Perfection of Meditation Practice

Let It Be

When the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Faith, trust, and surrender. Practice that today

Tilopa's Mahamudra Teaching to Naropa

Is space anywhere supported? Upon what does it rest? 

Like space, Mahamudra is dependant upon nothing; 

Relax and settle in the continuum of unalloyed purity, 

And, your bonds loosening, release is certain. 

Gazing intently into the empty sky, vision ceases; 

Likewise, when mind gazes into mind itself, 

The train of discursive and conceptual thought ends 

And supreme enlightenment is gained. 

Like the morning mist that dissolves into thin air, 

Going nowhere but ceasing to be, 

Waves of conceptualization, all the mind's creation, dissolve, 

When you behold your mind's true nature. 

Pure space has neither colour nor shape 

And it cannot be stained either black or white; 

So also, mind's essence is beyond both colour and shape 

And it cannot be sullied by black or white deeds. 

The darkness of a thousand aeons is powerless 

To dim the crystal clarity of the sun's heart; 

And likewise, aeons of samsara have no power 

To veil the clear light of the mind's essence.
