This is the Essence of Practice

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.

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.


Make your Life and Practice One

… taking your own mind as witness, make your life and practice one, and at the time of death, with no thought of anything left undone, do not be ashamed of yourself. This itself is the pith instruction of all practices.

Embodiment of Supreme Knowledge and Love …

Embodiment of supreme knowledge and love
Of all Buddhas of the three times,
Kind Lama, my sole source of refuge,
Jigdral Yeshe Dorje,

You reside inseparably
At the crown of my head,
As an ornament of the cakra of great exaltation.
Always look upon me with compassion.
I pray!

I do not search elsewhere with hope.
These are not mere mouthed words.
From the very bottom of my heart,
Again and again, I pray to you!

Sublime Lama,
Your blessings now enter all beings’ mindstreams, including my own.
Infallible Lama, think of me
That I attain the result, your state,
In this very life.
Think of me, Lama, think of me!

I, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, wrote this, simply not to refuse responding to the earnest requests of the previous awareness-holder’s attendant-disciple name Dampa Dzom.

May there be virtue and excellence!
