Quotations: Tantra
འོན་ཀྱང་གློ་བུར་དྲི་མས་བསྒྲིབས། །
All beings are buddhas
But this is concealed by adventitious stains.
When their stains are purified, their buddhahood is revealed.
གསང་ཆེན་ངེས་པའི་བཀའ་འདི་ལ། །
If you do not recount the history
Of the supremely secret definitive teachings,
People may not trust their authenticity.
ཐབས་མང་དཀའ་བ་མེད་པ་དང༌། །
དབང་པོ་རྣོན་པོའི་དབང་བྱས་པས། །
It has the same goal but is free from all confusion,
It is rich in methods and without difficulties.
It is for those with sharp faculties.
The mantra vehicle is especially sublime.
- The Torch of the Three Methods (Wyl. tshul gsum sgron me)
འདུན་པའི་རྩེ་ལ་རབ་ཏུ་གནས། །
གང་གིས་སྨོན་ལམ་ཅི་བཏབ་པ། །
Everything is circumstantial
And depends entirely on one’s aspiration.
Whatever prayers of aspiration people make
They will gain results accordingly.[1]
- Teaching on the Qualities of Mañjuśrī’s Pure Land
ཤིན་ཏུ་བསམ་པ་བཟང་དང་ལྡན་པས་ཉོན། །
བརྗེད་ངས་བློ་ལ་རྡོ་རྗེ་སེམས་དཔའ་སོགས། །
Gather together all your thoughts in the proper way,
And listen with an exceptionally pure motivation.
A forgetful mind will receive no blessings
From Vajrasattva and the other buddhas of the three times.
