Heart instructions of the great 14c Dzogchen master Longchenpa on Encouragement.

   
Six considerations will provide encouragement:

The yogic practice of holy masters is their legacy to you;
please do not be indolent or dilatory in your spiritual practice.

Meditation on the arising of thoughts provides fuel for your sublime knowing;
please do not consider concentration on some fixed point to be the best way.

Suffering and other negative conditions are inducements to undertake positive action;
please neither indulge in whining and moaning, nor try to rid yourself of negative circumstances.

The manifestation of the five emotional poisons in the secret path to timeless awareness;
please do not think of them as wrong, as you would a horde of enemies.

Obstacles in all their variety are intimations of spiritual attainment;
please do not react to them with apprehension, superstition, or aversion.

What you perceive as samsara is the pure realm of the victorious ones;
please do not place your trust in the seeming truth of your confused dualistic perceptions.
