Commentary: Conclusion
From the great ocean of the explanatory tantras: "Vajra
Daka is taken by the ship of Lama Tsongkhapa's advice. This
golden Dharma, the cittamani or heart method, is kept in the
hearts of the lineage lamas of these days. It is like a sunbeam
that dispels the darkness of sentient beings and like the
flowing water of the river Ganga (which in one way means that
actual water, and in another way means the water of the transcendental
wisdom of non-dual bliss and voidness which washes away the
stains of degenerated samayas), and like the wind which destroys
the clouds of disease and spirit harms which interfere to
practise Dharma. Therefore, it is fortunate to receive this
water of advice, which goes into the heart pool when sprinkled
by the wisdom of the kusa grass." Kusa grass has the
power to protect you from pollutions, and helps you to sleep
and dream clearly if you sleep on it. It's used in initiations.
"This water of advice, sprinkled with intelligence and
wisdom cools the transmigratory beings tormented by the suffering
of ignorance, and makes them quickly achieve the three kayas
of the victorious ones (which means the Buddhas)."
This commentary on Dorje Khadro is called "a sunbeam
which dispels the darkness of negative karma and obscurations."
It is written by Dharmabhadra, who is in the form of a monk
and living in the cave of Ngulchu, his past life's cave.
So please dedicate the merits of explaining and listening
to the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa, to the generation of
bodhicitta, the door of all happiness, in the minds of all
sentient beings. And may whatever bodhicitta that has already
been generated, never decline but only increase.
May I and all the rest of the sentient beings never be separated
from the pure path, and may Lama Tsongkhapa be our friend
in all future lives. May we be able to live in pure conduct
and may the sangha of all directions, particularly the FPMT
sangha, be able to continuously practise and achieve all realisations.
I received this commentary from the incomparably kind guru,
Lama Thubten Yeshe. Then later, with some Westerners, I received
it from H.H. the Dalai Lama. Having the opportunity to practise
this is by their kindness. Please dedicate all the merits
to their undying life, ceaseless guidance and so that we,
the disciples, are able to perfectly please them in every
single action forever.
