I've been studying karma - the timeless law of cause and effect, and other related topics, like enlightened energies, chakras, and enlightened mind states.
This article in my journal is an attempt to explain three enlightened mind states, in short, simple and easy to understand words. Perhaps too simple, but a good start of explaining, nevertheless.
One will understand this fully, when one reaches enlightenment, I think.
There are three enlightened mind states:
- Truth State (dharmakaya),
- Joy State (sambogakaya),
- Radiance State (nirmanakaya).
When one reaches enlightenment, all of three above states become him or her.
Truth State is about seeing and understanding beings and phenomena as they really are (beings differ from phenomena in that beings have mind, are mind... and phenomena do not have mind; mind states like happiness are considered phenomena too).
Joy State is about finding happiness in mind, no matter what... happines both inner and outer.
Truth is that Clear Mind is in itself inherently joyful and actively compassionate.
Why then people sometimes are evil?
Because of 'stains' that pollute their minds. Stains of bad karma accumulated in this and previous lives that make them suffer.
When people suffer, they often turn evil.
... thankfully bad karma can be purified, and there are initiatory practices that allow this, known well and taught in the far east (kara-tur).
States of Truth and Joy are easy to understand, but Radiance State requires some explaination.
Abstractly speaking, every time we interact with something or someone, energies are sent and received. Thus, radiance is one way of explaining interactions. Giving a hand, talking, spellcasting or helping mother to dress - this all can be abstracted to sending and receiving energies.
Thus, in short, the Radiance State is about actively sending compassionate energies to others, helping them to improve.
