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.
