Up and down... down and up again... like the waves of the ocean

 

Countless waves

make the ocean.

Its stillness does not

depend on the waves

but on the moon.

Moon beams...

The name given by Tashi Namgyal

to His Extraordinary Commentary on Mahamudra.

One of the most authoritative on the subject.

Yet to a simple mind like mine,

the moon reminds the seat

covering the white lotus on which,

Chenrezig sits ever so loving and peaceful.

White Lotus...

really an amazing commentary

on the Seven Lines to Guru RInpoche.

Lama Jamgon Mipham-la at your feet we prostrate!

Just like dreams,

 like bubbles of light

carried by the wind,

these wonderful teaching are

floating away...

getting more everyday 

out of reach;

even more so,

from being understood.

Stilness rests,

engrossed with clarity,

manifesting countless

ever-changing phenomena!

Oh! fallacious reality,

you are ever so illusory...

"Grasping" sounds like

a nearby sitting frog.
