  • the nine-fold expanse – A condensation of the teachings contained in the three classes of the great perfection
    • 1) Since the view is free from all forms of projection, the expanse is beyond transition or change
    • 2) Because the meditation consists of resting in the natural state, the expanse is free from the affirmations and negations of conceptual analysis
    • 3) Since the fruition is present in its entirety, the expanse is inherently devoid of hope and fear
    • 4) Because the essence is neither permanent nor nothing at all, the expanse is free from any need to be intellectually proven
    • 5) Since the nature has no logical basis, the expanse is one of unceasing reality
    • 6) Since it is characterized by being devoid of worldly entanglements, the expanse is freed from both appearances and mind
    • 7) As there is no sense of the three times within basic space, the expanse is free from transition and change
    • 8) Since the display can arise as anything whatsoever, the expanse is unobstructed and manifests naturally
    • 9) Because spontaneous equality is without any bias or restriction, the expanse is one of innate freedom and imperturbable rest.
