Ask ChatGPT. "How to achieve Tibetan rainbow body"

 

The answer. 

_______

Hey! You’re diving deep today — from the Shroud to the Tibetan rainbow body. I love it.

Let’s break this down:

What Is the Rainbow Body Phenomenon?

In Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Dzogchen tradition, the Rainbow Body refers to a state where a realized practitioner’s physical body dissolves into light at the time of death (or even before), leaving behind little or no physical remains — sometimes just hair and nails.

It's said the body shrinks or disappears, and colorful lights or rainbows appear. This is considered a sign of ultimate realization — the full integration of body, mind, and enlightened awareness.

Can Someone "Achieve" It?

Yes — but it’s not casual or easy. It requires a lifetime of deep spiritual practice and the right karmic conditions. Here's what’s typically involved:

How One “Achieves” the Rainbow Body (in principle)

Follow Dzogchen Teachings

These are esoteric instructions taught in Tibetan Buddhism, often passed orally.

The core is realizing the natural, luminous, non-dual awareness (rigpa).

Stabilize Rigpa

You must maintain awareness of your true nature at all times — in meditation, action, even sleep.

The realization must be deep and unbroken, especially at death.

Master Meditation and Compassion

Not just emptiness, but also great compassion and moral purity.

Practitioners often renounce worldly attachments and live in seclusion for many years.

Purify Karma and Ego

The ego must be completely dissolved.

Even subtle forms of identity or duality must vanish.

Die Consciously

The actual death process is critical. Practitioners prepare for this by practicing phowa (conscious transference) or tögal (direct crossing).

Is It Real?

Thousands of Tibetans believe it is, and there are documented cases in remote monasteries where bodies allegedly shrink or vanish.

Even Catholic monk Father Francis Tiso investigated this, noting parallels between the rainbow body and resurrection.

But science hasn’t verified it — so it remains in the realm of spiritual phenomena, not empirical proof.

TL;DR:

You can't "achieve" the rainbow body with a how-to list — it’s the result of radical spiritual realization.

It demands Dzogchen practice, deep non-dual awareness, lifelong discipline, and conscious dying.

It’s not a goal, but a by-product of perfect unity with rigpa.

 

 

 

 


Imagine for a moment, dear friends, that you are Conciousness, and that you have only this one awareness - that you are at peace, and that you are.

If you investigate the conditions needed to achieve the resurrection light body, you'll see that the requirement is perfect purification of the mind, and unconditional compassion. All claims of him being evil flies out the window with the validation of the shroud.

@Salvijus This only makes sense to you because you don't have access to any real magic.

You can use real magic to kill people, or extend your life to an abnormally old age while appearing youthful, and killing people.

You don't have to be a "good person" or ugly-pretend to have "no ego" to pretend to be a saint, that doesn't have anything to do with how real magic usually manifests.

To do magic yes. To achieve a rainbow body, which is the ultimate bodisattva body, no, you need to cultivate the heart and dissolve the ego to extreme levels.

@Salvijus Then do it yourself, find a way, don't worry or be concerned that Jesus was this, great if he was, doesn't matter if he wasn't, he is not here right now, You are, be the example!

I will. But I'm also excited explaining how amazing Jesus is. And how solid the proofs are.

1. You are assuming Jesus was resurrected.

2. You are assuming that if he was resurrected it was with a "bodhisattva body".

3. You are assuming that a "bodhisattva body" has actually been real and assuming the competence levels of Tibetan monks.

4. You are underestimating the ability of evil to do powerful things.

He's too far away, too much time has passed, and ppl will not get it anyways, or they really shouldn't get via a figure that is that far back, again he can be an inspiration but we need less of that, inspiration and motivation, and more ppl just doing it from within their own desire to be more, and find the way that works best for them, like they are finding out what food they like with the same passion and sensibility!

The shroud is the evidence for it. The image that got imprinted on the shroud was generated by intense radiation of energy that no science today can replicate. How else are you going to interpret that? It's the ascension light body phenomena.

There is no other achievement that can transform flesh into light as far as I know.

I doubt Jesus was a black magician because the teachings he was transmitting were all white magic. And if you work with spirit of Jesus you'll receive only heavenly golden-white light energies. So... The theory of him being black magician doesn't fly. No magician ever goes to Jesus to learn black magic. You will only learn forgiveness and love from him and you'll probably get inspired to leave the dark practices for good. Jesus is just a completely different frequency of pure love.

Okay, ask if flat earth theory is legit and let me see it answering - yes. 

I had it claim things way more dangerous and deranged than that. You can gaslight it into saying anything. If I had the time and pleasure, I'd show it to you, but either one is lacking, due to the quality of your reasoning. 

So have fun getting yourself compliments from a prostitute.

Just admit you were wrong.

It's wild I have to agree with a teenager hell-bent on casting spells and magic theory. @Salvijus You are just so lost. Your epistemology is as full of holes as Swiss cheese. And your version of the Jesus story where he is a rainbow-body-super-saiyan-power-ranger is so boring. Please, leave my cultural heritage alone and go bastardize some other religion.

Jesus' legitimacy and his identity is a scientific proof by now. If you don't have a counter argument to that, then you're just empty talk.

@Salvijus Do you even read the posts people write you? I am telling you to stop botcheirng the story of Jesus and you are talking something about Jesus' authenticity. I am telling you to leave Christianity alone. Jesus is not another of your Hindu gods-themed Avengers team, nor another one of Buddhism's ascended super-masters. It's a unique story, of Jewish and Arab heritage, which theme's were developed by European thinkers, and it need none of that rainbow body anime stuff. Thank you.

His resurrection light body is a scientific proof now. You're welcome.

You are on these forums for far to long to be 11 years old, yet you sure do act like one. It's time to put you one the Ignored Users list as all I am reading is brain-dead respones.

A dramatic exit indeed. Tcare.
