Thank goodness for Impermanence!

At least one knows that the depressive mood too will leave.

Fall is in the air - daughters are studying under much duress and son is a lump of (very cute) clay.
And I have not had my first job yet.

phew

From Shamarpa

Before we begin to meditate, we should understand something about the qualities of mind, what the mind actually is. The mind is not a thing – it is not a material substance, a fixed object. It is comprised of the nature of knowing. It has this capacity. The mind is simply a succession of moments of consciousness, moments of awareness or moments of knowing. In essence, the mind is without obstructi

on, it is vast, it is unlimited. The mind is not an entity that exists as such and that lasts for a certain length of time. As the mind enters into relationship with objects, there arise a series of ever-changing instances of perception; therefore, the mind is not one continuous thing – it is impermanent. ~ Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche (Shamarpa)

Shangpa Rinpoche

The daily routines have started.
Luckily for us - we got a visit from Shangpa Rinpoche at our Center (see www.ktg.nu).
This is what he posted on Facebook, and I think it does say it all:

Shangpa Rinpoche:

རབ་ཏུ་བཅིངས་པའི་དངོས་འཛིན་འཆིང་ཐག་འདི།

The tangled ropes of truly grasping,

བདེན་མེད་སྒྱུ་མར་ཤེས་པའི་རལ་གྲི་ཡིས།

The sword of realisation of illusory non-existence,

དྲུང་ནས་བཅད་སྟེ་སྟོང་དང་རྟེན་འབྱུང་གིས།

Cutting the roots with emptiness and interdependency,

མི་གནས་མྱང་འདས་རྒྱལ་སར་རབ་བགྲོད་ཤོག

One attains the great city of enlightenment without remaining in samsara and nirvana.

We are bound by ropes of existence and grasping. Using the sword of wisdom to cut through these illusions, we gain the freedom of emptiness and interdependency and enter into a place beyond the reaches of samsara and nirvana.
