THE UNION OF THE SOLAR AND LUNAR TANTRA

deep zen insight.

at The Zen Buddhism religion and spirituality online library

 

 

 

Unborn,

Yet continuing without interruption,

Neither coming nor going, omnipresent,

Supreme Dharma,

Immutable space, beyond definition,

Spontaneously self-liberating,

Perfectly unobstructed state,

Existing from the very beginning,

Self-created, without location,

With nothing negative to reject,

And nothing positive to accept,

Infinite expanse, penetrating everywhere,

Immense and limitless, boundless,

With nothing even to dissolve

Or be liberated from.

Present beyond Space and Time,

Existing from the very beginning,

Immense dimension of inner space,

Radiant clarity like the sun and moon,

Self-perfected,

Indestructible as a Vajra,

Stable as a mountain,

Pure as a lotus,

Strong as a lion,

Incomparable bliss

Beyond all limits;

Illumination,

Equanimity,

Peak of the Dharma,

Light of the universe,

Perfect since the very beginning.

 

(from THE UNION OF THE SOLAR AND LUNAR TANTRA,

translated by Namkhai Norbu and John Shane)
