Expressing my personal experience in example with meanings in the Mu Zam in Terdrom.
Namo Gurubhya
All the kind, fatherly, Kagyu Gurus,
Ornament the crown of this beggars head without separation!
Hold me, the son who supplicates, with loving compassion,
Decrease the appearance of the phenomenon of our savage minds!
For I, the indolent beggar Ratna,
The time has come to reduce these never ending activities .
From inside the shape of empty all-pervading space,
Comes masses of storm clouds.
These don’t abide for even an instant, as they did before.
While thinking this, understand it to be a symbol of impermanence.
Thinking of this example, the time has come to practice for the moment of death.
Not only is it time, but it may be a little too late.
This continuously flowing river of the Lung Tsang,
Is the teacher of the times of the seasons of summer and winter.
It doesn’t stay for a moment but quickly descends.
Understand this thought to be a symbol of impermanence.
Thinking of this example, the time has come to practice for the moment of death,
Not only is it time, but it may be a little too late.
Although while a young child you are haughty with the pride of having a youthful body,
At the time of death, when there is great sudden illness,
You have no power to stay even for an instant.
Understand this thought to be a symbol of impermanence.
Thinking of this example, the time has come to practice for the moment of death,
Not only is it time, but it may be a little too late.
For this illusory body which was nurtured by your kind parents,
There is no assurance at all as to its destined lifespan.
Since it is never known when the condition of the lord death will come,
Understand this thought to be a symbol of impermanence.
Thinking of this example, the time has come to practice for the moment of death,
Not only is it time, but it may be a little too late.
This is not only a reminder but think from the depth of your heart!
Oh hey! On the other hand, I the beggar Ratna met authentic gurus in person.
Apart from the practice of mahamudra dharma, there is no need to seek a place of refuge elsewhere.
As to the meaning of this- may there be deep certainty in the mind!
I am the beggar yogi for whom all necessities are found within.
I don’t even see the name of the habitual tendencies of the ground of delusion.
Although I searched for the three internal obscurations and affliction emotions, they were not found.
There is no need for wishful aspiration prayers for the result of the three kayas.
Just knowing this one thing there is great ease!
As to the meaning of this- may there be deep certainty in the mind!
I am the beggar yogi for whom all necessities are complete within.
My view of the ground has cast away clinging to objects of the mind.
My path of meditation transcends having formal meditation sessions and post meditation time.
Within the spontaneously arising conduct which is free of accomplishing a result,
There is the self-arisen ground, free of activity or effort.
As to the meaning of this- may there be deep certainty in the mind!
I am the beggar yogi who has abandoned activities.
The meaning of samsara and nirvana shine forth as the magical manifestations of rigpa.
The ground is vast equality and self radiance within the expanse of cognition.
The path is without effort and is within a state free of affirmation or denial.
The result in which the actor and that acted upon are inseparable in the ground.
By the meaning of this, the true “fatherland” is gained!
I am the beggar yogi for whom samsara and nirvana are utterly complete.
These are examples of my personal experience, although of scant melody.
My friends entreated me with melodious words and so this was composed,
While staying in retreat at a cave in the abode of Terdrom.
By this virtue, may the three realms realize the meaning!
Although this is not well arranged and some parts are mixed together,
They are whatever I, the beggar, remembered of the arising of my experience.
It will not disturb the hearts of those learned and accomplished,
And may surpass the Panditas.
Thus, this was composed in the great abode of Terdrom in the year of the female sheep.
