Guest guest Posted November 19, 2000 Report Share Posted November 19, 2000 Passing this along. Glo Re: Mindfulness I find these verses by Tibetan yogi Rangdrol wonderfully illuminating: "All ordinary people call it `I'. Some non-buddhists call it Self (Atman). Shravakas call it `individual egolessness'. The Mind Only school labels it `mind'. Some call it `transcendent knowledge'. Some label it `buddha nature'. Some call it `the single sphere.' Some give it the name `ground-of all.' Some call it `ordinary mind'. Despite the innumerable names that are tagged on to it, Know that the real meaning is as follows: Let your mind spontaneously relax and rest. When left to itself, ordinary mind is fresh and naked. If observed, it is a vivid clarity without anything to see, A direct awareness, sharp and awake. Possessing no existence, it is empty and pure, A clear openness of non-dual luminosity and emptiness. This awareness itself, unchanged by circumstances and unspoiled by fixation Is vividly clear and keenly awake. This is the source of all the buddhas of the three times. It is the mind of all the awakened ones. Never be separate from it, you fortunate ones!" Natsok Rangdrol Advaita-Ashram- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
