The elements are the symphonic texture of vajra-romance. They are also the cacophony of neurotic attachment. The cacophony however, only exists in terms of duality, because from the point of view of the infinite purity of the phenomenal world – symphony and cacophony are undivided, and it is this fact which makes vajra-romance an immense opportunity. Even within our confusion we partake of the realised state.
Nondual reality sparkles through every aspect of our being and the Khandro Pawo Nyi-da Mélong Gyüd is a key to direct knowledge of this state. For the khandro and pawo each point in time is a pivotal point – a point at which the elements can be allowed to become ballet, or a point at which form-attachment cripples any nuance of movement.

Tralam-mé in ordinary terms pertains to anything that happens in the sky –
weather conditions, precipitation, rainbows, the Aurora Borealis, asteroids,
meteor showers, seeing the stars in the sky, the moon in the sky, visions in
the sky, whatever happens in the sky.
In terms of Dzogchen long-dé tralam-mé is used in the context of vajra
romance – and thus we translate the term as poetic turbulence. Poetic
turbulence is the romantic energetic which is sparked by the capacity for
realisation in two individuals.
Tralam-mé does not exist simply as an interface between male-female
romantic couples; it exists between everyone and everything everywhere.
Tralam-mé affects how people relate with each other. We call it poetic
turbulence as an emptiness and form coinage. Tralam-mé
is the manner in which people accidentally rhyme with each other – the
manner in which they fall in love.
Tralam-mé allows you to experience the non-dual sparkling through
in respect of your partner.
