Meditation Practice

In meditation practice, you might experience a muddy, semiconscious, drifting state, like having a hood over your head: a dreamy dullness. This is really nothing more than a kind of blurred and mindless stagnation. How do you get out of this state? Alert yourself, straighten your back, breathe the stale air out of your lungs, and direct your awareness into clear space to freshen your mind. If you remain in this stagnant state you will not evolve, so whenever this setback arises, clear it again and again. It is important to be as watchful as possible, and to stay as vigilant as you can. ~ Dudjom Rinpoche

The One Thing

Although hundreds or thousands of explanations are given,
There is only one thing to be understood –
Know the one thing that liberates everything –
Awareness itself, your true nature.

~ Dudjom Rinpoche

How you will be Liberated

image

All that appears is exalted Bodhisattva Great Compassion’s body;

Resonant sounds are the six-syllable mantra’s’ wisdom speech;

All recollection and thoughts are clear light,
the exalted Bodhisattva’s wisdom mind.

Yet, these are not newly fashioned:

Know that they exist self-manifest.

Sustain this knowledge within the natural state and you will be liberated.

I, Jnana, wrote this in response to a request.
