A Song of Realization: The Fivefold Mahamudra

Homage to the glorious Phakmo Drupa!


If on the steed of love and compassion, you arent first
Across the finishing line of helping others,
The crowd of humans and gods wont celebrate,
So apply yourself wholeheartedly to this preliminary.






If your own body, the kingly deity-form,
Does not reign on the throne of the unchanging ground,
The court of mother dakinis will not gather,
So apply yourself wholeheartedly to seeing your body as yidam.






If the sun of devotion does not shine
On the snow mountain of the gurus four kayas,
The stream of blessings will not flow,
So apply yourself wholeheartedly to developing devotion.

If in the expansive sky of the mind-essence
The clouds of thoughts do not disperse,
The stars of the two wisdoms wont shine bright,
So apply yourself wholeheartedly to nonconceptuality.






If you do not polish the wish-fulfilling jewel
Of the two accumulations with your aspirations,
It wont give the results you need and want,
So apply yourself wholeheartedly to making dedications.






This was composed by Kyobpa himself.
