Calling the Lama from Afar by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche
The primordial ground of one's own awareness is unchanging and unmoving. Whatever arises, as the expression of the dharmakaya, is neither good nor bad. Since awareness of nowness is actually the Buddha The completely free, serene lama is revealed in one's innermost heart.
When this original mind is realized as the very nature of the lama, There is no need for whining, contrived prayers made with grasping and attachment. By letting go in the free natural flow of uncontrived awareness, Not holding whatever arises, the blessings of self-liberation are obtained. Through fabricated practice there is no time to achieve enlightenment. This meditation produced through mental analysis and intellect is a deceiving enemy.
Now, conceptualization falls apart with the abandon of a madman. Let this life be spent in a state of uninhibited naked ease! Whatever one does, joyful; practitioner of the great perfection! In any company, happy; lineage holder of the Lotus Born! Protector without rival; great treasure-revealing lama! Teachings beyond compare; heart-essence of the dakinis!
Having dispelled the heart's darkness, great ignorance, in its own place, The undiminished sun of luminous clarity shines continuously. This good fortune is the kindness of the lama, the only father. Unrepayable kindness! Only remember the lama!
- From the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism
