If,
at the moment of death, we have already a stable realization of the nature of
mind, in one instant we can purify all our karma. And if we continue that stable
recognition, we will actually be able to end our karma altogether, by entering
the expanse of the primordial purity of the nature of mind, and attaining
liberation.
Padmasambhava
explained this: "This power to attain stability by just recognizing the
nature of mind is like a torch which in one instant can clear away the darkness
of aeons. So
if we can recognize the nature of mind in the bardo in the same way as we can
now when it is introduced by the master, there is not the slightest doubt that
we will attain enlightenment. This is why, from this very moment on, we must
become familiar with the nature of mind through
practice."
