"There are some who apply reasoning /
And cling to nothing whatsoever. /
But if you were to claim that non-existence is the ultimate, /
It would follow that the horns of a rabbit must be so."

No one who met Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche can ever forget his extraordinary presence or the spirit in which he taught, which embodied so perfectly the fathomless ease and vastness of Dzogpachenpo.

When these hallucinations are investigated,
They are found to be unreal.
When you understand that, just like space,
They cannot be removed,
Just let them be.
And do not cling so foolishly
To this world’s real existence—
This world that, like a trick of sight,
Appears without existing.

I'm a longtime #contemplative and student of #meditation practices. I look to ask of contemplative traditions' teachings, "How does this actually work? What is the experience that it refers to and the matter-of fact realization it reflects?"

And my personal translation of the passage @Ogmin shares here is this:

"There's a miracle going on, there really is, and it's everything."

According to the Great Perfection, the primordial purity of dharmata, the true nature of phenomena, is already innately present. For this reason, we are to regard all that appears and exists in the phenomenal world as a mandala of pure appearances. Everything is a naturally present, all-encompassing purity from the very beginning.

The essence is the void, the real condition of the individual and of all phenomena. This base is the condition of all individuals, whether they are aware of it or not, whether they are enlightened or in transmigration. It is said to be "pure from the beginning" (ka dag), because, like space, it is free of all impediments, and is the basis of all the manifestations in existence.

Das Wie des Jetzt
Das Wie des Jetzt
könnte dich verrückt machen
denn das Jetzt entschlüpft dem Wie
und Methoden bringen Schmerz.
Der Spötter von Mühen
ist immer im Spiel.
Wonach immer du greifst,
es entgleitet dir.
Weder Kommen noch Gehen,
es ist immer da.
Wenn du dich darin findest,
gibt es nichts zu befürchten.
Drum lass alles Methodische los,
denn es hängt nicht an dir.
Du hast, was du brauchst;
es geschieht ganz als du.

@Almanaque
Saliento q esta não é a primeira epopeia d tradução/adaptação q o #Budismo empreende. Nas suas migrações a tradução do sânscrito p/ o #tibetano e as adaptações q os tibetanos realizaram foram profundamente enriquecedoras para o ferramental doutrinário do Budismo. Daí nasceu entre outras variantes, o #Dzogchen. O mesmo se passou com a introdução na China que veio a desenvolver outra variante extremamente rica, o #Chan, e mais tarde, num saltinho para o arquipélago japonês, o #Zen.
