base dissolves your impulsions and delusions:Do not be conceited or calculating but rest in the unborn essenceAnd let all conceptions of yourself and the universe melt away.The highest vision opens every gate;The highest meditation plumbs the infinite depths;The highest activity is ungoverned yet decisive;And the highest goal is ordinary being devoid of hope and fear.At first your karma is like a river falling through a gorge;In mid-course it flows like a gently meandering River Ganga;And finally, as a river becomes one with the ocean,It ends in consummation like the meeting of mother and son.If the mind is dull and you are unable to practice these instructions,Retaining essential breath and expelling the sap of awareness,Practising fixed gazes methods of focussing the mind,Discipline yourself until the state of total awareness abides.When serving a karmamudra, the pure awareness of bliss and emptiness will arise:Composed in a blessed union of insight and means,Slowly send down, retain and draw back up the bodhichitta,And conducting it to the source, saturate the entire body.But only if lust and attachment are absent will that awareness arise.Then gaining long-life and eternal youth, waxing like the moon,Radiant and clear, with the strength of a lion,You will quickly gain mundane power and suprem enlightenment.May this pith instruction in MahamudraRemain in the hearts of fortunate beings.ColophonTilopas Mahamudra Instruction to Naropa in twenty Eight Verses was transmitted by the Great Guru and Mahasiddha Tilopa to the Kashmiri Pandit, Sage and Siddha, Naropa, near the banks of the River Ganga upon the completion of his Twelve Austerities. Naropa transmitted the teaching in Sanskrit in the form of twenty eight verses to the great Tibetan translator Mar pa Chos kyi blos gros, who made a free translation of it at his village of Pulahari on the Tibet Bhutan border.This text is contained in the collection of Mahamudra instruction called the Do ha mdzod brgyad ces bya ba Phyag rgya chen poi man ngag gsal bar ston pai gzhung, which is printed at the Gyalwa Karmapas monastery at Rumtek, Sikkim. The Tibetan title is Phyag rgya chen poi man ngag, or Phyag rgya chen po rdo rjei tsig rkang nyi shu rtsa brgyad pa.///This translation into English has been done by Kunzang Tenzin in 1977, after transmission of the oral teaching by Khamtrul Rinpoche in Tashi Jong, Kangra Valley, India.Fonte: http://www.kagyu-asia.com CommentThe Buddha WithinIn Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Vajrayana on June 22, 2008 at 11:48 pm Milarepa, 11th. century cave yogiBehold and search your unborn mind;Seek not for satisfaction in samsara.I attain all my knowledge through observing the mind within Thus all my thoughts become the teachings of Dharma,And apparent phenomena are all the books one needs.Seeing the innate face of the self-mind is supreme,How can common meditation match it? He who realizes the nature of his own mind knowsThat the mind itself is Wisdom-Awareness,And no longer makes the mistake of searching for Buddha from other sources.In fact, Buddha cannot be found by searching,So contemplate your own mind.This is the highest teaching one can practice;This very mind is the Tathagatagarbha, Buddha nature, the womb of the Buddhas.fonte: http://www.dharmadata.org/ CommentUma breve
