The Song of the Wild Asses: The Many are of One Taste
Hey listen up, Rechungpa!
On this untamed red mountain range
This is no place for wild asses
Then that whole flock just appeared instantly
That was unborn, one-taste dharmadhatu
Unimpededly appearing to be many
Then you saw one ass become a big wolf
And chase the other asses from the range
When you know the true nature of one klesha
You’ve got a remedy that works on everything
You can chase away all the other kleshas
And cross the pass of subject-object duality
This is how Milarepa’s emanations
Gave a teaching to Rechung Dorje Drakpa
Pointing out to him reality’s true nature
They pointed out the essence of reality
