The Place of Liberating Awareness and Great Bliss — Rigdrol Dechen Ling
The view of unwavering, self-arising awareness is the foundation.
Meditating by letting the mind rest in its true nature, uncontrived and self-liberated, is the path.
Effortlessly expressing one's true nature is the blissful fruit.
May this precious place of happiness and benefit to self and others expand and increase.
(Written by Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche for his students in Whitehorse, Yukon, September 1984.)
