The Progressive Stages of
Meditation on Emptiness V

Middle-Way Autonomist:
View & Meditation

View
Like a dream, an illusion, an echo, or a mirage,
Since they are beyond having a nature that is one or many,
All phenomena are great emptiness. like space.
When certainty in this becomes stable, this is the view.
 
Meditation
Within this great space-like emptiness,
Break down all other reference points
And focus again and again on mere space-like emptiness.
Finally, rest free of apprehending emptiness.

 At the Dzogchen Palace of Appearance-Emptiness, Sherab Lodro [Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche] spoke this extemporaneously, whereupon Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche immediately wrote it down.

 

Translated under the direction of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche by Tyler Dewar of the Nitartha Translation Network, 2002.

 

Know this life to be like a dream.
See the mind’s unborn nature.
Aspire to be of benefit to others.

– Khenchen Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
