Dracula: The shadow

On the screen of the mind
perception takes place,
creating a virtual reality,
a mere image made out
of hopes, fears and
opinions.

Knowing this,
do not cling
to non-existent
entities:
just use them
as skillful means.

Do not let the fangs
of your self-image
suck the true blood
of the mind:

RIGPA

Garuda: Rigpa

Given spontaneous presence,
timelessly ensured and free
of hope and fear,
if you strive to achieve again and again,
you will see that there is nothing to achieve.

Nothing to achieve:
this is the fruition of
omnipresent awareness.

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.

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.

Dorje Chang: Inner Master

They call you Vajradhara,
the holder of the vajra of Rigpa.

You bestow your blessings
upon the worthy practitioners.

Master of masters,
ordinary Mind.

Whoever has seen you,
has seen the nature of mind.

Great Bliss

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.

Non Meditation: AH

Je Phagdru writes:

By perfecting this nonmeditation stage,
the meditator attains naked, unsopported awareness.
This nondiscriminatory awareness is the meditation!

By transcending the duality of meditation and meditator,
external and internal realities
the meditating awareness dissolves itself
into its luminous clarity.

Transcending the intellect,
it is without the duality of
equipoise and postequipoise.
Such is the quintessence of mind.

When the meditator reaches the
highest level of nonmeditation,
he will achieve the transcendental qualities,
and will then carry out his spiritual functions
to their ultimate limit.

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

Four yogas: One-pointedness

SEE the Nature of Mind:
Luminous Emptiness.

If you are of sharp faculties:
PHET

If you have medium capacity:
listen to your master and LOOK.

If you are of the gradual type:
train in shine and laktong.

Once you have seen the essence,
keep that Natural Awareness.

If you get distracted,use MINDFULNESS
to return to Awareness.

After you familiarizate with this state,
duality will vanish.

Then you will enter the second Yoga:
SIMPLICITY.

Unless you find a genuine master,
these are only empty words.

If your motivation is not pure,
SHINE will become an obstacle.

If your VISION is not perfect,
you will never see the essence.

Only ONE THING matters:
SEEING as you LOOK.

RIGPA

Marpa: Rigpa

Doha: Pointing out

There is only one thing that can be pointed out:
the Nature of Mind.

There is only one thing that can point out:
Mind.

Unless you listen to the Master,
there will never be a pointing out.

Mind and Master are one and the same;
Master and Mind are not two.

You and Master are one and the same;
Master and you are not two.

Look at your Master and you will SEE Mind;
Look at Mind and you will SEE the Master.

Don´t fool yourself thinking that you and your Master are two;
there has never been a You separated from Your Master.

When you realize the emptiness of Self,
the arhat comes out.

When you realize the emptiness of Other,
the Siddha shows up.

Don´t think you know;
just KNOW.

Let mind express itself,
and just LOOK.

PHET
