Indian Musical Instruments (3): Surbahar

Dzogchen Verse (2)

Here is the essential meaning of resolution in openness :

coming from nowhere, abiding nowhere, and going nowhere,

external events, unoriginated visions in empty space, are ineffable;

internal events, arising and released simultaneously,

like a bird's flight-path in the sky, are inscrutable.

Imaged in the existential ground, without substance,

our experience cannot be articulated;

it all occurs autonomously, timelessly,

without linear sequence.

( Longchenpa, Treasury of Natural Perfection )
