In the ancient Bön text, Yungdrung Longe, it is written: 

“Upon the great expanse of the boundless black space, a precious, luminous surface manifests easily.”  According to this teaching, the primordial ground of the universe is a vast, all-pervading, black space. From that space arise the five lights of the five jewels, out of which evolves the phenomenal world.  

Because that boundless black space is stable and unchanging, and because it exists within all sentient beings, our own inherent stability and power also remains eternally stable and unchanging (undying).

If we recognize and familiarize ourselves with that ultimate power, it will liberate us from negative karma, obstacles, suffering, and so on. Therefore, it is extremely important that we meditate on the boundless black space. 

This teaching specifically explains how to identify this boundless space. First, the color black is extremely precious, pertaining to the very foundation of the universe, the great dark emptiness. This color is the foundation from which all other colors arise and is unique to itself; it cannot be mixed with or changed by anything else. The other colors manifest gradually, like colors of the rainbow, comprising the stages of the formation of our world. 

Furthermore, this teaching reveals to us how our own world comes into existence. It describes how one produces illusional visions of one’s own life on a daily basis. It also explains how our individual experience of identification with external phenomena is still, at its base, united with that primordial, boundless black space. 

Once integrated, this knowledge can lead us to becoming more balanced and peaceful.
