    Heart Advice from Changchub Dorje

    The Heart Advice from the Tibetan meditation master Nyakla Jangchub

    Dorje: A Concise Teaching on Seeing, Deepening, Responding and

    Arriving according to Dzogpa Chenpo Kadak Trekcho.

    KYE HO!
    dear children, listen closely!
    what you call mind isn’t anything at all
    allow your own mind to look at itself.
    past thoughts are no longer here, and
    the future’s not yet here
    and whatever arises now
    is beyond reckoning.
    let all thoughts
    the past, present and future
    settle, right now,
    and in this moment
    see how it is
    if you see
    colors & shapes
    this is a sign
    you’ve wandered
    into the house of delusion.

    if you think “it’s nothing, there’s nothing”


    you’re trapped
    in the numb empty state
    and the richness of your own nature
    will not emerge.

    you know,
    you can investigate
    meditate for a hundred years
    and not be
    moving towards freedom
    great natural perfection
    is present
    awareness right now

    no thoughts & conditions


    clear & radiant, like the sky
    this never changes
    it is dharmakaya, the primordial
    clear & radiant awareness
    is unceasing in its splendor
    it is sambhogakaya, the rapturous
    the arising of all possible things,
    an ever-present vibration
    it is nirmanakaya, the magical
    whatever

    whenever something
    happens
    don’t do
    anything
    with it
    let it
    settle by itself
    thoughts are fuel
    flaring up &
    toxic

    let them come


    and go
    they will
    dissolve into space
    coming
    going
    no difference

    when they come


    look directly
    how they come
    when they go
    look directly
    how they go
    it is
    exactly
    the same, no
    favorites no
    choosing
    eating
    sitting
    walking
    standing
    sleeping
    talking,
    whatever
    you do,
    when
    you do it
    look directly
    how you are
    this is how
    ordinary beings
    become buddhas

    nothing is more direct


    than this
    more profound
    than this
    teaching
    & for those who rely
    on this
    teaching
    causes & conditions are gone

    this is the space


    just this
    directly know
    every experience
    is magical
    the wisdom eye
    is now open
    clairvoyance
    now here
    your body is no longer solid
    you can travel unrestrained
    death time comes &
    your material and vital forces break down
    and your elemental energies transmute
    into the blessings
    of rainbow remains
    never changing
    it’s now dissolved
    back into
    the primal state
    awareness settles back
    into space
    Dharmakaya, the primoridal
    and it activates
    all tangible dimensions
    releasing enlightened activities
    bringing benefit
    to all who live
    wide as space itself
    this is how it is.
    now bountiful benefits
    will flow
    BE HAPPY! GEY-O!
