                                                         RENUNCIATION

(Tsoknyi Rinpoche requested that this poem be read aloud to participants at the Crestone September 2008 month-long retreat.)

Thus having united the meaning of the diamond words of the past saints, I have written this as my own prayer. ~ Dudjom Rinpoche (Jigdral Yeshe Dorje)

Sole unfailing and unchanging Refuge, Lord of the Mandala

Most precious and kind Root Guru, hold me with compassion

When I squander the freedoms and endowments

Ignoring death, providing only for this life.

This fleeting human life like a dream

It it’s happy that is alright, if it’s unhappy, that’s alright.

Without concern for happiness or sorrow

May I constantly practice the Supreme Teaching.
