On Returning to the Home of the Father Guru
Homage to my Father Guru
Chokyi Gyatso Dorje Dradul
The Crazy Wisdom Holder
of the three times
The conqueror of samsara
and nirvana
When I was young
you bestowed
on this aging yogin
the blessing
to see the truth
that there is no distinction
between samsara and nirvana,
but because of karma
I have been floating in the sea of duality
looking here and there-
and missing the essential points
of view meditation and action.
Now
having wandered so long
through your great blessing
I have finally returned to
the nest of the Father Guru.
Joy, so long absent
has returned,
and being welcomed by
my vajra brothers and sisters
I can finally can rest in the family
into which I was born.
Father Guru
there are no words
to praise and thank you
except to follow your example
May all beings dwell in the great simplicity which transcends knowing and not knowing
Your son rejoices in the kindness of the Father Guru!
