In This Pure Awareness
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.

In This Pure Awareness
by Khenpo Shenga
In this pure awareness without basis or origin,
How tiresome it seems to practise dos and don'ts!
In this present awareness in which whatever arises is freed by itself,
How tedious it seems to cling to notions of defilement and antidote!
In this spontaneous, naturally present meditation,
How exhausting it seems to cultivate mental fixation!
In this state of great bliss that is primordial and innate,
How misguided it seems to rely upon a physical consort!
In this natural, spontaneous perfection of the three doors,
How distracting it seems to contemplate artificial maṇḍalas!
I spoke these verses to myself.
