Part 2 - How luminosity dwells within space and wisdom without adding or taking away
At that time, dharmakaya, free from the extremes of complexity, manifests as the great peace, in completely unborn luminosity:
Completely unborn, within the essence of luminosity,
This is like the new moon, subsided into space.
The lotus of subtle wisdom remains in the space of the sky.
With no conceptualization, peace has been obtained,
This is the pure ultimate. When we reach the luminous state of peace, the space of the dhatu, within that sky is the new moon of wisdom, the inner luminosity of omniscience. This is the support, or basis of arising, of the buddha qualities.
At this point, aside from that, the phenomena or appearances of sambhogakaya do not exist externally from the viewpoint of those who are to be tamed. This is the time of solitary dharmakaya, transcending the defilements of the four extremes. The new moon is in the sky, but its luminosity is invisible to others. So the profound and subtle wisdom of dharmakaya is gathered into space. The Appearance of Wisdom (ye shes snang ba) says:
Gathered into space, though it is not seen,
It is not non-existent, because of being subtle.The former play of dharmas, like the invisible moon,
Is peaceful and profound, as well as very subtle.
Within the extensive explanation of the divisions are the changeless vajrakaya the kaya of manifest enlightenment, the peaceful dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, and the kaya of emanation of everything whatever.
