Externally, this age of conflict’s chaos erupts;
Internal,y, exhaustion engulfs body and mind;
Secretly, vivid thought flood the conscious mind.
The practitioner who transcend these three
keeps a happy mind and is oh, so joyful.

Dudjom Rinpoche’s Heart Advice

. . . These are the heart jewels of all Buddhists: Intense renunciation, faith, and devotion diligent in practicing the sacred dharma without laziness or procrastination and guarding the tantric commitments as you do your eyes.
Always cultivate compassion and the mind of awakening for sentient beings who were our mothers, and do what you can to help them: This is the training for heirs of the Victorious Ones.
Realization that all phenomena of samsara and enlightenment are empty and recognition of one’s own awareness as dharmakaya constitutes the sovereign view.
To settle in this unfabricated present awareness’s own ground
without distraction, grasping, or thought is meditation.
Not to be careless in body, speech, and mind and to align your behavior with the dharma are the practical instructions for perfect conduct. . . .

The common practices are the four thoughts that turn the mind away from samsara. The uncommon practices are taking refuge, generating bodhicitta, purifying obscurations, and gathering the accumulations of merit and wisdom. Exert yourself according to each of their commentaries until experiences arise. Especially, embrace guru yoga as the vital essence of practice, and practice diligently. If you do not, your meditation will grow slowly, and even if it grows a little, obstacles will arise and genuine realization will not manifest in your mind stream. Therefore, forcefully pray with uncontrived devotion. After some time the realization of wisdom mind will be transmitted to your mind stream, and an extraordinary realization that cannot be expressed by words will definitely arise from within yourself.
