Path reaches Buddhahood.Transient is this world; like phantoms and dreams,Substance it has none. Grasp not the world nor your kin;Cut the strings of lust and hatred; meditate in woods and mountains.If without effort you remain loosely in the natural state, soon Mahamudra you will win and attain the Non-attainment.Cut the root of the tree and the leaves will wither; cut the root of your mind and Samsara falls.The light of any lamp dispels in a moment the darkness of long eons;The strong light of the mind in but a flash will burn the veil of ignorance.Whoever clings to mind sees not the truth of whats beyond the mind.Whoever strives to practice Dharma finds not the truth of Beyond-practice.One should cut cleanly through the root of the mind and stare naked.One should thus break away from all distinctions and remain at ease.One should not give and take but remain natural, for Mahamudra is beyond all acceptance and rejection.Since the consciousness is not born, no one can obstruct it or soil it;Staying in the Unborn realm all appearances will dissolve into the ultimate Dharma.All self-will and pride will vanish into naught.The supreme Understanding transcends all this and that.The supreme Action embraces great resourcefulness without attachment.The supreme Accomplishment is to realize immanence without hope.At first a yogi feels his mind is tumbling like a waterfall;In mid-course, like the Ganges, it flows on slow and gentle;In the end, it is a great vast ocean,Where the lights of Child and Mother merge in one.from: Teachings of the Buddha, Ed.

There is a deep sense of contentment.You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the View will keep you constantly amused,with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time. CommentThe Supreme Doctrine of the wise and glorious KingIn Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Vajrayana on January 2, 2007 at 4:20 pm Patrul Rinpoche 1808-1887The Supreme Doctrine of the wise and glorious Kingby Dza Paltrul Rinpoche, Jigme Chokyi WangpoEnglish Translation by Mike DickmanTo the Spiritual Teacher I bow down.The View is the Allpervasive Vast Expanse, Longchen Rabjam.Meditation is Light Rays of Knowledge and Love, Khyentsei Ozer.Activity is the Child of the Victorious Ones, Gyalwai Nyugu.Thus practisingOne will attain Buddhahood in a single lifetime without the least effort,Or if not A LA LA! what peace of mind!The View is precisely the AllPervading Vast Expanse:Three words strike the essential meaning.First, keep your mind relaxed,Not scattered, not concentrated and without divisive thoughts.Resting in this state of evenminded relaxation,Utter a sudden mindshattering PHAT,Forceful, vigorous and abrupt.E MA HO! How marvellous!...Nothing at all!... Astonishment and wonderment!...In this state of wonderment, allpenetrating mental freedom,An allencompassing mental freedom that is inexpressible,Recognise this awareness, the dimension of absolute reality.Identifying the primacy of
