16th
Karmapa's Stage
From
Mingyur Rinpoche's In
Love with the World, about
16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje:
”The Karmapa reported that he could maintain his awareness throughout the entire day, and track the dissolutions [of the senses] right up to almost falling asleep. Once he was asleep, he would again recognize his awareness. But there were a few moments each night, just before slipping into sleep, when he lost his recognition of awareness, and he sought help on how to eliminate this interruption.”
