    A Song to Introduce the Unmistaken View of the

    Great Perfection
    by Khenpo Gangshar
    Placing my head at the feet of the Dharma King, I offer homage: Bless me that I
    might see natural luminosity.
    Hey, you of great fortune!
    Sit without moving,
    like a tent peg driven into hard earth!
    Gaze with your eyes neither open nor closed,
    like the eyes of a deity in a fresco!
    And let your mind settle, loose and relaxed,
    like a woollen blanket spread out on the ground
    At times like these, while resting in the utter brilliance that is the space beyond
    thought, which may be likened to a cloudless sky, you will experience unimpeded
    translucence like a faultless crystal.
    This is none other than the view of the ultimate, the luminous Great Perfection.
    Resting in equipoise within the pure luminosity, vividly clear like the sky, dullness
    and agitation are naturally voided and do not arise anew a faultless, brilliantly
    clear non-conceptual meditation. When thought arises, be it good or bad, it is
    recognized for what it is and will not disturb. Focus upon this method and view your
    genuine nature; effortless, it arises by relaxing into the expanse, and thoughts are
    pacified on their own ground.
    When you are able to practice for longer periods, it can be like, for example, when
    muddy water is stirred up and then allowed to settle the innate lucidity of the
    water becomes clearer. Similarly, when myriad appearances arise and are realized to
    be like reflections, they cause the natural clarity of mind itself to become ever
    clearer. This in turn leads to the effortless arising of various qualities, such as the
    various types of clairvoyance and so on.
    Should even the Great Master of Oiyna appear before you, hed have nothing
    greater than this to say on the view of the Great Perfection.
    Should even Longchen Rabjam appear before you, hed have nothing greater to teach
    you on the practice of taking thought as the path.

    Should even the twenty-five exalted disciples appear before you, theyd have nothing
    greater to say concerning this practice.
    As for myself, a yogin, this is my practice, and I have no greater meditation
    instruction to offer you.
    You may analyze meticulously, but when a wind blows it naturally disperses the
    clouds and the sky can be seen. Endeavour to see empty clarity, mind itself, in the
    same way there is nothing greater than this understanding. If you dont stir up the
    silt, the water will remain clear; as such, dont analyze. Simply rest without
    contrivance and you will come to see the emptiness of mind itself. There is nothing
    greater to see than this!
    There are many views, but that of the emptiness of mind itself, devoid of all
    grasping, is the unmistaken view of the Great Perfection. When death comes to yogis
    of this method they are able to seize the clear light of death.
    Hearing about it is beneficial, but I pray the actual experience of clear light will
    become evident.
    Written by the old ignoramus, Gangshar Wangpo. May it prove meaningful!
