In a secluded place where dakinis like gathering
Just as you like, you stay alone and think of Dharma.
Warrior, strong and brave, you've cut right through ego,
With great devotion in my heart, I prostrate to you.

Into mind, unborn, leaps immortality,
And all signs of birth and death are free in their ground.
This certainty in view makes my mind happy,
And if you'd like such happiness, Dampa, please do the same.

Into non-meditation leaps non-distraction,
All signs of equipoise and post-meditation are free.
Being sure about meditation makes my mind happy,
And if you'd like such happiness, Dampa, please do the same.

From conduct that's effortless, leaps unceasing activity,
And all signs of hypocrisy are free in their ground.
Conduct's certainty makes my mind happy,
And if you'd like such happiness, Dampa, please do the same.

From empowerment not bestowed leaps non-attainment,
And all signs of the deity are free in their ground.
Being sure about empowerment makes my mind happy,
And if you'd like such happiness, Dampa, please do the same.

From samaya that isn't kept leaps the immaculate,
All signs of keeping samaya vows are free in their ground.
Samaya's certainty makes my mind happy,
And if you'd like such happiness, Dampa, please do the same.

From not hoping for results leaps perfect fearlessness,
And all signs of hope and fear are free in their ground.
Fruition's certainty makes my mind happy,
And if you'd like such happiness, Dampa, please do the same.
