Mahasiddha Interviews: Robert Andersson - Full Enlightenment Series Pt. 2

The Lion-Faced Guru Podcast - Pragmatic Explorations of Nondual Tantra, Vajrayana & Dzogchen

In this interview, we meet with Robert Andersson from Sweeden, who shares his story of spiritual endeavors and insights!

Robert reveals how he achieved his first awakening insight using the Just One Look Method.

He describes his post-awakening practice, the mingling of the samsaric mind and the original mind - or what in Amrita Mandala is referred to as Bhumi Openings and Bhumi Perfections.

Lastly, we hear about his realization of Dharmadatu Exhaustion,-

when one's recognition of one's primordial mind is completely stable and with no regression.

The interview also includes an interesting discussion on emotions; what is a healthy view of emotion from a dharma perspective and how does one who has reached realization experience emotions? And, he tells the story of how bodhicitta was coming through in his life pre-awakening and how he views bodhicitta now.

Finally, the motivation for the rarest and most sought-after Spiritual Achievement; namely the Light Body/Rainbow Body, the ultimate fruit of the spiritual path.

Thank you so much Robert for your effort, bravery, and generous sharing!

May all beings benefit!
