A Word of Advice if You Meditate

~ Lama Gendun Rinpoche

Leave this mind of yours
in its natural state where there is nothing artificial.
In this state, seeing a thought move,
rest on it, relaxed.
In this state, stability will come.
No attachment to stability
no fear of movement,
aware that there is no difference
between stability and movement,
mind arising from mind.
In this state, where there is no grasping, no attachment,
rest natural and relaxed.
In this state, natural reality itself,
the essence of your own mind,
primordial awareness, empty clarity
will arise… and you won't know what to say.
In this state you will settle, suspended and relaxed.
Without grasping at the stability as something,
naturally in place, naturally free ;
without seizing on or rejecting the mind's productions,
please settle… THERE.

Tendrel 3, January 1983
