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:


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.
