没有证悟，怎样认识光明呢？

When can we experience this state of clarity? There are three different times when we can enter this state of clarity:

什么时候才能进入这种光明的状态当中呢？有三个时间点：

The first is when we have gained realization of the nature of mind.

第一， 当我们证悟、明心见性的时候，可以感受到这个光明。

The second is during the time of death. No one understands death. Many people are unwilling to talk about, listen to, let alone confront death. Actually, death is not the conclusion of life, just one of the processes of cyclic existence. The beginning point of this cycle is clarity. From clarity, all kinds of thought are produced; at the end when we die, we return to clarity. Again from this clarity or state of clear light, our next life is produced. Hence, the origin of all of our consciousness is clarity.

第二，当我们死亡的时候，也可以进入这样的境界。所有的人都不了解死亡。死亡这两个字，很多人都不愿意讲，不愿意听，更不愿意面对。其实死亡根本不是生命的结束，而是周期性的生命过程之一。这个周期的出发点，就是光明。从光明当中，产生了我们各种各样的念头。最后我们死亡的时候，又会进入到这个光明当中。在这个光明当中，又将产生下一世。所以，我们所有意识的出发点，都是光明。

The third is during the evening when we enter into deep sleep. However, without training, we can never know the various transitions for going into deep sleep, dream state, and back to reality after waking up. This training can only be found in Tibetan Buddhism in a special tantric practice.

第三，在每天晚上进入深度睡眠的时候，我们又有机会进入到光明当中。但没有经过训练的人根本不会知道深度睡眠、做梦与醒觉之后回到现实的种种切换点。只有在藏传佛教的密法里面，才有一种特殊的训练方法。

In The Tibetan Book of the Dead, an introduction is given on how we can enter the state of clarity during these three times.

在《西藏度亡经》这本书中，就介绍过在深度睡眠、死亡与证悟这三个时候，如何接触光明的方法。

你要的一切，都在光明中

一定要回归光明

无有智慧，善恶皆为业
