SEVEN POINTS IN MIND TRAINING:
ATISHA'S VERSES IN WISDOM
Atisha (982-1054), a brilliant Bengali Buddhist scholar, who after his years of studies and a stint at Vikramasila University as a teacher, was asked to go to Tibet, to establish chronology in their Texts. He reformed the Monastic Order, brought in discipline and was a multi-faceted teacher. He also taught Buddhist Tantra (which had its roots and ramifications of Indian Tantra). The following is a gist of his teaching to his students:
Truth is an experience
And not a belief,
Train without prior assumptions (1)
Experience as many dimensions
As are available to you
You progress
Then country progresses (2)
Concentration is of the mind
Meditation is of Consciousness
Meditation is all inclusive
In Meditation
The observer becomes the observed
Disappear into the object of your meditation (3)
Money, power, respectability is transitory
Except awareness nothing is important
Compassion and love
Are intrinsic parts of awareness (4)
Move from thoughts to feelings
And from feelings to Being
Then the thoughts will be luminous
The heart has to be the master
The head the servant (5)
Don't vacillate
Mind is always: to be or not to be (6)
Train as though you are cut off
Watching the mind cuts you off
When you have watched the sun, moon and stars
The fields, the flowers, the birds
You are not the mind
You are Consciousness.
When you realize this you stand outside the mind ?
This leads to ecstasy.
Then you stand inside: in Entasy
Inside your consciousness, in Samadhi (7)
