OUR CHILDISH MINDS WERE UNFIT VESSELS FOR SO VAST AN OCEAN OF TEACHINGS | Print |  E-mail

Prasdrin pararia syaklutaki yanta,
Tray am guhyanatd tigolama eka,
Sudhi vajradharottarah muni aksha,
Prayachchha tashubham valdruga kota.

O Lama Lozang Dragpa, One with Shakyamuni and Vajradhara, O sum of every perfect refuge, O mandala-guise complete with three mysteries of Enlightenment, rain upon us ten
million goodnesses.

(About Pabongka Rinpoche)
O my Guru, my protector, who, through the Supreme Vehicle, vanquished the extreme of selfish peace, who, unattached to worldly comforts, upheld the three high trainings and the teachings of the Victor, whose noble good works remained untarnished by the eight worldly concerns.

You were the very fountain-head of goodness. Everything you said was medicine to drive out hundreds of diseases;

"Our childish minds were unfit vessels for so vast an ocean of teachings"

So precious a source of qualities. How sad if these teachings were forgotten!

Here, I have recorded but a few. Immeasurable, countless numbers of Buddhas have come in the past. But unfortunate beings such as myself were not worthy enough to be direct disciples even of Shakyamuni, the best of protectors, who stands out like a white lotus among the thousand great Buddhas, the saviors of this fortunate aeon. First we had to be forced into developing even a moments wholesome thought; this took us to the optimum physical rebirth as a human.

We have been taught this most unmistaken path, which will lead us to the level of omniscience, at which time we shall gain our freedom. But, to be brief,

"I was saved time and time again from infinite numbers of different evils, and was brought closer to infinity of magnificent things."

My glorious and holy Guru did this.
