To my teacher, H.H. Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche.
Please take heed of me
With an open heart, I plead with you devotedly
Take heed of me
From the expanse of space
From the bliss of emptiness
Come to me
Surround me in your retinue of compassion
Clothe me in your strength
Dispel the darkness of ignorance that obscures my view
Reveal to me the path of liberation
Remove the poisons from my mind
Please take pity on me, glorious teachers
Please forgive me for my mistakes
My eyes are clouded with tears
Suffering pours through my veins
My heart has lost its will
Please heed the cries of your imperfect child
Bless me with your guidance
Bless me with your protection
Grant me refuge
Lift me swiftly into your arms
Let me be contentment within myself
Grant me the realizations of pure body, speech, and mind
Let me learn to alleviate the suffering of others
You who are inseparable to me
Let our minds be as one
No suffering, no illusion, no anger, no ill will
Embodiment of loving kindness
Take heed of me
With devotion I am pleading to you
Please bless me without delay
Please bless me in this very spot
Please bless me in this very moment

“to love is good, too: love being difficult. for one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation”.

riding blessedly on this seemingly endless comet tail (fractal) of sheer magic -, am finally beginning to understand dynamics of compassion..
…and to mine
I had a colleque not long ago who turned out to be a teacher himself and his expansive view on live and his personal situation made him the exceptional rolemodel for liveonline. Since we lost personal contact since he has left our office i realy hope the posts on this blog aren’t a product of liveonline…..
Alex how are you?
Patrul Rinpoche ends all his writings with the phrase: “the words of a mumbling fool, selling the dharma in the market place” And that’s “how I am”: in short: a dream of riches, unending struggle and my head was hunted, so now I’m back in energyland for the time being. A weird experience. Koffie?
