Timeless Rapture: Inspired Verse from the Shangpa Masters

Purbu Tashi, and Lama Pasang Dorjé, made offerings to repeatedly encourage
me: “You must write the vital points of experiential cultivation in the
form of a song.”
It’s impossible for a song giving profound advice to others to emerge
from someone like me, who is nothing more than an ordinary, self-centered
individual. Yet, so as not to deny the intentions of those who made
the request and despite my not having cultivated this experience, I kept in
my mind only the unfailing blessings of the Kagyu masters endowed with
the tantras and wrote this on October 1, 2002, in the retreat center. I,
Karma Ngédön Chökyi Lodrö, who bears the title of Bokar Tulku, pray
that this will prove helpful to those who rely on me.
Ah-Ho!

A Sea of Blessings 211
Great bliss of intrinsic awareness—spiritual master of ultimate reality;
Wisdom’s display, enlightenment’s three bodies—infinite hosts of the
Three Roots’ deities;
Natural repose, fully and primordially free from all change or
movement—the innate, basic nature:
Please come to this feast gathering, a festival of uncontrived, exposed
awareness-emptiness.
