Instructions for Palkhyim Arme Urgyen

These are instructions to aid the recollection
Of my faithful disciple who wants liberation.

Now, later, in between, and in all situations;
While walking, standing, lying, and sitting—in all activities—
Imagine above your head whomever you want to,
Such as your root guru, the protector Amitabha,
Avalokita, or Guru Padma.

Pray with devotion and yearning without a moment’s lapse.
Offer without reservation your body, possessions, wealth,
Retinue, spouse, children, and the four continents.
Repeatedly gather the accumulations.

Amrita streams from your guru’s body,
Purifying wrongs and veils.
Light rays from his five places dissolve into you.
Think that this purifies the veils of the three gates and their unity.

Your guru melts into light and dissolves into you.
In the indivisibility of your mind and your guru
Rest without a care but with self-recognition.
Don’t adopt stillness and reject movement,
Seeing one as good and the other as bad.
Apply yourself repeatedly to mere self-recognition.
Such meditation is the ultimate practice. Keep it in mind!

As requested by Arme Urgyen,
