Abu Ullo
Just a kid
Renounced
Defilement
Of a world
Confining
In small
Nor big
Homes
To be free
In universes
And planes’
Existence
Within
And out
Manifest
Reality
As it is
Just bare
Necessities
Auspicious
To benefit
Eventually
Awakened
Impartial
To what is
True here
Just a kid
Little monk

“Thö-gäl” — instantaneous arrival

From an enlightened vagabond དཔལ་སྤྲུལ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ

Patrul Rinpoche: “When you’re eminent, it’s bad. — When you’re reviled, it’s good. — When your position is lofty, vanity and envy flourish. — When your position is lowly, you’re at ease and your practice can flourish.”

In Tibet, to this day, many dedicated practitioners renounce not only worldly affairs but… renounce involvement in monastic affairs as well. They give up all involvements, not wanting to “renounce a small home only to get caught up in a big one.”

— Enlightened vagabond, the life and teachings of Patrul Rinpoche, Matthieu Ricard, pp. 9 & 225

Patrul advised Nyoshul Lungtok: “Study all philosophical systems without bias. Bias creates distorted understanding. When you study all teachings impartially, you will know what is true and what is not, you will know what is profound and what is not, you will know what accords with… wisdom… From then on, understanding will come through your own insight.”

Each sunset enables the sun to rise again

May you, we, and all be auspicious!
