STUDENT: (...) remains there any home? The home is he?
Trungpa: It is very old. You see, something that continues, we need someone constantly watching the continuity which unfolds. If I continue, it must as an observer who watches me that this continues. Because all this is based on a mirage. No watchman, no mirage. If a spotter is present to take note of the existence of a mirage, there will be a mirage. After awakening, there is more of a watcher, and therefore no longer be watched.
STUDENT: subsist there be one after that?
Trungpa: Such a being is nothing other than being aware of oneself, it verifies that you are there. However, you stop trying to watch if you're there or not. It is not whether this being exists or not. If you consider this to be non-existent , then you must pay attention to it, make sure its final absence, which is its continuation anyway.
STUDENT: So in other words, there is a death or an identity after the death of me, and the death of the ego is the death of the confusion which it maintains about him?
Trungpa: Well, since the watcher dissolved Se concentrations, can not answer yes or no. This is beyond comment.
STUDENT: (...) How Buddhism perceive the devil or one who does magic black? Much of our cultural history, which continues today, has something to do with black magic.
Trungpa: (...) This is the result of any condition attached to the enrichment of the ego or the effort of self-perpetuating, so egocentric or innocent, in all kindness - the culmination of everything which aims to enrich the ego - is the destruction, total chaos, confusion perpetual. (...). In view of those who practice black magic: we do not kill me to someone, you kill its not me.
STUDENT: How is this possible?
Trungpa: We do it simply out of conviction, because we believe. In other words, we can not destroy it completely, but we place a trail of ink, and we do not look twice, and it is optimistic - we hope to have eliminated. All this is connected to spiritual materialism, the subject of which I speak so often. spiritual materialism is a step towards black magic, if I may say so. (...) The whole question is to what extent the report to me becomes a central theme of spiritual practice. If it is, it has good and bad, what is and what is not - This is called duality in Buddhist terms. This whole story about who you are is related simply to the watchman.
