A KORA OF KORAS

When Kukkuripa returned to his forest cave, the dog he had left behind ran up to
him. Both master and dog were extremely happy, and Kukkuripa picked up the
black she-dog, held it in his lap and caressed it. As he did so, the dog became the
Vajrayogini, radiant in the full bloom of youth, splendid with all the major and
minor auspicious marks.
This Wisdom Dakini told him that he (Kukkuripa) had learned there are greater
things than renunciation or the pleasure of the God realm. She said:
“The pure and free expanse of Liberation is not reached
by the contrived path of rejecting the world.
The changeless radiance of Great Compassion
Is not reached by the fabricated path of clinging to good qualities,
You are free from concepts. You sleep in an outhouse, consort with bitches,
are without possessions; play no instruments, and parrot no prayers or scriptures.”
With this instruction the Vajrayogini helped grant Kukkuripa realization and he
returned to the city of Kapilavastu, where he lived a long life
for the benefit of others.
