Lama Tharchin Rinpoche on translation: Sentient beings become buddhas only by practice based on the teachings of the Buddha. Buddhist texts are considered relics of the dharmakaya because they create a connection between Buddha and sentient beings. Through words, the inexpressible meaning of the dharmakaya of Buddha’s wisdom mind in expressed in order for sentient beings to understand. Then through practice, sentient beings can attain fully enlightened buddhahood.

 

Quotations

 

I, Yeshe Tsogyal, am the sovereign of cyclic existence and its transcendence.
If you recognize me, I live in the minds of all beings;
I emanate as the natural elements and sense-fields;
And I emanate further through the twelve links of dependent origination.
Though primordially we are not separate,
Not recognizing me, you experience me externally.

His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, one of Tibet's greatest twentieth century masters, received a treasury of teachings directly from Yeshe Tsogyal known as The Dakini Heart Essence (Khandro Thuk Thik). It has been translated by Jnanasukha and is the basis of our path of awakening.

The nectar-light of your blessings
Has opened wide the petals of my mind,
And profound explanations, the pollen of smiling anthers,
Have ripened for the enjoyment of fortunate bees.
His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, A Jewel Necklace, Index to the Volume Profound Path of the Dakini Heart Essence, Collected Works, vol. 16, pg. 1
