"The Rosary of Jewels: Oral
Instructions to the Prince, Lord, Subjects, and Friend; the Catalogue and
Framework of Practice (Texts)" by Padmasambhava.
This text belongs to the class of oral instuctions (zhaldam) that
Padmasambhava bestowed on Yeshe Tsogyal as well as his close disciples. It was
revealed by Terchen Tsasum Lingpa in 1718 from the hermitage of Samye Chimpu in
Central Tibet, as part of the terma cycle "Union of All Sugatas, the Heart
Practice of the Guru". |
"Generation Stage is appearance-emptiness, free from
ego-clinging. Completion Stage is free from meeting, following or fabricating
the thought. The mantra of sound-emptiness is free from speculating on good
or bad, Generation Stage leads to the supreme and ordinary
accomplishments. Attaining confidence in the supreme (siddhi) is the degree
of progress. Accomplishment of compassion is devotion to the Guru.
Realization is perceiving all (Guru's) actions as positive. Single word,
accomplishing all goals, is the Secret Mantra. Single taste, unifying all
essences, is the sustenance of samadhi. Single radiance, luminous in all
directions, is the great wisdom. Single ornament, beautiful to all, is the
wish-fulfilling gem. Single seat, attained by all, is Dharmakaya. Single
friend, in harmony with all, is the innate nature. Single child, loving to
all, is the pure essence of the sense-organs. Single wealth, enriching all,
is the treasure of mind-essence. Single castle, resisting all, is the Vajra
Dome. Single expanse, withstanding all, is the vajra treasure. The only
weapon, (that is) ever sharp, is the sword of wisdom. The only army,
overcoming all, is the host of the five poisons. The only way to reverse it
is the Great Perfection."
Padmasambhava
