Dudjom Rinpoche on Guru Yoga and the Essence of Practice

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Pray to your Lama and, while praying, blend your mind inseparably with your Lama’s wisdom mind. Having merged inseparably, settle in the state of naturalness, the nature of mind.

This is the essence of practice:
To be settled in the state of naturalness, this fresh knowing, uncontrived and unaltered, is luminous naked awareness. When thoughts arise within that nature, recognize them on arising, and relax within that recognition. Their arising and liberation occur simultaneously, like a drawing on the water’s surface.

When thoughts do not arise, that is non-meditation free from thoughts. Emptiness beyond meditator and object of meditation is called ultimate wisdom, present from the beginning. Give up hope and fear, hold to the natural state of awareness.

Thoughts are delusion. Stop following after them. Hope and fear are obstacles, don’t go to greet them. If you can rest within the nature that is beyond intellect and activity, you will definitely discover the dharmakaya in your own heart.

Blessings of Guru Yoga

A Commentary of the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

“Your faith magnetizes the blessings of Guru Rinpoche’s pure wisdom and compassion toward you. It is the opening and softening of the heart. Without faith, your heart can be closed and hard like stone. If your mind is open and devotional, you can receive the Guru’s blessings like rain falling onto the soft ground. Rain never chooses where it will fall, yet wherever it touches receptive ground, it is absorbed. However, not even one drop will penetrate stone. Everything grows from the earth but nothing grows from rock. The same is true of our mind. Qualities grow from a mind that is soft like the earth, but will never grow from a mind that is hard and impenetrable like stone. With devotion, Guru Rinpoche’s blessings will dissolve directly into your heart, like the rain into the earth. All qualities of wisdom will grow from this mixing of the Guru’s mind with your own mind.

The Guru is no other than your own pure wisdom aspect of mind which is awakened through devotion. When your wisdom mind is awakened, all phenomena is recognized as the display of your own awareness. Recalling Guru Rinpoche’s presence can open up your heart revealing your true nature and Guru Rinpoche’s as being the same. The only difference is the he has completely manifested enlightened qualities while ours are yet manifested.”
~ A Commentary of the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
