0:06

He is next.

0:30

Homage to all noble persons

0:33

endowed with great compassion. Homage

0:42

to him who, like

0:45

the sun, is

0:47

shining in the wondrous brightness of

0:50

what is good and pure. From

1:02

the primordial basic space of the

1:04

ground, displaying

1:06

various manifestations of his

1:08

compassion. And

1:12

looking after living beings by his

1:14

enlightened actions. Homage

1:19

to him who, after

1:22

completing all that was to be

1:24

done, went

1:26

to Kushinagar. Truly

1:29

the most wondrous city, to

1:32

teach a lesson to those who believe

1:34

in permanence. From

1:43

former time, I know

1:45

the nature of samsara. Therefore,

1:52

from one about to leave behind this

1:55

body, which is

1:57

transitory and deceptive. Listen

2:01

to this admonition which

2:04

is solely for your benefit. Worldly

2:13

things are completely meaningless.

2:23

Although you may hold to things as

2:26

real during your life, you

2:29

will most surely find that deceiving.

2:37

Once you have fully understood that

2:39

you cannot rely on that which

2:42

is impermanent and meaningless,

2:46

attend to real dharma which

2:49

alone is beneficial. The

3:04

wealth and possessions you have amassed

3:06

must be left behind. Stay

3:10

alike honey, to

3:12

be enjoyed by those who did not gather

3:14

them. Now

3:21

while you still can, make

3:25

arrangements for your needs on

3:27

the way hereafter. The

3:31

wealth that will confer on you

3:33

excellent qualities. The

3:44

house you have built is going to

3:46

collapse. It

3:49

is only a temporary abode. You

3:54

cannot stay on, But must

3:56

go. Dismiss

4:04

your attachment I'm craving for

4:06

place? is it Excitement? Resort

4:10

to solitary places straight

4:12

away. Friendship

4:29

and hostility. I like the play

4:32

as children. Love

4:35

and hatred for that which has

4:37

no sell. you are a blazing

4:39

fire. Avoid

4:43

squabbles and resentments.

4:48

Control your mind straight

4:50

away. The

5:04

being meaningless the like

5:07

a magic show. Although

5:11

you involve yourself in them for a

5:13

while. Ultimately,

5:16

they are fruitless. See

5:23

struggling about the sliced. Dismiss

5:28

worldly concerns. Look

5:31

for the road to

5:33

Deliverance straight away. your

5:48

precious human body with

5:50

his freedoms and endowments

5:53

is like a priceless

5:55

boat While

6:00

you still have the power to steer it across

6:03

the ocean of frustrations, shown

6:07

laziness, indolence

6:10

and idleness, activate

6:14

the power of strenuous endeavour

6:18

straight away. The

6:34

real Guru is

6:36

like an escort on

6:38

a dangerous road. With

6:46

great confidence and devotion of

6:48

body, speech and mind, depend

6:52

on this guide who

6:54

protects against the enemy of

6:56

Samsara. Venerate

7:02

and rely on them straight

7:04

away. Instruction

7:16

in the profound is

7:19

like the nectar of immortality.

7:26

Since it is the best cure

7:28

for the disease of disturbing emotions,

7:33

depend on your awareness, discover

7:37

precisely its quality, imbibe

7:42

it and allow

7:44

it to affect you straight

7:47

away. The

8:01

view is like the bright sky,

8:05

free from all that is high or

8:07

low, divided

8:10

or partial, neither

8:14

wide nor narrow. It

8:18

is beyond attempts to verbalize it. It

8:25

is by the tool of insightful understanding

8:28

straight away. It

8:46

is like a mountain or

8:48

an ocean, neither

8:50

passing away nor

8:53

changing. It

8:55

is lucid and unstained.

9:02

All labelling which erupts through

9:05

the proliferation of concepts thus

9:08

ceases. Meditate

9:16

by letting be just

9:18

as it is straight

9:21

away. Conduct

9:45

is like the wise person. It

9:48

acts in accordance with what is

9:51

appropriate and beneficial. This

9:55

realm of magic, with

9:58

its wantiness and attachment, accepting

10:02

and rejecting, affirmations

10:05

and denials. Free

10:09

it from dualistic fixation

10:13

straight away. Fruition

10:33

is like a guide gathering riches.

10:38

Wealthy himself, he

10:41

allows others values spontaneously to

10:43

come forth. Without

10:47

hopes or fears, the

10:50

mind feels naturally blissful. Exert

10:55

yourself to win this wealth straight

10:58

away. Mind,

11:17

a continual source of

11:19

perceived phenomena, is

11:21

like the sky, the

11:25

sky of mind nature, Dhammata.

11:30

Without duality, united

11:33

and complete. Understand

11:40

it thoroughly straight

11:43

away. you

12:03

All the variety of things

12:05

and ideas are

12:07

like images in a mirror. Appearances

12:12

are empty, yet

12:14

there is no substance to emptiness. If

12:22

this paradox is left unresolved,

12:25

complacency prevails. No

12:31

experience thoroughly for what it

12:33

is straight

12:35

away. The

12:53

subject, dealing with

12:55

its objects, is like

12:57

a dream. Although

13:02

there is no duality, ingrained

13:05

habits cause duality to appear.

13:13

What is conceptualised by the

13:15

intellect has no

13:17

independent existence. No

13:25

non-duality straight

13:27

away. Samsara

13:47

and transcendence are

13:50

like a magic show. Although

13:53

good and bad seem to exist

13:55

separately, the non-dual

13:59

essence remains

14:01

unchanged. All

14:05

realities are unborn like

14:09

the sky. Know

14:14

this thoroughly straight

14:16

away. Confused

14:44

phenomena are like

14:46

a parade of happiness and misery. Once

14:50

good and bad have individually arisen,

14:54

they perpetuate themselves. In

15:01

actuality, they

15:03

remain unborn. In

15:10

essence, they neither

15:12

pass away nor change. Know

15:19

this thoroughly straight

15:21

away. Intellectual

15:39

understandings are like

15:41

the quarrels of foolish men. There

15:45

is nothing substantial to them. Divisive

15:52

notions have introduced a

15:54

split, and

15:57

principled attitudes will take

15:59

good and good. bad to be

16:01

separate. No

16:06

equanimity straight away.

16:28

Inequality is like a precious treasure.

16:33

Inexhaustible, increasing

16:36

evermore. The

16:40

cause of good fortune. To

16:47

the fields of merits, whether

16:49

they are lesser, common

16:52

or superior, give

16:55

what is deserving straight

16:57

away. Discipline

17:20

is like a fine, clean carriage.

17:24

The ladder for climbing up to higher

17:27

realms or to

17:29

the fortress of happiness. Restraint,

17:37

adherence to the dharma and

17:40

aiding all beings. Let

17:44

these qualities abide in yourself straight

17:47

away. Inequality

17:55

is like a fine,

17:57

clean carriage. Patience

18:10

is like the undisturbed ocean.

18:15

It cannot be perturbed by harm. It

18:19

is the best rigorous training. It

18:24

is like having frustrations and

18:26

developing a sense of compassion. Accustom

18:32

and familiarise yourself with patience

18:36

straight away. Shameless

18:54

wisdom is like

18:56

clouds gathering in the sky. From

19:01

the nourishing clouds of insight, it

19:04

lets fall the rain of

19:06

prosperity and bliss and

19:10

makes the crop of goodness prosper

19:13

in all beings. Make

19:19

efforts to achieve this original

19:21

wakefulness straight

19:24

away. Goodness

19:47

is like one's parents, caring

19:50

ceaselessly for the children, for

19:53

six kinds of beings. and

20:01

enable success in the Dharma to

20:04

be realised. Familiarise

20:09

yourself with kindness straight

20:12

away. Compassion

20:36

is like the Bodhisattvas, the

20:40

Buddha's spiritual heirs, clothed

20:45

in the armour of diligence. They

20:49

desire to free beings from suffering

20:52

as if the pain were their own. Let

20:59

compassion grow in yourself straight

21:01

away. Equanimity

21:30

is like the level earth, without

21:34

attachment or aversion to

21:37

those near or far, and

21:40

free from hardship. Great

21:46

bliss emerges from its

21:48

everlasting evenness. Familiarise

21:55

yourself with equanimity straight

21:58

away. Devotion

22:21

is like the great ocean and

22:23

the high seas, full

22:26

of what is wholesome, maintained

22:29

meaning one taste throughout, its

22:34

waves of faith surge, never

22:37

ceasing. Let

22:41

devotion swell in your heart straight

22:44

away. Rejoicing

23:08

is like the vault of the sky, its

23:14

merits are unlimited, it

23:17

is insubstantial and

23:19

without pride, thoroughly

23:24

unimpeded and unshakeable.

23:32

Let rejoicing grow on and on

23:35

straight away. is

24:00

like an iron hook. It

24:03

keeps in check the untamed, drunken,

24:06

elephant of mind. Turning

24:11

it away from evil and

24:14

tying it to what is wholesome, let

24:17

mindfulness reside in you straight

24:20

away. Alertness

24:43

is like an attentive sentinel. It

24:48

does not offer the thief non-virtue

24:50

a chance. It

24:56

is there to guard the wealth of goodness.

25:02

Have such alertness with you straight

25:06

away. Trust

25:28

is like a fertile field. It

25:31

lets all aspirations grow into

25:35

the harvest of enlightenment. The fields

25:40

of bliss, here

25:42

and hereafter. Trust

25:45

always yields good fortune. Let

25:51

it increase straight away.

26:14

Pleasant speech is

26:16

like the sound of thunder. It

26:20

captivates and

26:22

pleases the minds of beings. It

26:28

reverberates around those to be taught

26:32

and makes them feel happy. Gladden

26:38

others by singing their praises

26:41

straight away. Calm

27:06

behaviour is like a

27:08

true sage. Non-virtue

27:13

ceases and

27:16

people's trust increases. Give

27:22

up artificiality and

27:25

make this natural discipline your

27:27

supreme conduct straight

27:30

away. Sacred

27:57

Dharma is like the Buddha's

27:59

power. In

28:01

accord with everything, yet

28:04

superior to all. Similar

28:12

to everything, yet

28:14

dissimilar to all. Let

28:20

it reside in yourself straight

28:23

away. This

28:46

precious human body, with

28:49

its freedoms and endowments,

28:52

is like a phantom house. For

28:58

a while it is there, but

29:01

the time of collapse is uncertain.

29:06

It will not linger, you

29:09

must part with it. Remember

29:15

this again and again, straight

29:18

away. All

29:43

beings are transients, like

29:46

past and future guests. The

29:52

old have gone, the

29:55

young will also go. This

30:02

generation won't even last a hundred

30:04

years. The

30:33

presence of this life is

30:36

like a single day. The

30:41

presence of the Bardo is

30:43

like tonight's dream. The

30:48

presence of rebirth will come

30:51

as quickly as tomorrow. Deal

30:57

with life's real meaning straight

31:01

away. When

31:30

all that is important has

31:32

been illustrated by appropriate

31:34

examples, to

31:38

those who have firm faith, my

31:41

exhortation is this. What

31:46

has come together will have to

31:48

separate. Hence,

31:53

I shall not tarry, but

31:55

will proceed to the island of

31:58

deliverance. Since

32:12

no reliance can be found on

32:14

the phenomena of samsara, let

32:18

me sit down firmly on

32:20

Dhammata's unborn throne. The

32:50

apparent phenomena of this world are

32:53

like a trickster. Since

32:57

they turn the mind from virtue and

33:01

cause the crowd of emotions to

33:03

increase, send

33:05

them far away and

33:08

practice what is

33:10

wholesome. Without

33:27

contentment, even

33:30

wealth is poverty. The

33:34

avaricious mind enjoys no

33:37

satisfaction. Contentment

33:44

itself is the greatest

33:46

wealth. Even

33:50

a little fills the

33:52

mind with happiness. and

34:30

lovers are the source

34:32

of emotional turmoil. Dismiss

34:37

such thoughts which cause wantingness,

34:41

clinging and attachment. Set

34:49

out to emulate the sages and

34:52

contemplate in mountain solitudes the

34:56

value of peacefulness. You

35:23

with mind focused on virtue

35:26

day and night renounce

35:29

wrongdoings and adopt

35:31

what is beneficial as

35:34

the Buddha has advised. Unswervingly

35:39

practice what is wholesome.

35:43

Then you need not worry about death, for

35:47

things will develop as they

35:49

should. These

36:27

words are spoken from the

36:29

heart. For your

36:31

sole benefit, give

36:34

up the distractions and diversions of this

36:36

life, which are

36:38

provided by country, property,

36:41

friends and relatives,

36:45

and cultivate meditation in

36:48

quiet places. When

37:04

nothing prevails anymore and

37:07

the time has come to pass on, you

37:10

need the Dharma to be fearless of

37:13

death. Familiarise

37:18

yourself with

37:21

the profound, quintessence of

37:23

the Guru's instruction. Take

37:27

endeavour to realise it straight

37:29

away. Take

37:48

the Dharma which virtuous people

37:50

transmit by

37:52

possessing the immortality-giving essence,

37:56

Dharma to the profound truth.

38:01

Experience its unique meaning through

38:04

the power of your endeavor and

38:07

quickly reach the citadel of

38:10

the victorious ones. Straight

38:24

away bliss supreme

38:26

is realized and

38:30

even at a later time benefit

38:32

the crew. Strive

38:37

from now on for the quintessence

38:39

of Dharma with

38:41

its vast qualities both

38:43

seen and unseen.

39:14

The stars, attendance

39:17

of the full moon in a

39:19

cloudless sky have assembled. The

39:24

Lord of stars himself is

39:27

about to arise. The

39:37

lotus face of the Lord of compassion

39:41

is made even more beautiful by

39:44

the host of duckers and dakinis

39:48

with their canopies, umbrellas,

39:52

royal standards and

39:56

courtly music. Gently

40:01

he breathes on me, intimating

40:05

my acceptance. The

40:33

time has come to go. Like

40:37

a traveller, I must be

40:39

on my way. My

40:44

joy in dying has

40:46

been well-earned. It

40:51

is greater than all the wealth in the

40:54

ocean a merchant may have won. Or

40:59

the godlike power of having conquered

41:02

armies. Or

41:06

the bliss found in meditation.

41:26

So I wait no longer,

41:31

but go to sit firmly on my seat.

41:34

In the bliss supreme that

41:37

knows no death. This

42:00

life is finished. Karma

42:04

is exhausted. What

42:08

supplication could achieve has ended.

42:19

Worldliness is done with. This

42:23

life show is over. Having

42:32

realised in one moment

42:35

the very nature of self-manifestation

42:40

through the vast realms in the Bardo, I

42:44

am close to taking up my seat at

42:47

the beginning of all and

42:50

everything. Now

43:01

that the connection with this life has lost its karmic power, do

43:04

not lament about this beggar who died happily and unattached. But

43:13

constantly pray that we be together in spirit. We

43:18

are all in the same place. We

43:21

are all in the same place. We

43:24

are all in the same place. We

43:27

are all in the same place. We

43:30

are all in the same place. These

43:48

words spoken for your

43:50

benefit are

43:52

like a multitude of lotus flowers

43:56

flattening the be like faithful

43:58

followers. Through

44:07

the good of these words, may

44:10

the beings of the three worlds go

44:13

to the place of the origin of

44:15

all and everything.

44:20

Transcendence. Transcendence.

45:00

Transcendence. Transcendence.

46:00

Thank you.
