rungpa Rinpoche’s Sadhana of Mahamudra
1. Remember impermanence
2.Good and bad, happy and sad
All thoughts vanish into emptiness like
The imprint of a bird in the sky.
[This is a teaching from Trungpa Rinpoche’s Sadhana of Mahamudra.]
The third quote is from Shen Fu & I think it’s kind of a “common knowledge” principle of Chinese garden design : borrow the view from afar.
