Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 - Joyce Short Mahamudra Wednesday, March 14, 2001 9:52 AM [Mahamudra] yet more Tilopa "encore" "Selfish or limited motivationscreate the illusory sense of imprisonmentand scatter seeds of further delusion.Even genuine religious teachingcan generate narrowness of vision.Trust only the approachthat is utterly vast and profound.The noble way of Mahamudranever engages in the dramaof imprisonment and release.The sage of Mahamudrahas absolutely no distractionsbecause no war against distractionshas never been declared.This nobility and gentleness alone,this non violence of thought and action,is the traceless path of all Buddhas.To walk this all-embracing wayis the bliss of Buddhahood.Phenomena on every plane of beingare constantly arising and disappearing.Thus they are ever forever fresh,always new and inexhaustible.Like dreams without solid substance,they can never become rigid or binding.The universe exists in a deep, elusive waythat can never be grasped or frozen.Why feel obsessive desire or hatred for it,thereby creating illusory bonds?Renounce arbitrary, habitual views.Go forth courageously to meditatein the real mountain wilderness,the wide open Mahamudra.Transcend boundaries of kinshipby embracing all living beingsas one family of consciousness.Remain without any compulsionin the landscape of natural freedom:spontaneous, generous, joyful.When you receive the crown of Mahamudra,all sense of rank or attainmentwill quietly disappear.Cut the root of the vine that chokes the tree,and its clinging tendrils wither away entirely.Sever the conventionally grasping mind,and all bondage and desperation dissolve.The illumination from an oil lamplights the room instantly,even if it has been dark for eons.Mind is boundless radiance.How can even the slightest darkness remainin the room of daily perception?But one who clings to mental processescannot awaken to the radiance of Mind.Strenuously seeking truthby investigation and concentration,one will never appreciatethe unthinkable simplicity and blissthat abide at the core.To uncover this fertile ground,cut through the roots of complexitywith the sharp gaze of naked awareness,remaining entirely at peace,transparent and content."To be continued.To from this group, send an email to:Mahamudra-Your use of is subject to the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
