Instruction on Great Perfection
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

An Instruction on the Great Perfection
by Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö
I prostrate at the feet of the noble guru!
Child, you who are a suitable vessel and take the Three Supreme Ones as refuge, listen!
Your faith and intelligence are supremely stable,
You have renunciation, and are disillusioned and compassionate.
For the likes of you, the qualities of the path
Will go on increasing like the waxing moon,
While I am busy royally devouring offerings,
And blessings and compassion only diminish.
Still, it is certain that the reflection of blessings
Will appear in the clear, mirror-like surface
Of the minds of fortunate disciples.
The mind is primordially pure, an empty expanse,
Complete with a spontaneously present, radiant clarity.
Looking into the very face of your own awareness,
You will be freed from the sullying defects of duality.
Meditate by settling naturally in unaltered experience.
And in spontaneous action be without hope and fear.
Whatever appears or arises will be naturally liberated, there and then.
These are instructions for the Great Perfection.
With these words, I, the one called Chökyi Lodrö,
Wrote whatever came spontaneously to mind.
I pray that this is no different from meeting me in person!
