The stream is still the stream, the trees are still the trees but once a veil has been lifted, we see afresh, we see life in all its vibrancy.

Mind Training: The 72 Exhortations (61-63)

For the kind beings of the three realms,
Who've been your parents in past lives,
Abandon all malice and hostility
And cultivate loving kindness and compassion.

When you cause harm to sentient beings,
The compassionate victors feel
Like parents whose only child is killed.
There's no way at all that it could please them.

All the sufferings of samsara
Arise from the cause, karma and afflictions.
Those arise from conceiving of a self,
So look at egolessness.

— Kharak Gomchung

Tummo....the Inner Fire 🔥

For those grasping for insights into the realisation of Tummo, there is no real need for a "special sequence" of anything relating to the practice.
It may however be directly experience through a number of means, all of which are secondary to the focus, attitude, integrity & intention behind your personal connection & vow to realise enlightenment.

Is inner fire an indication of your efforts being in the right direction, yes!
Is it outwith the realms of the experience of the human condition, no!

Nurture & nourish your intention without expectation, practice because you have confidence in the teachings, stay present in the moment, observe, experience, realisation, liberation & even enlightenment come to those who do not grasp!

"An occasional moment of inspiration or illumination is not enough to give meaning to your life; you must also learn to make such moments last, so that they become a permanent state of consciousness that purifies and restores order to your whole being.

You will say, ‘But what you are asking is impossible. No one can sustain divine states of consciousness in life indefinitely.’

Well, to all appearances, you are right, I know, because I live in the same world as you, and I know what it is like.
But I also know that whatever the circumstances and in spite of fatigue, discouragement, sorrow or misfortune, disciples of the light will never let themselves be turned from their path.

On the contrary, they hold fast to all the great and beautiful experiences they have had, to those special moments of grace that have shown them the true meaning of life."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

All you need by Chatral Rinpoche

The clothing and alms needed to keep you alive are all you need.
You might dine on the finest meal of delicious meat and alcohol,
But it all turns into something impure the very next morning,
And there is nothing more to it all than that.
So be content with life-sustaining provisions and simple clothes,
And be a loser when it comes to food, clothing and conversation.

The more we train, the more we spontaneously become free from conscious thought. In a way, it’s mindless mindfulness! It’s very hard to explain. I can try to explain the taste of my favourite noodles from Xinjiang, - which I miss now that I live in London - but you will never understand, you need to taste them for yourself. “Let the teacher be the needle, let the student be the thread.” My Live Masterclass starts next month.

Dakini Moments

I believe a dakini is an embodiment of female energy.

It is a beautiful, divine way of seeing female energy. And I do believe that everyone has dakini quality. I don’t personally see anybody being a dakini all the time, but I do see moments of dakini emenation in everyone I’ve met. I see their moments of being a dakini and I believe that those little moments can be stretched once their wisdom and compassion increases.

Recognition of dakinis is important, but the growth of wisdom and compassion is more worth our attention.
