Teachings of Menri Trizin

Teachings of Menri Trizin

Know history, Know relationships
Track lineages, broken and unbroken
Consider legend and alternate explanations
Tonpa Shenrab is Buddha of Body, Buddha Number Nine
Shakyamuni is Buddha of Speech
Three paths beckon:
Renunciation, Transformation, and Self-Liberation
Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen

Who is meditating?
Who is searching for mind?
Unfindable yet Clear, Emptiness and Clarity inseparable
Notice this and Dwell in this Continuum
This is Innate Awareness, Rigpa, the Home of Undivided Mind

The mind of preference is divided, liking this and not liking that
This is judgment, which requires the scales of duality
Dwell without chasing the past and future
Thoughts need not be followed
Mindful Spontaneous Presence is open and boundless
Our habit hides our true nature
Compassion is the Center of Dharma
Spontaneous Compassion is Non-judgmental
There is no ego self to please or protect
There is only Other to bring to understanding
Therefore, Become a Buddha
Awaken the Heart of Compassion
