The Sources of Power

There’s a whole lot of power in my view
Free from extremes, beyond concepts
There’s a whole lot of power right here in the heart
Of what’s been pure from the very start

There’s a whole lot of power in my meditation
Undistracted and reference-free
A whole lot of power is what I find
In the great clear light, the great clear light

There’s a whole lot of power when I act
Because whatever happens, I’m relaxed
There’s a whole lot of power flowing easily
When actions are natural, relaxed and free

There’s a whole lot of power in the result
Of pure reality recognizing itself
There’s a whole lot of power in the fruit
Of this great variety being naturally free

There’s a whole lot of power in my samaya
I’ve precisely followed the lama’s commands
There’s a whole lot of power because nothing is wrong
No vows have been broken, no harm has been done

There’s a whole lot of power in my practice
Because whatever happens, I adapt to it
There’s a whole lot of power, because in the end
All appearances are my friends
I say, all appearances are my friends!
