But for you, Naropa, earnest and loyal, must this be said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Void needs no reliance; Mahamudra rests on naught.&lt;br/&gt;
Without making an effort, but remaining natural,&lt;br/&gt;
One can break the yoke thus gaining liberation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If one looks for naught when staring into space;&lt;br/&gt;
If with the mind one then observes the mind;&lt;br/&gt;
One destroys distinctions and reaches Buddhahood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The clouds that wander through the sky have no roots, no home,&lt;br/&gt;
Nor do the distinctive thoughts floating through the mind.&lt;br/&gt;
Once the Self-mind is seen, Discrimination stops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In space, shapes and colors form&lt;br/&gt;
But neither by black nor white is space tinged.&lt;br/&gt;
From the Self-mind all things emerge;&lt;br/&gt;
The Mind by virtues and by vices is not stained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The darkness of ages cannot shroud the glowing sun;&lt;br/&gt;
The long eons of Samsara ne&amp;#8217;er can hide the Mind&amp;#8217;s brilliant light.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Though words are spoken to explain the Void, the Void as such can &lt;br/&gt;
never be expressed. Though we say &amp;#8220;the Mind is a bright light,&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;#8221; it is beyond all words and symbols. Although the Mind is void &lt;br/&gt;
in essence, all things it embraces and contains.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do naught with the body but relax;&lt;br/&gt;
Shut firm the mouth and silent remain;&lt;br/&gt;
Empty your mind and think of naught.&lt;br/&gt;
Like a hollow bamboo rest at ease your body.&lt;br/&gt;
Giving not nor taking, put your mind at rest.&lt;br/&gt;
Mahamudra is like a mind that clings to naught.&lt;br/&gt;
Thus practicing, in time you will reach Buddhahood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The practice of Mantra and Perfections, instructions in the Sutras and&lt;br/&gt;
Precepts, and teaching from the Schools and Scriptures will not bring&lt;br/&gt;
realization of the Innate Truth. For if the mind when filled with some &lt;br/&gt;
desire should seek a goal, it only hides the Light.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One who keeps the Tantric Precepts yet discriminates, betrays the &lt;br/&gt;
vows of Awakening,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cease all activity; abandon all desire; let thoughts rise and fall as they&lt;br/&gt;
will like the ocean waves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One who never harms the Non-abiding nor the Principles of non-distinction,&lt;br/&gt;
upholds the Tantric Precepts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He who abandons craving and clings not to this or that,&lt;br/&gt;
Perceives the real meaning given in the Scriptures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Mahamudra all one&amp;#8217;s sins are burned; in Mahamudra one is released from&lt;br/&gt;
the prison of this world. This is the Dharma&amp;#8217;s supreme torch. Those who&lt;br/&gt;
disbelieve it are fools who ever wallow in misery and sorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To strive for liberation one should rely on a Guru. When your mind receives&lt;br/&gt;
the Guru&amp;#8217;s blessing emancipation is at hand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alas, all things in this world are meaningless; they are but sorrow&amp;#8217;s seeds.&lt;br/&gt;
Small teachings lead to acts. One should only follow teachings that are great.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To transcend duality is the Kingly View; to conquer distractions is the&lt;br/&gt;
Royal Practice; the Path of No-practice is the Way of the Buddhas. 0ne who&lt;br/&gt;
treads that Path reaches Buddhahood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Transient is this world; like phantoms and dreams,&lt;br/&gt;
Substance it has none. Grasp not the world nor your kin;&lt;br/&gt;
Cut the strings of lust and hatred; meditate in woods and mountains.&lt;br/&gt;
If without effort you remain loosely in the &amp;#8220;natural state,&amp;#8221; &lt;br/&gt;
soon Mahamudra you will win and attain the Non-attainment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cut the root of the tree and the leaves will wither;&lt;br/&gt;
cut the root of your mind and Samsara falls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The light of any lamp dispels in a moment the darkness of long eons;&lt;br/&gt;
The strong light of the mind in but a flash will burn the veil of ignorance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whoever clings to mind sees not the truth of what&amp;#8217;s beyond the mind.&lt;br/&gt;
Whoever strives to practice Dharma finds not the truth of Beyond-practice.&lt;br/&gt;
One should cut cleanly through the root of the mind and stare naked.&lt;br/&gt;
One should thus break away from all distinctions and remain at ease.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One should not give and take but remain natural, for Mahamudra is beyond &lt;br/&gt;
all acceptance and rejection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since the consciousness is not born, no one can obstruct it or soil it;&lt;br/&gt;
Staying in the &amp;#8220;Unborn&amp;#8221; realm all appearances will dissolve into the&lt;br/&gt;
ultimate Dharma.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All self-will and pride will vanish into naught.&lt;br/&gt;
The supreme Understanding transcends all this and that.&lt;br/&gt;
The supreme Action embraces great resourcefulness without attachment.&lt;br/&gt;
The supreme Accomplishment is to realize immanence without hope.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At first a yogi feels his mind is tumbling like a waterfall;&lt;br/&gt;
In mid-course, like the Ganges, it flows on slow and gentle;&lt;br/&gt;
In the end, it is a great vast ocean,&lt;br/&gt;
Where the lights of Child and Mother merge in one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mahamudra trasciende las palabras y símbolos,&lt;br/&gt;
pero para ti, Naropa, he decir esto:&lt;br/&gt;
“El vacío no necesita apoyo;&lt;br/&gt;
Mahamudra descansa en la nada.&lt;br/&gt;
Sin hacer ningún esfuerzo;&lt;br/&gt;
permaneciendo relajado y natural&lt;br/&gt;
puede uno romper el yugo&lt;br/&gt;
y obtener de esta manera la Liberación.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Si ves el vacío cuando contemplas el espacio;&lt;br/&gt;
si con la mente observas la mente,&lt;br/&gt;
destruyes las distinciones&lt;br/&gt;
y alcanzas el estado de Buda.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Las nubes que vagan por el cielo no tienen raíces, ni hogar,&lt;br/&gt;
ni tampoco los diversos pensamientos que flotan en la mente.&lt;br/&gt;
Una vez contemplas la propia mente,&lt;br/&gt;
cesa la discriminación.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
En el espacio se forman figuras y colores,&lt;br/&gt;
pero ni el negro ni el blanco tiñen el espacio.&lt;br/&gt;
Todo emerge de la propia mente;&lt;br/&gt;
la mente no es manchada ni por virtudes ni por vicios.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
La oscuridad de siglos no puede ocultar el brillante sol,&lt;br/&gt;
ni tampoco los largos kalpas del samsara&lt;br/&gt;
pueden ocultar la esplendorosa luz de la mente.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Aunque se utilizan palabras para explicar el Vacío,&lt;br/&gt;
el Vacío como tal no puede ser nunca expresado.&lt;br/&gt;
Aunque decimos: `La mente es tan brillante como la luz´,&lt;br/&gt;
ésta trasciende palabras y símbolos.&lt;br/&gt;
Aunque la mente es en esencia vacío,&lt;br/&gt;
contiene y abarca todas las cosas.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
No hagas nada con el cuerpo; sólo relájalo..&lt;br/&gt;
Cierra la boca firmemente y guarda silencio.&lt;br/&gt;
Vacía tu mente y céntrate en el vacío.&lt;br/&gt;
Como un bambú hueco relaja tu cuerpo.&lt;br/&gt;
Sin dar ni tomar, pon tu mente a descansar.&lt;br/&gt;
Mahamudra es como una mente que a nada se apega.&lt;br/&gt;
Practicando así, a su tiempo alcanzarás el estado de Buda.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Ni la práctica de mantras ni el paramita,&lt;br/&gt;
ni la instrucción en sutras y preceptos,&lt;br/&gt;
ni las enseñanzas de escuelas y escrituras,&lt;br/&gt;
proporcionan la realización de la Verdad innata.&lt;br/&gt;
Si la mente llena de deseo busca una meta,&lt;br/&gt;
solamente logra ocultar la Luz.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Aquél que observa los preceptos tántricos&lt;br/&gt;
y sin embargo hace discriminaciones,&lt;br/&gt;
traiciona el espíritu del samaya.&lt;br/&gt;
Cesa toda actividad,&lt;br/&gt;
abandona todo deseo,&lt;br/&gt;
deja que los pensamientos surjan y desaparezcan&lt;br/&gt;
como las olas del océano.&lt;br/&gt;
Aquél que nunca contradice el no-morar-en-nada,&lt;br/&gt;
ni el principio de la no-distinción,&lt;br/&gt;
cumple los preceptos tántricos.&lt;br/&gt;
Aquél que abandona sus deseos&lt;br/&gt;
y no se aferra ni a esto ni a aquello,&lt;br/&gt;
percibe el verdadero significado que expresan las escrituras.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
En Mahamudra todos los pecados son incinerados;&lt;br/&gt;
en Mahamudra uno es liberado en la prisión del mundo.&lt;br/&gt;
Ésta es la suprema antorcha del Dharma.&lt;br/&gt;
Los que no creen en ella, son tontos que para siempre se revuelcan en el sufrimiento y la miseria.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Para luchar por la liberación&lt;br/&gt;
uno debe depender de un Gurú.&lt;br/&gt;
Cuando tu mente reciba sus bendiciones,&lt;br/&gt;
la emancipación estará a tu alcance.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
De este modo, todas las cosas de este mundo&lt;br/&gt;
 resultan insignificantes;&lt;br/&gt;
no son más que semillas de dolor.&lt;br/&gt;
Las pequeñas enseñanzas te llevan a actuar;&lt;br/&gt;
uno debe seguir sólo las grandes enseñanzas.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Trascender la dualidad es la visión del rey.&lt;br/&gt;
Conquistar las distracciones es la práctica de los reyes.&lt;br/&gt;
El camino de la no-práctica es el camino de todos los Budas.&lt;br/&gt;
Aquél que recorre ese camino alcanza el estado del Buda.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Este mundo es transitorio,&lt;br/&gt;
como los fantasmas y los sueños, sin substancia alguna.&lt;br/&gt;
Renuncia a él y abandona a tus parientes,&lt;br/&gt;
corta los cordones de la lujuria y del odio&lt;br/&gt;
y medita en los bosques y montañas.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Si  dejas de luchar y permaneces relajado y natural,&lt;br/&gt;
pronto obtendrás el  Mahamudra&lt;br/&gt;
y alcanzarás lo inalcanzable.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Corta la raíz de un árbol y sus hojas se secarán;&lt;br/&gt;
corta la raíz de tu mente y el samsara se desvanecerá.&lt;br/&gt;
La luz de una lámpara dispersa instantáneamente&lt;br/&gt;
la oscuridad de largos kalpas;&lt;br/&gt;
la intensa luz de la Mente quemará, como un rayo,&lt;br/&gt;
 el velo de la ignorancia.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Quien se aferra a la mente&lt;br/&gt;
no ve la verdad de lo que está más allá de la mente.&lt;br/&gt;
Quien se esfuerza en practicar el dharma&lt;br/&gt;
no encuentra la verdad que está más allá de la práctica.&lt;br/&gt;
Para conocer lo que está más allá de ambas, mente y práctica,&lt;br/&gt;
uno debe cortar de raíz la mente&lt;br/&gt;
y observarlo todo en total desnudez.&lt;br/&gt;
De esta forma, uno deja de lado toda distinción&lt;br/&gt;
y permanece tranquilo.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Uno no debe dar ni tomar, sino permanecer natural,&lt;br/&gt;
porque Mahamudra está más allá&lt;br/&gt;
de toda aceptación o rechazo.&lt;br/&gt;
Puesto que alaya es no-nacido,&lt;br/&gt;
nadie puede obstruirlo, ni mancillarlo.&lt;br/&gt;
Al permanecer en el reino de lo no-nacido&lt;br/&gt;
toda apariencia se disolverá en el Dharmata,&lt;br/&gt;
y la voluntad y el orgullo se desvanecerán en la nada.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
La comprensión suprema&lt;br/&gt;
trasciende «esto» y  «eso».&lt;br/&gt;
La acción suprema&lt;br/&gt;
maneja todas las situaciones, sin apego.&lt;br/&gt;
La realización suprema&lt;br/&gt;
es tomar consciencia de lo inmanente, sin esperanza.&lt;br/&gt;
 &lt;br/&gt;
Al principio, el yogui siente que su mente&lt;br/&gt;
se precipita como una cascada;&lt;br/&gt;
a mitad de su curso fluye lenta y plácida,&lt;br/&gt;
como el Ganges;&lt;br/&gt;
al final es como un grandioso y vasto océano&lt;br/&gt;
donde las luces del hijo y de la madre se funden en una sola.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://to-enlightment.tumblr.com/post/51072689582</link><guid>http://to-enlightment.tumblr.com/post/51072689582</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 11:11:47 -0400</pubDate><dc:creator>whimwhim</dc:creator></item><item><title>"El abandono del mal, el cultivo del bien y la purificación de la mente: tal es la enseñanza de los..."</title><description>“El abandono del mal, el cultivo del bien y la purificación de la mente: tal es la enseñanza de los Budas. ”</description><link>http://to-enlightment.tumblr.com/post/49653762760</link><guid>http://to-enlightment.tumblr.com/post/49653762760</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 May 2013 00:27:19 -0400</pubDate><dc:creator>whimwhim</dc:creator></item><item><title>Distinguiendo los fenómenos y el Ser puro</title><description>&lt;a href="http://miamadomila.blogspot.com/2012/09/distinguiendo-los-fenomenos-y-el-ser.html"&gt;Distinguiendo los fenómenos y el Ser puro&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Los fenómenos son samsara, proyecciones confusas.&lt;br/&gt;
El Ser puro es nirvana una vez superado todo el dolor.&lt;br/&gt;
Estos dos no son uno y lo mismo, ni diferentes;&lt;br/&gt;
Uno es como el hielo y el otro como su agua.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Si atraviesas los fenómenos, las proyecciones confusas del samsara,&lt;br/&gt;
el Ser puro se manifiesta. Esto es transformación.&lt;br/&gt;
Entonces la apariencia desnuda brilla&lt;br/&gt;
Como los reflejos sobre las aguas de un océano de hielo derretido.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To question is unbelievably powerful. But if you question all the time and you remain in doubt, going first this way and then that, conviction is absent. If you develop a line of inquiry and learn from your experience, conviction grows. Then you put that conviction into practice but remain open to new information and experience. You set a steady course and remain willing to grow and learn. That is powerful.&lt;/p&gt;
