I like the pithiness of this piece. Direct. Simple. Clear enough for even my coudy mind.
A Song on the Six Perfections
by Milarepa
Beyond ending the maintenance of a sense of self,
There is no other generosity.
Beyond ending deception and cunning,
There is no other morality.
Beyond being without fear of what is ultimately true,
There is no other patience.
Beyond being never apart from practice,
There is no other effort.
Beyond resting in composure,
There is no other meditative stability.
Beyond knowing how things are,
There is no other understanding.
This new piece from Ken McLeod's fine website, Unfettered Mind. It's worth it to poke around here and see his other work and services.
Very understanding of the feeling; very eloquent in her ability to make others feel as well.
