Timeless Rapture: Inspired Verse from the Shangpa Masters

Settle within the three existences’ primordial liberation.
This is the vajra song to define meditation.
Iti. 6
É Ma Ho!
How wonderful!
To be careful is the best conduct.
Don’t be careless; be vigilant and mindful.
Whatever you do, don’t set limits.
Do anything at all, like a child.
Be uncontrived, like an infant.
Be fearless, like a lion.
Have no hesitation, like an elephant entering water.
Have no concern with cleanliness—play like dogs or pigs.
Consider all places to have the same flavor, like a fly.
Don’t impede what naturally arises, like a madman.
Be without reference points, like a flesh-eating spirit.
Go everywhere, like the wind.
Such movement without attachment is best.
Seal whatever you experience with the mark of the unborn state.
This is the vajra song to define conduct.
