I consider myself a student...still reading and trying to integrate the teachings of wise sages into my pitiful life....these words/thoughts of Longchenpa radiate the wisdom that attracts my mind....trying to comprehend this Reality we call "life"......
Way of Abiding ~ Longchenpa
Understand all aspects of awareness to be free of ordinary consciousness, which involves concepts of identity.
Similarly, bring this understanding to the point of understanding that all phenomena are unceasing.
Bring the understanding of what is unceasing to the point of understanding that it manifests in any way whatsoever.
Bring the understanding of what manifests in any way whatsoever to the point of understanding that it is unborn.
Bring the understanding what is unborn to the point of understanding that it does not come and go.
Bring the understanding of what does not come and go to the point of understanding that it is nondual.
Bring the understanding of what is nondual to the point of understanding that it is absolutely free of limitations.
Similarly, bring this understanding to the point of not
conceptualizing or thinking about any phenomenon in any way.
Bring this understanding of all phenomena to the point of experiencing their essence lucidly and without distraction.

THE TRUE MAN
What is meant by a "true man"?
The true men of old were not afraid
When they stood alone in their views.
No great exploits. No plans.
If they failed, no sorrow.
No self-congratulations n success.
They scaled cliffs, never dizzy.
Plunged in water, never wet.
Walked through fire and were not burnt.
Thus their knowledge reached all the way
To Tao.
The true men of old
Slept without dreams,
Woke without worries.
Their food was plain.
They breathed deep.
True men breathe from their heels.
Others breathe with their gullets,
Half-strangled. In dispute
They heave up arguments
Like vomit.
Where the fountains of passion
Lie deep
The heavenly springs
Are soon dry.
The true men of old
Knew no lust for life,
No dread of death.
Their entrance was without gladness,
Their exit, yonder,
Without resistance.
Easy come, easy go.
They did not forget where from,
Nor ask where to,
Nor drive grimly forward
Fighting their way through life.
They took life as it came, gladly;
Took death as it came, without care;
And went away, yonder,
Yonder!
They had no mind to fight Tao.
They did not try, by their own contriving,
To help Tao along.
These are the ones we call true men.

If you know me – the majestic creativity within everything –
You will know and be at peace with the reality of everything else.
