Celebration - The Highest Dharma
Bliss is the highest of all teachings. Ananda, bliss. The spirit of this dharma is that of celebration. What do you do when you celebrate? You sing and dance to your heart's content! You celebrate, you are happy and you live it and show it. You smile, you are truly happy and content, without doubt, without ego. This is the spirit of the deathless body of light, rainbow body.
We can all understand how important it is to be happy and to celebrate. We enjoy dancing, parties, weddings, birthdays when we just let go and celebrate fully. Great, good, but there is much more to this nature of celebration. Ananda is indeed deep and profound...
...and it necessarily needs to rest on the insight into the empty nature of mind. Our mind needs to be purified or released of all self-based habits and functions before we can properly get a hang of the highest nectar. We need to reach the first stage of full enlightenment, emptiness of all phenomena, before we are fully ready to sing, dance, love and celebrate.
Dear spiritual practitioners and seekers, trust the past masters and their advice. Follow their advice and do your practice. Sit and look into your mind until you release all self-centered habits and patterns, until your mind doesn't give negative surprises anymore, be it day or not. Ask great masters to be without and help you in this first task. After that, after all the sitting and introspection, you can easily understand that the next thing to do is to just celebrate, dance, sing and enjoy the original love of all life and beings.
