THE HUNDRED THOUSAND SONGS OF MILAREPA
At your feet I bow, oh Gracious One!
I am not a singer who wishes to display his art,
But you, specter, entreat me to sing and sing again.
Today I will sing to you of the Ultimate Truth.
Thunder, lightning, and the douds,
Arising as they do out of the sky,
Vanish and recede back into it.
The rainbow, fog, and mist,
Arising as they do from the fi~mament,
Vanish and recede back into it.
Honey, fruit, and crops grow out of the earth;
All vanish and recede back into it.
Flowers, leaves, and forests,
Arising as they do out of the earth,
Vanish and return back into it once more.
The ripple, tide, and flux,
Arising as they do from the great ocean,
Also vanish and into it return.
Habitual-thinking, dingings, and desires,
Arising as they do from the Alaya Consciousness,38
All vanish and return to the Alaya.
Self-awareness, self-illumination, and self-liberation,
Arising as they do from the Mind-Essence,
All vanish and dissolve back into the mind.
Non-arising, Non-extinction, and Non-description,
Arise from the Dharmata
And all return to it again.
Phantasms, hallucinations, and visions of demons,
All are produced from Yoga,
And all go back and vanish into it again.
Should one cling to the reality of visions,311
He would be confused in his meditation.
Challenge from a Wise Demoness
If he knew not that all obstacles
Reveal the Void, the manifestation of Mind,
He would be misled in his meditation.
The very root of all confusion
Also comes out of the mind.
He who realizes the nature of that mind,
Sees the great Illumination without coming
and going.
Observing the nature of all outer forms,
He realizes that they are but illusory visions
of mind.
He sees also the identity of the Void and Form.
Moreover, to meditate is an illusory thought;
Not to meditate is illusory, too.
It is the same whether or not you meditate.
Discrimination of "the two"40 is the
source of all wrong views.
From the ultimate viewpoint there is no
view whatsoever.
This is the nature41 of Mind.
The teaching of observation of
The Dharma-nature is illustrated through
the simile of space.
You, Draug Srin Mo, should look into the
meaning of beyond-thoughts;
You should enter the non-distracted realm
in meditation;
You should act naturally and spontaneously,
Ever conscious of the Essence.
Beyond words is the Accomplishment, free
from hope and fear.
I have no time to sing for fun, chatting with
empty words.
Oh, spirit! Think of the auspicious Dharma.
Ask little, do not raise so many questions;
But be relaxed and sit at ease!
I sing as you requested;
These are my mad words.42
If you can practice the
