Five Pure Lights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Five Pure Lights are a conceptual mystery in the Dzogchen tradition of Bön and Nyingma and are aspects of non-dual clarity and primordial luminosity of dharmakaya, Kunzhi and/or the Void. It is important to emphasise from the outset that their light-like essence-quality and their associated colours are oft-described according to the five coloured Himalayan Rainbow. This symbolic association of Himalayan concepts and naming conventions is a cultural attribution to that which is unnameable and inconceivable.

The Five Pure Lights are the most sublime essence-quality of the Five Elemental Processes of Space, Air, Water, Fire, Earth and constitute the Rainbow Body of Dzogchen.
