+  The essence of all the songs can be epitomized by the four dharmas of
+Gampopa.  These are: (1) one’s mind becomes dharmic; (2) that dharma
+practice becomes path; (3) in following that path, confusion is removed; (4)
+having removed confusion, everything dawns as wisdom.
+  The first dharma is the ground, where our mind becomes dharmic so that we
+and the dharma are no longer separate entities.  We develop true renunciation
+and have a sense of revulsion towards samsara.  The second dharma is the path.
+When our mind goes along with the dharma, the dharma becomes the path, and any
+obstacles, whether extreme or ordinary, become a part of our journey.  The
+third dharma is the fruition.  As the journey is taking place, the process of
+the journey liberates us from confusion and anxiety.  We are delighted by our
+journey and we feel it is good.  The fourth dharma is the total vision.  When
+we are able to overcome confusion and anxiety, even our anxiety is not
+regarded as anti-dharma or anti-path.  Cosmic wakefulness takes place.
