Padmasambhava’s Ten Key Points

 

Padmasambhava’s Ten Key Points

Master Padmasambhava said, “When practicing the Dharma you must possess ten key points.”

You must possess the key point of faith free from fluctuation, like a river.

You must possess the key point of compassion free from enmity, like the sun.

You must possess the key point of generosity free from prejudice, like a spring of drinking water.

You must possess the key point of Samaya, free from flaws, like a crystal ball.

You must possess the key point of view free from partiality, like space.

You must possess the key point of meditation free from being clarified or obscured, like the sky at down.

You must possess the key point of conduct free from adopting or avoiding, like dogs or pigs.

You must possess the key point of fruition free from abandonment or attainment, like arriving at an island of precious gold.

You must yearn for the Dharma like a starving person yearning for food.

In any case it seems that people only avoid practicing the Dharma as the main point, taking instead wealth as their focus. Your cannot bring your wealth along at the time of death, so make sure not to go to lower realms.

Padmasambhava’s Ten Foundations of Training

You must liberate your being through learning, becoming adept in all aspects of Dharma, like a noble steed freed from its chains.
