Info

This steady experience of bliss and emptiness Is a sign of my taming the channels, circulating energy, and vital essence. This conduct without reference points Is a sign of my calming the violent wind of the eight worldly concerns. This destruction of hopes and fears for attainment Is a sign of my certainty that my own mind is Buddha. The meditator endowed with these seven signs Has reached the place where mind is blissful and happy within itself. I am not unhappy; I am happy. May all be auspicious with bliss and happiness. A Sea of Blessings 167
LOCHEN GYURMÉ DÉCHEN Lochen Gyurmé Déchen, nephew of the great accomplished master Tangtong Gyalpo, sang this song, a prayer of the Six Doctrines, called The Rain of Great Bliss: Nama Shri Jnana Daki Nigupta-yé! Lady of the celestial realms, compassionate one, Chief of wisdom dakinis, Niguma, When I, your child, pray fervently to you, In your expanse free from formulations, please think of me. Lady who reveals the sacred circle of great secrets, Bestow now the empowerment of the four joys! Lady who opens the door to the unborn state, Clear away now my negative acts and obscurations with the purification practice! Lady who emits fire from the short Ah, Burn now my soiled aggregates and sense elements! Lady who draws great bliss from the syllable Ham, Bestow now coemergent wisdom! Lady who reveals the natural experience of illusion, Destroy now my attachment to the reality of anger and desire! Lady who emanates and transforms during lucid dreams, Cut now my bonds to supplementary delusion! 168
