Ground, Path and Fruition

The base to be purified is mind itself, the union of luminosity emptiness
What purifies this, the great vajra yoga of mahamudra
And what is to be purified is all the stains of superficial confusion
The result of this, the state free of all stain, the dharmakaya, may this emerge directly


From the Mahamudra Aspiration Prayer, composed by Karmapa Rangjung Dorje
Translated and arranged by Jim Scott, Rigpe Dorje Institute, Pullahari, Nepal, 2007. Translation copyright 2012, Jim Scott

Know this life to be like a dream.
See the mind’s unborn nature.
Aspire to be of benefit to others.
