you may be,
there is no end to worldly activities;
but if you practice the Dharma,
you will swiftly conclude everything.
However nice they may seem,
samsaric affairs always end in disaster;
but the fruits of practicing the Dharma
will never deteriorate.
Since beginning of time
you have collected and encouraged
karma, negative emotions,
and habitual tendencies,
which force you to wander in samsara.
If you continue like that,
when will liberation arrive?
If you only see all this
at the moment of death,
It's rather too late—
When the head's already been severed,
What use is any medicine?
Recognizing the suffering of samsara,
turn toward the peace of nirvana."
(Guru Rinpoche, 8th Century)
Body, mind and world appear like 3 orthogonal vectors;
they define the mind-made matrix which we seem caught in.
There is one specific action—Dharma—which sets us free.
Dharma is not hard to spot; it’s always what is in front of us.
Samsara can be finished in “being, consciousness, bliss.”
How do we connect? Amor fati—love fate—and manifest it
as That which is before thought, feeling and action.
