The Instant Reflection Practice

"INSTANTLY & EFFORTLESSLY REFLECT as the golden form of Avalokiteśvara —
not as an image seen, but as awareness knowing itself as compassion's own body.
The gold is your clarity.
The light is your display.
The lotus is your manifestation.
The jewel is your indestructible essence.
There is no mediator, no visualization — only the Eye of immediate knowingness shining:
This golden form is the Thigle"

This golden form is the total sphere of awareness.
Knowingness shining pure lights,
Shimmering blue sky-like wisdom,
Non-grasping Compassion welcoming pure land."

Instantly reflect: this golden form is the sphere of awareness — knowingness shining as compassion's own body, sky-like wisdom welcoming the pure land without effort.

BRUSHSTROKE: Avalokiteśvara — The Golden Cosmos

A radiant golden Avalokiteśvara stands upright upon a vast cosmic lotus, its petals woven from stars and nebulae, shimmering with the hues of infinite space.
At the lotus’s heart rests the Jewel, a sphere of starlight and galaxies, pulsing with quiet luminosity — the core of indestructible clarity.
The deity’s form is solid gold, metallic and perfect, reflecting the light of creation itself; every contour glows with warm brilliance, sculpted by awareness.
Behind him, the cosmos unfolds — concentric swirls of galaxies, the vast horizon of space spiraling endlessly around his crown like the turning of the Dharma.
The right hand extends downward in varada mudrā, offering recognition; the left holds a Lotus, its center a white thigle of presence.
Form and space interpenetrate: the gold, the stars, the jewel — all one unbroken continuum of light knowing itself.
This is the Eye embodied as compassion, the Jewel-body of awareness standing in the vastness of its own display — the universe as the Lotus of Avalokiteśvara.
