Franklin Merrell-Wolff continues his discourse on the Tri-Kaya by comparing the point of view put forth in The Voice of the Silence with that found in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. He reviews the schematic statement of the after-death opportunities to accept the Clear Light presented in The Tibetan Book of the Dead and submits that this presentation, which urges one to accept the Dharmakaya out of love and compassion for all creatures, appears to be a radical contradiction of the statement in The Voice of the Silence, which urges the aspirant to renounce the Dharmakaya out of love and compassion for all creatures. He then proposes a resolution of this apparent contradiction by suggesting the possibility of attaining a consciousness in which one is Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, and Nirmanakaya at the same time. He continues his analysis of the Tibetan text by calling attention to its use of the terms ‘rig-pa’ and ‘shes-rig’ and by reviewing his own use of the three forms of cognition, namely, perception, conception, and introception. He notes that introceptual cognition would correspond to the conception of rig-pa, and shes-rig, or consciousness of phenomena, would correspond to both perceptual cognition and conceptual cognition. He concludes by offering a clarification of the nature of the Dharmakaya.
