The teachings of the incorporeal Vajradakini
I prostrate before the Jñāna-dakīni!
You [are] in the dreaded graveyard where the wild sounds of phaṭ phaṭ phaṭ resound! The devouring dakini that blazes in the darkness like the rising moon! Saying “hūṁ hūṁ,” you terrify the gatherings of pishacha, the living dead, and mamo! I bow before the body of the queen of great bliss, the ruler of the secret mantra and the secret treasury!
How marvelous!
You are like the lotus, the jewel and the river. Like the lion, the elephant and the deer. Like the sun, fire and crystal.
How marvelous!
Due to comprehending the possessors of destiny, then there is no separation between one's own nature, dharma space, and perfect purity. The space of great bliss! Vajra queen, source of phenomena and immeasurable palace of purity! Like the little child that is intoxicated with pishacha, like the clouds and lightning in the sky, the jackals, the living dead, the ocean, the earth.
How marvelous!
Those who possess destiny realize the practice! Constantly rest in the balance of the Victorious Ones! [Abide in] the nature of the great clear light! Because there is no interruption of the flow throughout the three times, the three bodies of the Enlightened One [appear] as one's own nature! The inseparability of self and others [appears] as essence, inseparability from the glorious things that appear spontaneously, freedom from embellishments!
How marvelous! Samaya!
How marvelous!
Naked, receiving the kingdom of the continent! Noble with a minister and a nostril-turning supreme horse! [Thou possessest] a servant and a great path! Through comprehension the fortunate [adhere to] heartfelt commitment! [You] appear as the protector of the holy Great Bliss, the self-existent and unborn Enlightened One!
How marvelous!
Adhere to the seal of the mood of ripening and liberation! Due to the ultimate meaning of the external, internal, and secret, [the] seal of thoughts by virtue of [delusion] is [shown]. Thus the knot as the net of thoughts is destroyed at the level of self-liberation in the nature of mind. Immerse oneself in the purity of the absence of one's own nature.
The heart's commitment is looking at the mirror of one's own mind. The syllables a and haṁ, the saṁta channel in the mirror of the natural radiance of the nature of the mind lead to completion in the form of the fruit of devotion. Because of this, all external contaminations of false thoughts and cyclic existence [appear] as original purity, the flow of the foundation of all things. When there is purity in secluded realization, one looks only at the stream of realization without manifestation. The sun of comprehension of the substances of the vows is free from the embellishments of one's own mind, [being] Great Bliss. Comprehend everything as the enismatic vajra of nondivinity, channels, prana, and bodhichitta. This is the supreme sanctity of substances. The varied manifestations that are like the external ones [appear as] the sun, the only Sun of comprehension. In its clarity there are no veils and the waters of conduct are cut by the sword [of realization]. In these manifestations, whatever they appear, [appears] the nature without action. On the basis of it [is shown] the yoga that destroys by action. So how can a sword mark something in the water? It is like movement without a mark. The sword, which cannot harm, acts without imprint in the equanimity of adornment, ascesis, bhusuku. Realization, through the actions of the mind, is seen as the great seal, Mahamudra, self-liberation. One's own mind is the Mahamudra of non-divinity. Self-liberation is liberation in the purity of mind. The seal is the original wisdom of emptiness.
Seal is freedom from the seal of cyclic existence. The great one is oneness. Essence, one's own nature and characteristics are seen as uncontaminated Great Bliss.
How marvelous!
Glorious Vajradakini! The sounds of mercy [that manifest] from the purity of emptiness are like the echoes in the rocks of the sounds from the purity of emptiness of space! Being inseparable, they become perfect in the Great Bliss. This lotus of the mind of the fortunate, appears as the Sun of primordial wisdom. Through it, the power of self-liberation appears and the closed face is revealed!
Thou, splendor of purity, possessing the mind! When you remove the darkness of the ignorance of bhota in the monastery of Bulahari, manifest encompassing radiance with the radiance of original wisdom!
Thus the great Lord of Lotho said to Naropa.
I prostrate before the glorious Chaksamvara!
You rotate the chakra, which corresponds to the channels and prana. The channels abide in the body. They are avadhuti, lalana and rasana. And although they [are] separately, are in the four chakras. Their connection, what is called the net, possesses the all-embracing acts of wind-prana. The names of the ten lords of the five [chakras], being the nonduality of prana and mind, incomprehensibly revolve in the chakra. When one contemplates the light of the original wisdom of realization, realization, the king of mind, flashes forth as nonduality, the light of the original wisdom of spontaneous realization. Having eliminated the darkness of ignorance, everything is encompassed by the manifestations of original wisdom, free from contamination. Look with equal taste at the mirror of the external. Equal taste in the four elements, equal taste in consciousness and samadhi. Such an experience [appears as] the four aspects of bliss and clarity. The mirror that has no birth is obscured by the dust of memories. If there are no memories, the experiences of realization [mark] the external. In the pure mirror of the mind, the nonduality of manifestation is seen. When one looks in this way, by virtue of the manifestation of the power of thoughts [external impurities are] manifested. Adhere to the preciousness of the sayings of the Great Bliss. The holy teachers speak of the great blisses, self-consciousness and clarity. On the basis of the bliss of the body that has impurities, [is shown] inseparability and one flavor with the absence of impurities.
The indivisibility of the supreme mystery is the finding of the countenance of nectar-amrita. This heart is the goal of self and others, which is like a jewel. The holy fortunate one should keep that which so appears.
Lord of the yogis, the great interpreter has bestowed this upon me as known as the 'mountain of jewelry'. These vajra stanzas of the body-less heart of the secret mantra were bestowed upon me by Naropa as profound oral instructions. On earth, when the last five hundred years appear, the lotus mind of the possessing vessel [of instructions will appear as] your disciple from the Land of Snows. This disciple will attain everything on the basis of the teacher's utterances entitled “Translated for Disciples.” May the fruits of Samvara be spread among the creatures!
Thus concludes the “Teachings of the glorious incorporeal Vajradakini”.
Translated by Lama Karma Paljor (O.E. Filippov).
