26. Maturation
Vairochana’s Vantagepoint
Spiritual Maturity consists in the great buildup of divine virtues that arise in Wisdom’s Ascension from the Mountain of Primordial Perfection: Vairochana’s Vantagepoint from Amoghasiddhi’s Primordial Mount. The Noble One studiously assimilates the tutelage of ancient sages and pays ongoing respect and reverence for the Holy Dharma of old.
Never deviate from the path of the worthy Shining Ones and continue to fervently uphold the banner of Right Righteousness in the face of all trials and tribulations.
The hexagram also represents the nurturing of the spiritual embryo* thus incubating the unfathomable stature of the Unborn One. In cultivating this Supreme Spiritual Maturation one will gain sure entry into Celestial Mansions untold.
* In Unborn Mind Zen this represents Amoghasiddhi’s All-Accomplishing Wisdom generating bodhicitta through sambodhi and arising throughout the chakras as the bodhichild awakens and begins to see with Vairochana’s Noble Wisdom-Eye of the Tathagatas; this is known as the Divine formation of the Holy Matrix.
