Keep them in mind! -- Shabkar Natshok Rangdrol, in "The Life of Shabkar" - +~ +On the very night of Dodrupchen’s death, his spiritual testament was +received by his principal disciple, Do Khyentse. Dodrupchen appeared in the +sky in a radiant light body and an attire of lights. He was floating on a +carpet of light, which was held up by four dakinis. In a very enchanting +voice he sang the verses of his testament, which include the following lines: + + I am going into the expanse of the Wisdom of the Ultimate Sphere, + Which is the state that transcends thoughts and expressions. + I am going into the state of Mirrorlike Wisdom, + Which is the ceaseless clear glow, fresh and open. + I am going into the expanse of the Wisdom of Evenness, + In which all the thoughts of grasping and grasper have vanished into the + ultimate sphere. + I am going into the Wisdom of Discriminative Awareness, + Which is the clarity, the dawn of six kinds of foreknowledge. + I am going into the state of the Wisdom of Accomplishment, + Which emanates various manifestations in accordance with [the needs of] + trainable beings. + + Son, please stay healthy. + Now you have won over the obstructions of your life. + Until all the phenomenal existents are liberated as the signs and + teachings [of Dharma], + [You should be] aware of samsara and nirvana as dreams and illusions. + Dedicate yourself to the meditation where there is no reference point. + This is the empowerment of total entrustment and aspiration. + This is the supreme empowerment of empowerments. + + -- from "Masters of Meditation and Miracles", by Tulku Thondup.
