View, Meditation and Conduct

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

The realization that all phenomena of samsara and enlightenment are emptiness inseparable from naked awareness is the view. To release present awareness within the spacious natural state and then to sustain the self-liberation of thoughts without grasping is meditation. All post-meditative activity done harmoniously with the Dharma is the conduct. The complete manifestation of that abiding nature is the result.

I, Vajra Jnana, wrote this in response to the nun Jampa Chodron.

Generate compassion and the mind of awakening

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Incomparable Lama, at your feet I pay homage.

Listen, fortunate one. Now that your spiritual connection has been forged, achieve your eternal goals. Strive on the sole path of all the victorious ones’ heirs:  Generate compassion and the mind of awakening.

The view is the great emptiness of samsara and enlightenment, concluding that your own awareness, the unformulated dharmakaya, is the sovereign view.
Meditation is to settle unconcerned within unfabricated present awareness, unfettered by grasping.
Take as the supreme kind of conduct not to fall under the negative influence of carelessness, but to have your acts accord with the Dharma.

Be diligent in undistracted practice.

I, a crazy, ragged tulku, wrote this spontaneously in response to Norbu Gyatso’s request.

When you have a human body so difficult to achieve

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Alas!  Listen, intelligent woman!

When you have a human body so difficult to achieve,
Do not get involved in many distractions and busy-ness:
Achieve your lasting goals.

In whatever virtue you accomplish, great or small, Three stages-preparation, main practice, and conclusion-must must be complete.
At all times, compassionately accomplish whatever you can to help others.

To recognize samsara and enlightenment as great emptiness
And one’s own unformulated awareness as primordial wisdom:
These are the sovereign view.

To settle in this view evenly within the natural state is meditation.

Not to allow your actions and behavior to slip into carelessness
And to align them with the Dharma is the supreme form of conduct.
Place these instructions in the center of your heart.

I, Vajra Jnana, wrote this in response to Vakapasham’s request.
