The Pith Instructions of Shri Singha

OM NAMO GURU — Homage to the Spiritual Preceptor.

How wonderful! I, Yeshe Ts'ogyäl, having asked the Lordly Spiritual Teacher for instruction, wrote it down in my own blood in Tibetan characters up on a sheet of Tibetan paper and placed it in a box which I then hid where two crags meet, awaiting the advent of a future son of good karma.

SAMAYA GYA — Sealed with commitment!


Shri Singha said to Guru Padmasambhava:

"This is a teaching like the extremely profound pith or heart–essence.

"This nature of the mind like space
Is always and ever an unbroken stream of radiant awareness.
Rejoicing in this freedom from being and non–being —
The seal of certainty and youthful freshness —
Study and examine it with application and joy to its very limits.
Request the four initiations in their elaborate, unelaborate,
Extremely unelaborate and absolutely unelaborate modes,
And apply the purification of the mental continuum and accumulation of merit, this being the very ground of training.
In this ground the resultant fruit will certainly ripen.

"May ultimate instructions such as these
Come into the hands of children of good karma."
