The preachings of a preacher Are not the teaching of the teacher. At best an interpretation. Worst, misrepresentation. Relying on another to imply, Reliant on how to apply. Follow its course, Find purity of source.
Gnosis
Vascellum
To hear but not listen, The pot upside down In which no water can be found. To listen but not retain, The pot with holes that soon drains And contains little of what rains. To retain but then taint, The pot that is soiled With contents spoiled.
Somnambulist
Like turbulence on surface of river, Thoughts arise then subside. Over bed river flows, So mindstream goes. As river is not individual drops, nor accretion, Mind not thoughts, nor stream of sensations, Mere conceptualizations of dreamer’s creation.
Entropic
Mid-candle flame
can no more interchange
with initial frame
of when first lit,
tip of yet unlit wick.
Flame as it is,
its current existence,
is conditioned
from burning thence.
As flame that exists
is consequence of
what was consumed
fore hence,
So I,
all since.
Quintessential
Circle complete ends
Where it begins.
Any coordinate plane
With curvature same,
Radius reciprocal.
Measure of perimeter
To bisecting line though center,
Irrational, transcendental.
Quintessential measurement
Of rational transcendental,
Devoid judgement,
Present in contemplation,
Compassion in perpetuation.
Soñar Boriken
Jibaro lo soy, desde ayer hasta hoy. En brazos abrazados, canciones de alegría yo cantaria, de los reflejos del mañana en las alas de una paloma. Olvidando lo olvidado, palabras en el viento engendrado. Todavía cantando, porque todavía lo soy.
Māyā
Illusory singular irregularity Of certainty’s regular singularity Bound by Unknowable perpetual Boundless range, Understood as Abstraction of conceptual Changeless change Unattached Afflictions Unattached Affections Unattached Reflections At vertex of angle of incidence Thoughts reflect coincidence Toward vantage at angle of reflection, From vector of perfection.
Dorje
True view is infinite and vast.
Relax and release mind of thought.
Shatter that which arises,
with “p-hat!”
Transparent and clear at last,
Recognize pure awareness sought,
Without notion such this or that.
Meditate on rays of love and wisdom,
Rest in awareness beyond description.
Abide by flow of primordial glow.
Decide with conviction absolute,
On one thing and one thing only, resolute.
In action as the compassionate one,
Momentary thoughts leave no trace,
Like writing on ocean’s surface.
Arising and liberation become
natural and continuous cure,
Without trace and innately pure.
With confidence in liberation of rising thoughts, succumb.
For view is of three part in communion,
Meditation is wisdom and love in union
Accompanied by action of compassion.
(A reflective render on The Special Teaching of the Wise and Glorious King)

Echos of past celebrations Sound their last reverberations. Mind’s stream forms Child’s dream and From random convergence Random emergence.
Without
Without suffering, no salvation to be won. Without adversity, nothing to overcome. With nothing to surrender difficult to render realization of impermanence, which leads to an awareness of inherit emptiness, The awareness, of self-liberation. If on fire would one not extinguish? What does one do when hungry? When tired and sleepy? When cold and fire burns low? In pain, seek relief, when sick the cure. Before a reaping one must sow.
