Alla,
This is a common problem on Internet.I also don't know wheter Alla is a
male or a female name. My name is a male one (and I am a man, what makes
this name very appropriate).
Please answer me this, otherwise we will end up very confused..
João is the portughese name of St. John, and is very popular in Brazil
and Portugal.
See you,

Rigpa
(a quote from "the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche)
"- When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen, in
that gap, in between, isn't there a consciousness of the present moment; fresh,
virgin, unaltered by even a hair's breadth of concept, a luminous, naked
awareness?
Well, that is what Rigpa is!
- Yet it doesn't stay in that state forever, because another thought suddenly
arises, doesn't it?
This is the self-radiance of that Rigpa.
- However, if you do not recognize this thought for what it really is, the very
instant it arises, then it will turn into just another ordinary thought, as
before. This is called the "chain of delusion," and is the root of samsara.
- If you are able to recognize the true nature of the thought as soon as it
arises, and leave it alone without any follow-up, then whatever thoughts that
arise all automatically dissolve back into the vast expanse of Rigpa and are
liberated."
(quoted from page 160)
I wish you a very happy new year.
