If You Want to Establish the Dharma

   
Dudjom Rinpoche was often inspired through dreaming. He tells how Guru Rinpoche appeared to him once:

"I dreamed I was sitting in front of the shrine in a very large building that looked like a temple. Suddenly a young white man dressed in white with his hair falling loosely over his shoulder appeared at the entrance. He was playing the cymbals melodiously and dancing the swirling, joyous dance of the Ging. He came closer and closer, singing:



If you want to establish the dharma,
Establish it in your mind.
In the depth of mind, you will find Buddha.
If you wish to visit the buddha fields,
Purify ordinary deluded attachment.
The perfectly comfortable buddha field is close by.
Develop the joyful effort to practice,
That is the essence of the teaching.
Without practice, who can gain the siddhis?
It is hard to see one's faults,
But to see them nakedly is powerful advice.
In the end when faults have been cleared away,
The enlightened qualities increase and shine forth.
