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.)
