B1) What is the difference between a light body and a rainbow body?

B2) What does "recognize a thought" mean in the texts, and how is it different from being aware of a thought?

B3) Can you explain the Tibetan word "jigten" (meaning word) and how it relates to the Western idea of crisis?

B4) Why include karma and rebirth in dzogchen teachings when they are unprovable?

B5) Can one maintain a constant view of impermanence and emptiness, or does it require continuous effort?

B6) In meditation, I sometimes see the emptiness of the self, but it passes. Both this insight and ordinary thinking seem equally impermanent and empty. Is there a stable foundation for realization?

B7) How do I participate in the co-emergence of phenomena? Is it by identifying as awareness and engaging through the senses? Who is participating—myself as awareness?
