Like a hollow bamboo

rest at ease with your body.

This is one of Tilopa's special

methods. Every Master has his own

special method through which he has attained, and through which he would

like to help others. This is

 

Tilopa's specialty:

 

LIKE A HOLLOW BAMBOO REST AT EASE WITH

YOUR BODY.

 

A bamboo, inside completely hollow...

When you rest, you just feel that you

are like a bamboo: inside completely

hollow and empty. And in fact this is

the case: your body is just like a

bamboo, and inside it is hollow. Your

skin, your bones, your blood, all

are part of the bamboo, and inside

there is space, hollowness.

 

When you are sitting with a completely

silent mouth, inactive, tongue

touching the roof and silent, not

quivering with thoughts, mind watching

passively, not waiting for anything

in particular, feel like a hollow

bamboo -- and suddenly infinite energy

starts pouring within you, you are

filled with the unknown, with the

mysterious, with the divine. A hollow

bamboo becomes a flute and the divine

starts playing it. Once you are empty

then there is no barrier for the

divine to enter in you.

 

Try this; this is one of the most

beautiful meditations, the meditation

of becoming a hollow bamboo. You need

not do anything else. You simply

become this -- and all else happens.

Suddenly you feel something is

descending in your hollowness. You

are like a womb and a new life is

entering in you, a seed is falling.

And a moment comes when the bamboo

completely disappears.
