Timeless Rapture: Inspired Verse from the Shangpa Masters

A Sea of Blessings 185
This represents the summit of the many profound teachings that
vigorously cut through supplementary delusion.
These teachings that quickly transport even a shepherd to
enlightenment
Come from the kindness of the spiritual master, the Buddha, with
whom I have a slight connection.
Impermanence, disillusionment, conduct, sacred substances, the path
of means, and prayer
Form the root, branches, leaves, flowers, and vines that grow
To produce subtle and deep clear light, the fruit you grasp, integrated
as enlightenment’s three bodies.
The meditation is clarity and emptiness; the postmeditative state
merges bliss and emptiness, day and night.
Thus, the lamp of Clear Light illumines the dark room of stupidity’s
sleep.
Through the connection of gathering the mind and circulating energy
and, particularly, by the spiritual master’s blessing,
You will find inseparable bliss, clarity, and emptiness—profound,
peaceful, and unformulated clear light—
Hidden within every circumstance, breaking the seeming boundaries
of dualistic experience.
[Transference of Consciousness] to ultimate enlightenment’s body
sends consciousness to the nature of reality; of the body of rapture,
to the deity of union.
[Transference of Consciousness] can be done through the force of the
master’s blessing or as flawless upward transference to the celestial
realms.
These are done according to your level of capability at the time of death.
All present-day tantric practitioners perform this practice of creation
and completion.
The clear light of the body of ultimate enlightenment, the victors’
body of rapture,
The unimpeded, self-arising manifest body, and the general, faultless
vital teachings
