The Six Vajra Verses (of Dzogchen)

July 23, 2008

The following version of The Six Vajra Verses is from Namkhai Norbu’s book, The Crystal and Way of Light:

‘Although apparent phenomena manifest as diversity —

yet this diversity is non-dual.

And of all the multiplicity

of individual things that exist,

none can be confined in a limited concept.

Staying free from the trap of any attempt

to say ‘it’s like this’, or ‘like that’,

it becomes clear that all manifested forms are

aspects of the infinite formless,

and, indivisible from it,

are self-perfected.

Seeing that everything is self-perfected

from the very beginning,

the disease of striving for any achievement

is surrendered,

and just remaining in the natural state

as it is,

the presence of non-dual contemplation

continuously spontaneously arises.”

The Kunda

by Michael Lohr

Derived from the Oriental Great Goddess Cunti, also known in ancient Indic Hinduism as the Yoni or (vulva) of the Universe. Other words coming from the same source are "cunabula" meaning a cradle or first abode. Also, "Cunina," who was a Roman Goddess who protected children in the cradle. The term "Cuntipotent, means one who possesses "all powerful cunt-magic," "cunicle" meaning a hole or passage and "cundy" meaning a culvert. Other translations also can mean cunning, kenning and ken, meaning knowledge, learning, insight, remembrance and wisdom.

Cunt is not a bad word, or a profane word. In fact, it is a holy word that has a direct correlation to the Divine Mother. It is sad that modern language uses this in a derogatory manner.

In ancient writings, the meaning of the word was synonymous with woman. Kunda Saharan is a North African Goddess of the Kuntahs, a tribe who it is said can trace their beginnings to "the cleft of the Goddess." Kundas were children begotten out of wedlock and were considered divine gifts of the Goddess Kunda.

From her name, Saharan comes the name Sahara. It has been found that she was worshipped in the "Sahara" region by local tribes when the plain was a grassland and not a desert. This time period is between 6,000 and 8,000 BCE.

Now, from a linguistic perspective, at least you know where that nasty little phrase of profanity originated from.

The Four Immeasurables are four qualities of awakened mind: lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. They are called "immeasurable" because they can be developed to an unlimited degree.

Yun Ming declared that those who practise Zen, but have no faith in Amitabha, go astray in nine cases out of ten; that those who do not practise Zen, but believe in Amitabha, are saved, one and all; that those who practise Zen, and have the faith in Amitabha, are like the tiger provided with wings; and that for those who have no faith in Amitabha, nor practise Zen, there exist the iron floor and the copper pillars in Hell.

Prayer to HH Dudjom Rinbochay

"Drubnye Drogben lotsai kuyi gar

Yingchuk Dechen Tsogyal sungi od

Gyalwang Pemai thugkyi gyutrul che

Jigdrel Yeshe Dorjer solwa deb

Gonkye khorwa jisi shendon du

Gangdul trulpai trinle kabyewar

Dagkyang denye khorgyi thogma ru

Kyene sangwa zinpai thiutob sho."

"Bodily display of the accomplished Drogbne Lotsawa,

Radiance of the speech of Tsogyal, Great Bliss Queen of Space,

Great magical wisdom mind emanation of the powerful conqueror Padmasambhava,

Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje, I pray to you:

Protector, wherever I for the sake of others,

Unofold the Nirmanakaya activity of caring for beings to be trained,

May I be born in your foremost retinue,

And be able to hold your secret abilities."

page 19, "The Lamp of Liberation", by Dudjom Rinbochay

Sarva mangalam! May all beings benefit!

Siddhi rastu! May there be accomplishment.
