… I go for refuge

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

HH Dudjom Rinpoche

“I go for refuge and take delight in the consummate expanse of your wisdom mind.
All sacred, supreme objects of refuge, please pay heed!
Through cultivating and training in the awakened mind,
May the glorious potential to empty the depths of samsara be achieved!

I completely confess all accumulated faults and obscurations of the body, speech and mind
And pray that all victorious ones do not enter nirvana but remain
The root of all virtue is dedicated to all beings
Together may we attain fully enlightened Buddhahood.”

~ Dudjom Lingpa / H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche

The Essence of the Path

~ DudjomTersarNgondro
 HH Dudjom Rinpoche

Those with faith will go for refuge;
Those who have compassion will have bodhichitta;
Those with wisdom will gain realization;
Those who have devotion harvest blessings.

The Supreme View

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

“To cultivate ultimate bodhichitta, you must realize that the ultimate, abiding nature of reality is not something born from causes and circumstances. It is perfectly pure and free from mental fabrications such as the divisions into samsara and nirvana, virtuous and non-virtuous, good and bad, and so forth.

When you have ascertained the meaning of the perfection of wisdom (prajnaparamita), which is the void-ness of both the conventional “I” and all phenomena, there is no longer the two extremes of samsara and nirvana. Such divisions are the deceptive appearances of the relative level of truth. From the point of view of the ultimate level, then, there is only voidness. The unity of these two levels is the supreme view.”
