Buddhist]] [[tantras]], but also by [[Wikipedia:Taoism|Taoist]] [[Ch’an]], indigenous [[Tibetan]] [[Bon]], [[Tibetan]] Nestorian [[Christianity]] and [[Kashmiri]] Shivaism ([[Namkhai Norbu]] 1984 and in Reynolds 1989; Dowman 1996)

These [[Seventeen Tantras]] are to be found in the [[Canon]] of the [[Ancient School]], the '[[Nyingma Gyubum]]' ([[Tibetan]]: {{BigTibetan|རྙིང་མ་རྒྱུད་འབུམ}}, Wylie: [[rnying ma rgyud 'bum]]), volumes 9 and 10, folio numbers 143-159 of the edition edited by '[[Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche]]' commonly known as [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] (Thimpu, [[Bhutan]], 1973), reproduced from the {{Wiki|manuscript}} preserved at '[[Tingkye]] Gonpa [[Jang]]' ([[Tibetan]]: {{BigTibetan|གཏིང་སྐྱེས་དགོན་པ་བྱང}}, Wylie: [[gting skyes]] dgon pa byang) [[Monastery]] in [[Tibet]].

Generally in the [[Buddhadharma]], [[sound]] as an [[object]] of {{Wiki|discourse}} and a created '[[phenomena]]' ([[Sanskrit]]: [[dharma]]) is '[[impermanent]]' ([[Sanskrit]]: [[anitya]]) because of being a product, it is '[[conditioned]]' ([[Sanskrit]]: [[samskṛta-dharma]]). [[Philosophical]] '[[views]]' ([[Sanskrit]]: [[drishti]]) or 'conclusions' ([[Sanskrit]]: {{Wiki|siddhanta}}) on the [[nature]] of [[sound]] are very important in all [[Dharmic Traditions]], [[traditions]] of [[Dharma]] and [[dharma]] schools of [[thought]]. The [[nature]] of [[sound]] is of particular importance to the early [[Buddhadharma]] as it was one of the ways [[Shakyamuni]] differentiated his teachings from the prevailing [[views]] of his [[time]] which held the {{Wiki|sounds}} of the [[Vedas]] to be eternally authoritative. As a general rule, [[Buddhist]] systems emphasize that {{Wiki|sounds}} do not of their own accord inherently express their meanings but are arbitrary conventions, socially determined and understood by consensus. Historically, [[Shakyamuni]] was {{Wiki|reactionary}} to the {{Wiki|status}} of the 'revealed authority' ([[Sanskrit]]: apauruṣeya) of the [[Vedas]] the [[ritual]] incantations and {{Wiki|sounds}} of which were held as [[permanent]] and [[eternal]]. In the {{Wiki|Vedic}} system, the [[sound]] and sign of the syllable or [[visible]] [[mantra]] was held to be none-other than what it communicated. This is understood in {{Wiki|Linguistics}} and {{Wiki|Semiotic}} {{Wiki|Theory}} as motivated [[language]] or appropriated [[language]] where the signifier 'appropriated' the [[essence]] or quality of the signified. For example, the [[sound]], sign and signified were all the same in [[essence]]. Early Buddhardharma as a general rule ostensibly rejected such reified '[[essences]]' ([[Sanskrit]]: [[svabhāva]]) as it was such [[views]] that supported the notion of the '[[self]]' ([[Sanskrit]]: [[atman]]) which in turn supported the rigidity of the Varnashrama [[dharma]] {{Wiki|social}} system of [[caste]] that [[Shakyamuni]] challenged (Williams 1980, 1981). But this is not always the case in the [[Buddhadharma]] as the [[sound]] in the title of this [[tantra]] denotes the immutable, [[unconditioned]], uncreated, '[[primordial]] [[sound]]' (nada). It is in this notion that the [[Tantra]] of the [[Vajrayana]] and [[Mantrayana]] and that of [[Sanatana Dharma]] are in accord.

For an entry into this {{Wiki|discourse}} refer [[Three Vajras]]. [[Sound]] is also to be understood as the 'nada', the [[primordial]] [[sound]], the unmade [[sound]], [[sound]] is a {{Wiki|metaphor}} for [[spiritual]] [[energy]], [[sound]] is a {{Wiki|metaphor}} for the vibration of the [[luminosity]] of the [[Five Pure Lights]]. The Lights are constituted by [[thigle]]. [[Light]] here is also a {{Wiki|metaphor}}.

There is an embedded irony in Thal 'gyur and [[Prasanga]] in that the 'consequence' in [[Prasangika]] [[dialectic]], the reductio ad absurdum of [[Madhyamaka]] [[thought]], pointing out an undesired consequence of a proposition or premise, those who made assertions or held such premises were given the [[name]] retrospectively, [[Svatantrika]].

{{Wiki|Western}} {{Wiki|discourse}} has favoured the [[Gelugpa]] [[view]] of this [[debate]], the champion of which is [[Chandrakirti]] who challenged [[Bhavaviveka]]. As a general rule the [[Gelugpa]] favour the [[Prasangika]]. As a general rule the [[Nyingma]] [[view]] does not foreground the [[Prasangika]] over the [[Svatantrika]] as this would be an extreme [[view]], a [[fallacy]] and failing of the [[Gelugpa]] . Indeed, as an {{Wiki|evocation}} of the [[Two Truths]] the {{Wiki|continuum}} of Svatantrika-Prasangika interpenetrate and mutually inform and are both of value in pointing to an '[[inconceivable]]' ([[samye]]) [[truth]].

From the emic {{Wiki|perspective}} of the [[Nyingma]] and the [[lineages]] of oral instruction they venerate and according to the teachings of Namkha'i (1991) rendered into English by [[Vajranatha]] (1996: p. 11), [[Mañjuśrīmitra]] is held to have codified the indivisible Three Series of [[Dzogchen]] into the [[Mind Series]], [[Space]] Series and Instruction Series; whereas Gyatso (1998: p. 300, note 53) makes the salient observation that the earliest textual source of this [[triune]] so far documented is the Drataljur.

In the [[Inner Tantras]] or [[esoteric]] [[yana]] of the [[Nyingma]], the Mahayoga-yana, the Anuyoga-yana and the Atiyoga-yana; the [[buddha-nature]] is generally referred to as [[sugata-garbha]] rather than other renderings that denote other [[Buddhadharma]] schools of [[thought]]. 'Ordinary [[beings]]' is a rendering of '[[sentient beings]]' and does not just denote the [[human]] [[experience]]. '[[Buddha]]' denotes the potential of the {{Wiki|continuum}} of the base and not that of the waxing of the [[path]] and the fullness of the fruit. That said, due to the indivisibility of the [[Two Truths]] it also denotes Buddha-potential as well as Buddha-actuality or Buddha-fruition through the [[disciplines]], [[sadhana]] and [[skillful means]] of the Buddha-path. The continuums of base, [[path]] and fruit are a [[triune]], interpenetrating and indivisible as the [[gankyil]]. '[[Samsara]]' is to be understood more as a quality of the [[mindstream]] and a [[dimension]] of [[experience]] rather than a location. '[[Timeless awareness]]' is a gloss of '[[jnana]]'. 'Basic [[space]] of [[phenomena]]' is a rendering of '[[dharmadhatu]]'. '[[Phenomena]]' is a gloss of '[[dharmas]]'. '{{Wiki|Confusion}}' is a rending of [[avidya]] or [[marigpa]] which is not the absence of [[rigpa]] but its adventitious {{Wiki|obscuration}}.

 +
* {{BigTibetan|[[བྱང་ཆུབ་ཀྱ་སེམས]]}} [[byang-chub kyi sems]] - [[Bodhichitta]], [[enlightened]] [[mind]], the [[Thought]] of [[Enlightenment]]
 +
 
 +
It [[exists]] in [[Dzogchen]] too.
 +
 
 +
In [[Semde]] ([[Sems sde]]) texts, [[Bodhicitta]] is a term that is {{Wiki|synonym}} with [[Dzogchen]] itself or with [[Rigpa]]. In this [[respect]], it has to be taken literally. The [[tibetan]] expression for [[bodhicitta]] is [[Byang chub]] [[sems]], in which byang means [[pure]], chub means perfect and [[sems]] means [[mind]]. In this {{Wiki|perspective}}, this "[[Pure]] and Perfect [[Mind]]" is a little different from the [[relative]] and effective bodhicittas. In the early [[Semde]] texts, this [[Mind]] is considered as the “Quintessence of the [[Primordial Base]]” ([[ye gzhi]] snying po), i.e. the [[primordial state]] of the {{Wiki|individual}}. In other words, what is designated as [[Great Perfection]] is [[nothing]] other than this state, than this [[Pure]] and Perfect [[Mind]]. There are seven « qualities » or specificities associated with this state which is:
 +
 
 +
:1. free of [[subjectivity]],
 +
:2. spontaneously accomplished,
 +
:3. Self-Arisen [[Wisdom]]. without [[action]] or [[effort]],
 +
:5. Great [[Bliss]],
 +
:6. [[non-dual]], and
 +
:7. free from elaborations.
 +
 
 +
This is a standard approach that you can find in [[Semde]] texts in the [[Nyingma]] and [[Bon]] [[traditions]].....
 +
 
 +
In one of the Commentaries to the Gabpa Gukor (which is the [[root]] [[Dzogchen]] text of the whole [[Bönpo]] [[tradition]]), this state is designated as « the [[King]] of [[Awareness]], of our own [[consciousness]], in other words : as the [[Universal]] Base, the [[Pure]] and Perfect [[Mind]] which is Great [[Bliss]], transcends all example liable to illustrate it, stands [[beyond]] any kind of [[suffering]] and appears in a [[manifest]] way instantaneously.
 +
 
 +
[[Pure]] ([[byang]]) and Perfect ([[chub]]) [[Mind]] ([[sems]])......
 +
 
 +
It is “[[pure]]” ([[byang]]) because it does not depend on binding or freedom ; “perfect” ([[chub]]) because it does not know any [[death]] or changes ; and “[[mind]]” ([[sems]]) because it [[knows]] the {{Wiki|real}} [[principle]] of [[non-duality]]. Furthermore, it is [[pure]] because it is without [[birth]] (or production) ; perfect, because it is without [[death]] or [[cessation]] ; and [[mind]], because it is the very [[principle]] that stands [[beyond]] production and [[cessation]].
 +
 
 +
In the Great [[Tantra]] of the [[View]] ([[lTa ba rgyud chen]], one [[Bönpo]] [[Semde]] text), this [[Mind]] has nine aspects:
 +
 
 +
:1. it is [[primordially pure]], free from any stain, similar to a clear sky (mkha'),
 +
:2. it is a luminous Expanse (klong) in which everything is spontaneously perfect,
 +
:3. it is a [[Space]] (dbyings) free from the [[two extremes]],
 +
:4. it embraces everything without partialities,
 +
:5. it transcend all discourses,
 +
:6. it cannot be grasped discursively,
 +
:7. it is immutable and independant of any [[cause]] or circumstance,
 +
:8. it is free from artifices and [[corruptions]],
 +
:9. it is free from acceptations and rejections since the beginning.
 +
 
 +
To {{Wiki|paraphrase}} this text, the state designated as [[bodhicitta]] or [[Pure]] and Perfect [[Mind]] is [[primordially pure]] and spontaneously accomplished. It is [[unconditioned]] and abides as an [[essence]] without [[birth]] or [[cessation]] and free from [[dualism]]. It is directly [[experienced]] in the [[recognition]] of the undifferentiation of [[Emptiness]] and Clarity.
 +
 
 +
To conclude, in another [[Bön]] [[tantra]] of [[Semde]] (the gSas mkhar g.yung [[drung]] ye khyebs lta ba’i rgyud), it is said :
 +
 
 +
:— [[Indestructible]] [[Mind]] whose [[nature]] is originally [[pure]],
 +
:It is without [[birth]], [[cessation]], and cannot be [[mentally]] conceived
 +
:Supreme and [[primordial]] [[Bodhi]] which is free from [[grasping]]
 +
:At the erroneous [[path]] of egotic [[clinging]],
 +
:It abides in the freedom from all elaborated limits (because)
 +
:It is, in its very [[essence]], [[Manifest]] [[Buddhahood]] itself.

From an historiographic view (relative truth), early Nyingma Dzogchen was formatively influenced primarily by the Indian Buddhist tantras, but also by Taoist Ch’an, indigenous Tibetan Bon, Tibetan Nestorian Christianity and Kashmiri Shivaism (Namkhai Norbu 1984 and in Reynolds 1989; Dowman 1996)

The 4 Bardos (bar do bzhi)

1) rang bzhin skye ba'i bar do - The natural bardo of this life
2) 'chi kha gnad gcod kyi bar do - The painful bardo of dying
3) chos nyid 'od gsal gyi bar do - The luminous bardo of dharmata
4) srid pa las kyi bar do - The karmic bardo of becoming

The 6 Bardos - Bar do drug

The 4 Bardos above with the addition of:

5) bsam gtan gyi bar do - The bardo of meditation
6) rmi lam gyi bar do - The bardo of dreaming

It exists in Dzogchen too.

In Semde (Sems sde) texts, Bodhicitta is a term that is synonym with Dzogchen itself or with Rigpa. In this respect, it has to be taken literally. The tibetan expression for bodhicitta is Byang chub sems, in which byang means pure, chub means perfect and sems means mind. In this perspective, this "Pure and Perfect Mind" is a little different from the relative and effective bodhicittas. In the early Semde texts, this Mind is considered as the “Quintessence of the Primordial Base” (ye gzhi snying po), i.e. the primordial state of the individual. In other words, what is designated as Great Perfection is nothing other than this state, than this Pure and Perfect Mind. There are seven « qualities » or specificities associated with this state which is:

1. free of subjectivity,
2. spontaneously accomplished,
3. Self-Arisen Wisdom. without action or effort,
5. Great Bliss,
6. non-dual, and
7. free from elaborations.

This is a standard approach that you can find in Semde texts in the Nyingma and Bon traditions.....

In one of the Commentaries to the Gabpa Gukor (which is the root Dzogchen text of the whole Bönpo tradition), this state is designated as « the King of Awareness, of our own consciousness, in other words : as the Universal Base, the Pure and Perfect Mind which is Great Bliss, transcends all example liable to illustrate it, stands beyond any kind of suffering and appears in a manifest way instantaneously.

Pure (byang) and Perfect (chub) Mind (sems)......

It is “pure” (byang) because it does not depend on binding or freedom ; “perfect” (chub) because it does not know any death or changes ; and “mind” (sems) because it knows the real principle of non-duality. Furthermore, it is pure because it is without birth (or production) ; perfect, because it is without death or cessation ; and mind, because it is the very principle that stands beyond production and cessation.

In the Great Tantra of the View (lTa ba rgyud chen, one Bönpo Semde text), this Mind has nine aspects:

1. it is primordially pure, free from any stain, similar to a clear sky (mkha'),
2. it is a luminous Expanse (klong) in which everything is spontaneously perfect,
3. it is a Space (dbyings) free from the two extremes,
4. it embraces everything without partialities,
5. it transcend all discourses,
6. it cannot be grasped discursively,
7. it is immutable and independant of any cause or circumstance,
8. it is free from artifices and corruptions,
9. it is free from acceptations and rejections since the beginning.

To paraphrase this text, the state designated as bodhicitta or Pure and Perfect Mind is primordially pure and spontaneously accomplished. It is unconditioned and abides as an essence without birth or cessation and free from dualism. It is directly experienced in the recognition of the undifferentiation of Emptiness and Clarity.

To conclude, in another Bön tantra of Semde (the gSas mkhar g.yung drung ye khyebs lta ba’i rgyud), it is said :

— Indestructible Mind whose nature is originally pure,
It is without birth, cessation, and cannot be mentally conceived
Supreme and primordial Bodhi which is free from grasping
At the erroneous path of egotic clinging,
It abides in the freedom from all elaborated limits (because)
It is, in its very essence, Manifest Buddhahood itself.
