Logic through poetry

It struck me then—as it did so many times—that Vajrayana was ART.  Künzang Dorje Rinpoche had just brought out logic through poetry – the poetry of Düd’jom Rinpoche’s name. He was Jig’drèl Yeshé Dorje too – the Fearless Primordial Thunderbolt of Wisdom.

Tantric sexuality

Tantric sexuality is a vast field of living knowledge in which coital union is infinitely modulated in terms of all the sense fields.
It voluptuates in: the soft silence of falling snow on bare branches; the succulent stickiness of budding twigs; the glorious unreserved unravelling of blossoms; and, the cool moist fire of autumnal foliage.  It is the art of the way in which the eye sees, and the poetry of the way in which the ear hears.  Eyesight penetrates visual phenomena, and is engulfed by the field of vision.  Hearing penetrates sound and is engulfed by the auditory dimension.  Every sense-perception and sense field performs, and is performed by, the same ecstatic dance.

The ground of experience and perception

 “Basically I see Vajrayana as the essential nature of being an artist. Vajrayana explores the sense-fields as the ground of experience and perception.”
“That sounds almost more like science than religion” commented Penelope – with evident interest.
“Yes...in some ways. Maybe...like science and psychology – expressed through poetry and understood though all the Arts.”
