Padmasambhava Visualization?

[Tenma]

How does one visualize a universally enormous Padmamsabhava inside a tiny palace the size of a sesame seed? I can visualize a tiny Padmasmabhava in a huge palace, but not vice versa. Could someone please help in this visualization?

Same way you visualize s universe in an atom

Javier is right -- the poin tis to transcend habitual limits of spatial relationships. In the end, though, like all of real vajrayana, i thas to be understood through practice rather than by philosophical or rational means.

Don't worry about him being "universally enormous."

I remember being hung up at times about certain tiny visualizations, and my problems ended being just conceptual. Actually doing the visualizations solved any problems and answered any questions.

DJKR often talks about this point using the "Hindu" example of Ganesh's mount being a mouse, see e.g.

From a sutra:

• Whoever imagines the Buddha,
  The Muni will be there in front of them.

How big is a visualisation anyway?

try to reflect like a mirror:
in a small mirror you can see a whole landscape -
the landscape doesn't become smaller.
