BIG VAST OPEN MIND

The power of bhakti is a swift path for those who are able to harness this energy in their spiritual awakening. The power of love, the power of the heart, can unlock an incredible force within us which cuts through all our conceptual thoughts.

THE SONG OF THE VAJRA

As indestructible as the Vajra, As stable as the mountain, As pure as the lotus, Strong as a lion, Incomparable bliss, Beyond all limits; Illumination, Equanimity, Peak of the Dharma, Light of the Universe, Perfect since the very beginning.
