| | |
| Homage to Mahamudra!
| |
| | |
| The inability to locate the nature of mind and of all phenomena after a complete investigation
| |
| is the foundation of Sunyata.
| |
| | |
| The inseparability of Awareness' creative energy and radiance is the completely pure, spontaneously
| |
| arising, Original Awareness of Mind itself.
| |
| | |
| Other than that, there is not even the slightest existence of apparent phenomena.
| |
| | |
| '''1.''' The appearance of whatever forms and so on that are seen is Original Awareness. The expanse in
| |
| which they appear is Emptiness. The inseparability of these aspects of appearance is co-emergent
| |
| completely pure Original Awareness. Having thus been introduced to these two aspects: don't
| |
| tighten the body, don't suppress the speech, don't bind the mind; abide in the Three Ordinary
| |
| states.
| |
| | |
| '''2.''' Leave everything relaxed, leave everything to settle in its own place, carry on the path everything
| |
| that the mind meets; never be separated from these Three Practices.
| |
| | |
| '''3.''' Don't block appearances, don't reject the Path of Skillful Means, don't abandon compassion.
| |
| Practice these '''Three Enhancements''' on the path.
| |
| | |
| '''4.''' Don’t hope, don't fear, don't cling; these are mistakes. Remember these '''Three Obstructors''' clearly
| |
| in the mind again and again.
| |
| | |
| '''5.''' Between sessions, generate longing for the Guru, meditate on Pure Appearance for everything,
| |
| blend meditation and post-meditation in one; these are the '''Three Samayas''' that you should never be
| |
| separated from.
| |
| | |
| '''6.''' Let everything settle itself spontaneously, meditate in the present moment, without any fixed
| |
| point of reference; these are the '''Three Accomplishments'''.
| |
| | |
| '''7.''' The inseparability of Cause and Result, the inseparability of the Two Truths, the inseparability of
| |
| Samsara and Nirvana, these are the '''Three Inseparables'''. This is the perfect understanding of the
| |
| Original Foundation.
| |
| | |
| Understand the completely pure Original Awareness of Mahamudra in terms of these great threefold
| |
| instructions in seven branches.
| |
| | |
| ''This instruction called the Seven Branches arose from the glorious great ones Lord Maitripa, Tipupa,and Vajrakirti
| |
| [Ras chung rdo rje grags pa 1085-1161]. It was written down by Kachöpa [Zhva dmar II mkha' spyod pa dri med
| |
| dpal ye shes 1350-1405]. Mangalam Bhavantu!''
