| Summary: | Completely pure by nature, like space -- Not eternal, not annihilated -- Not apparent, not empty -- Not real, not unreal, not nonarising -- Not beyond mind -- Not nonbeing -- Those false horns of a rabbit -- Innate from the beginning, not to be sought elsewhere -- Empty throughout all time and always selfless -- The play of Mahamudra, the original dharmata -- onnected with the sublime guru -- Since one is free from all attachment -- Thoughts arise in the mind like a stream -- Rest in the undistracted state -- Though it seems a particle is in the eye -- Just as a good horse is encouraged -- Giving up nothing, accomplishing nothing -- Give up attachment and aversion -- Think on the great benefit of migrating beings -- Difference is liberated in its own state -- Since realism is destroyed in its own state -- Who realizes selflessness? -- Nothing exists in peaceful and pure space.

Virupa is one of the eighty-four mahasiddhas, the Indian masters who practiced meditation according to the Vajrayana or tantric Buddhist path and achieved high levels of realization. The teachings in this book on the Mahasiddha Virupa's mystical songs were conducted over the course of several years by Khenpo Lama Migmar at the Sakya Institute in Cambridge, MA. The classes were then transcribed and adapted to book form"-- |
