Kalu Rinpoche | Illusory Body and Mind – you have that capacity

Okay, so just as a demonstration and symbolically, let’s repeat after me by visualizing the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in front of you or Niguma:

“dusum sangyé
dusum sangyé [repeated by the assembly]…
tamché
dupai ngowo
lama Rinpoche
semchen tamché kyi döndu
dak-gi dak-dzin lo-yi tongwar dzé du sol
Gömé gyu-la kyé-war dzé du sol
Gyulu jongpar dzé du sol
Milam jongpar dzé du sol
Özer chakgya chenpo chok-gi ngödrup ta-da nyi-du, nyurwa nyi-du, duk-sa di-nyi du, tobpar chingyi lab tu sol”

It says:

[Tibetan]
“The way you make a prayer has to be almost like you are going to merge into the Guru and as if the Guru is going to merge into you.” That sort of a thing, not visually, but that is a mental attitude.

You have that capacity!

When you hate somebody you’re almost going to burn them alive. When you love somebody you’re going to melt in the front of that person. When you are not acknowledged for your contribution you feel like an hungry ghost. So we have all that qualities in our ordinary life.

So we have this quality as well as if we are going to merge into the Guru and as if that the blessings and the presence of the Guru, as if they are going to merge into my body, speech and mind, the sense of “wanting to be inseparable, wanting to be inseparable, wanting to be inseparable” and so on.

Okay.
