Scents that have no scent fill the universe with their incense
Appearances so sweet-smelling, the display of illusion
Their sweetness is dancing a magical dance⎯as I breathe it in, I
delight
I offer it all to the Lama who passes on the lineage of true
meaning
May I also gain the discipline that never is weakening.
Continuous Practice
Like the constant steady flow of a river as it flows
Like the steady constant flame of a candle as it glows
The yogi, day and night
In thatness rests the mind
DEPRESSION AND FEAR ARE MY FRIENDS
Namo Guru
There is no friend who can protect you like the Three Jewels do,
There's no experience that's better than bliss-emptiness.
When you have cut through all of your doubts, and done this for
yourself,
Then all of a sudden you'll be so confident—you'll see you're
doing well.
When you have pure love in your heart going out to everyone,
That's when you'll hold all sentient beings in your great
compassion.
This has been a song of couplets, and now that it's done,
Have you understood its meaning? Think carefully, my son.
Rechung, son, how are you doing? Are you feeling well?
Your old man feels so fantastic, {I'm as happy as can be.} x 3
Sung by Milarepa to Rechungpa in reply to his former song
"Five definitions".
ENEMIES AND FRIENDS
If you know that your enemies can turn into your friends,
When you are angry at them, you will cut through it.
If you know that your friends can turn into your enemies,
You'll cut through your attachment to them at its root.
What you must know about your friends and enemies
Is that they are equal. Understand this.
GROUND, PATH AND FRUITION
When I give it free rein, my horse gallops over the plane of great
bliss
What it's headed for is the level of buddhahood
The starting line is to cut samsara's basic root
The finish line, enlightenment's safe, dry shore
Scents that have no scent fill the universe with their incense
Appearances so sweet-smelling, the display of illusion
Their sweetness is dancing a magical dance⎯as I breathe it in, I
delight
I offer it all to the Lama who passes on the lineage of true
meaning
May I also gain the discipline that never is weakening.
