Blossoms of the Dakini.
“Aspiring to the levels of realisation and liberation
Means deviating from bodhi;
Aspiring to obtain happiness
Is the great suffering;
Aspiring to attain the state beyond thought
Is another thought.
If you understand this,
Seek no further.”
(Princess Gomadevi)
————–
I neither believe
Nor disbelieve
The thoughts that arise in me.
They are a mellifluous river,
A breeze in a high place;
Sounds and sensations
That arise and disperse,
Flowers that open and fade,
Stars revealed and obscured by cloud.
I move, the road stays still.
I stay still, the road moves on.
Following the paths of my ancestors
I return to their dwelling place.
Following my own path
I become lost in dream.
Staying still,
I listen to the forest;
Sun and moon dance before me.
The road disappears,
The need disappears.
One feather, one petal
Comes to rest.
Movement dissolves.
Resonance.
