Appearances: Climbing

When I started climbing the mountain,
I put a lot of effort into it.

After trekking for a while,
there was just walking.

At the summit,
it was calm and clear.

Without any effort,
nobody went down.

Climber, climbing and mountain,
empty appearances.

HUNG

Dakini: Clear light

Calling you from afar,
you appeared suddenly,
like a rainbow of awareness.

There is no doubt about THIS,
certainty ensues realization,
like thunder follows lightning.

Mixing is my main practice,
disguised under the mask of
a farmer and retailer.

Too many high class personalities,
made mind stuck in pride,
and karma took me down.

Now I learned there is no up or down,
only confused mind
and clear mind.

Bliss

One Taste: Non-duality

Before climbing up,
I thought there was a mountain.

While climbing,
mind and mountain merged.

The one who went down,
is not the same as the one who climbed up.

In fact, there is nobody
climbing or going down.

Pedraforca mountain,
the little son of Kailas.

Amazing but true.

Pointing out: Coemergent thought

Coming out from nowhere,
passing by without a trace,
vanishing into emptiness.

Look directly at the mind
while the wind of thought
is fiercely blowing.

See it´s nature
and the wind turns out
to be a refreshing breeze.

It can take some time
to go beyond time:
Now sip slowly
the true elixir of life.

Now there is no hurry:
thoughts are already fuel
for the blazing clear mind.

Luminous emptiness,
Great Bliss,
Mahamudra.

Rigpa: Wesak

Before the beginning,
you are the only one.

Next, with the time.
I forgot you.

Later on, after suffering a lot,
I heard about you.

With elaborate practice,
I forged an image of you.

Not so long ago,
I recognized your face.

NOW, beyond time,
you keep beeing the only one.

Great Bliss.

Gautama: Brother

Whenever I look,
I see only your face.

Whatever I hear,
it is always your voice.

Whenever I smell,
it is always your perfume.

Whatever I eat,
I find always your taste.

Everything I touch,
I know it is you.

When I look at the mind,
I find only luminous emptiness.

Great Bliss

No distraction: spontaneous presence

I bow down to the guru,
root of all blessings.

Now there is only bliss,
and nobody to cling to it.

Now there is only non-conceptuality,
which is in essence clarity.

It took mind a lot of practice,
to get rid of that old I.

Without I, there is no MINE:
no more hopes and fears.

This can not be one more experience:
there is no experiencer any longer.

I bow down to the Great Seal,
root of samsara and nirvana.

May all sentient beings
discover their real nature.

Great Bliss.

Lada: Biting

Just right here,
just right now.

One taste,
many flavours.

Pure awareness,
empty mind.

Piercing appearances,
unveiling reality.

No more doubts,
only certainty.

Vajrayoguini: Co-emergent Wisdom

Beyond duality,
trampling on samsara and nirvana.

Drinking the nectar of bliss,
cutting the clinging to subject and object.

Ordinary Mind,
free from conceptual constructs.

Vajrayoguini,
mother and sister of all buddhas.

May you grant me all siddhis,
after seeing your real face.

Vajrakilaya: Wrath and destruction

My real enemy is my own ignorance,
which shows up in my old habits.

My only crave for destruction,
is the destruction of wrong patterns.

My past actions created my present conditions,
but ego is not the master any more.

Wrath is powerful and dangerous,
but it is empty of self existence.

Gods and demons are gone:
there is only luminous emptiness.

PHET

Milarepa: Rigpa

Hiding behind the veil of emptiness,
you can see the clarity of awareness.

Piercing the apparent practitioner,
you can find the real chodpa.

Cracking the symbolic words,
the profound meaning shows up.

Tasting the flavour of shamata,
abide in relative peace.

Developing penetrating insight,
appearances will self-liberate.

Then the four will turn into one:
Non-meditation.

Luminous emptiness: Rigpa

Looking at the mirror of consciousness,
I found out the spark of awareness.

Listening to the noise of thinking,
I heard the sound of silence.

Eating all arising appearances,
I tasted the essence of clarity.

Feeling the pleasure of meditation,
I discovered the bliss of emptiness.

Smelling the smoke of distraction,
I dived into the perfume of mindfulness.

Looking for My-Self,
I saw nobody.

Luminous Emptiness

Kalachakra: Simplicity and no-thought

Lungs breathe:
Mind thinks.

There is nothing wrong with breathing:
Thinking is a natural function too.

If you stop breathing, your body dies:
If you stop thinking, intelligence will die.

Breathing properly you will keep a healthy body:
Thinking correctly you will develop a clear mind.

If you see the essence of breath,
breathing becomes self-liberated.

If you see the essence of thought,
thinking becomes self-liberated.

Very Simple:
non-discrimination.

PHET

Ordinary Mind: The Mirror

Look at your mind,
relax your senses;
do not let thoughts distract you.

Look at the looker,
relax your mind;
emptiness.

The mirror is looking at itself,
there is NO SELF;
just luminous emptiness.

Just self-liberated appearances,
moving along the mind;
spontaneous presence.

Non-conceptual wisdom,
playing the game of life;
empty bliss.

And now, break the mirror,
and SEE what is left:
