ti-sarana saranagamana saranagamana saranagamana
om vajrasattva hum
ohm ah hum
with full heart
empty hands
thus motivated I and I meditate on emptiness
and liberation of
all sentient beings
may all find refuge on the path of liberation
may all be without hate, greed, illusion
may I be of any means to such end
for as long as space remains
for as long as beings endure
so too may I abide to dispel suffering in samsara
om ah hum vajra guru padma siddhi hung
Bardo Thödol (crux)
Recognize the arising of the intermediate states.
Take sense perception and the nature of the mind as the path.
Practice the divine teaching:
Renounce all attachments and meditate on the spiritual teacher with his consort.
Sovereignty
Long I sought
Self I thought.
But no self found,
To no self bound.
In thought profound,
Realize,
Desire most innate,
Freedom’s
Prosperity,
Pursuit self liberty.
In Meditation…
Actualize refuge practice.
On Being Human
Ask not what to do,
But whom be.
To be or
Not to be.
Grounded in reality,
See the dichotomy,
Mindful dependency.
Ultimately the choice is not what to do but whom be.
Betwixt
What difference between
a dream recalled
Or some memory?
One with more causality?
One more based in reality?
When both, on reflection,
But part same recollection.
Like Candle Light
“Life flickers in the flurries of a thousand ills, more fragile than the bubbles on a stream. In sleep, each breath departs and is again drawn in; How wondrous that we wake up living still!”
– from the “Suhrullekha”
Empty
Empty but me.
Empty but thee.
Empty but empty empty.
Empty me.
Empty thee.
Empty empty empty.
Interlink
From interlinking cells memories…
Projections of recollection…
Restrung into dreamy reveries…
Death attainment of freedoms
Necessary for liberation.
Recognize that
Sought,
Dissolution without illusion.
Most who go
Do not,
And so wander.
Needlessly.
Heedlessly.
Endlessly.
A Thought
Emerging thought
Instantaneously
Dependently
Originating drop,
Of Ocean Inherently.
