Bodhi Issue 3, Winter 1998 (BODHI ARCHIVE)


A Reminder To Myself
Sunday, August 23, 1998 

- - - - - - -
 by The Dzogchen Ponlop, Rinpoche
 

      Child of awareness
      Is exhausted
      Journey of mind is infinite
      If only I could have accumulated the mileage from this journey
            in samsaric realms
      I would have two free tickets to nirvana by now.

      This continuity of thoughts
      If only I could be mindful
      All the vivid experiences of kleshas
      I would have gone home to my primordial rigpa by now.

      Lucid beauty of six objects
      So naked
      Makes them utterly honest
      If only I could just be present
      I would have seen the buddha realm by now.

      Through the angel hair crown
      Unique in rugged power
      Genuinely shines in the hearts of samsara.

      Hail, hail Karmapa!
