Devotion is letting go of the importance we place on the stresses of life, and embracing total responsibility. It is release from the bondage of neurosis into identification with honour. Devotion has the deliciously ambiguous, inexpressible quality of Vajrayana itself. It is emptiness and form. It is allowing oneself to dissolve into emptiness in relation to the Lama and arising in the form of the Lama’s pure view. It is freedom from the bondage of referentiality.
