In his ambience

Somehow it was true when I was with Düd’jom Rinpoche. There seemed to be a version of ‘me’ who seemed to rest in the natural state when with Düd’jom Rinpoche. It was as if I rested in his ambience – whenever I was with him.

The imaginary illness

Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche said, “Sentient beings see Buddhas as sentient beings – but Buddhas see sentient beings as Buddhas. This disparity causes Buddhas great irritation – and that irritation is known as compassion or pure appropriateness.”  The Lama gives us skilful remedies for the imaginary illness of dualistic derangement in order that we discover for ourselves that our illness is imaginary.
