Mindful Presencing in this New Year

• Last month I was in Nepal at my dear lama
  friends mountaintop monastery, Druk Amitabha
  Gompa, overlooking the Kathmandu Valley. His
  Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa was giving a series
  of teachings interspersed with special prayers
  and pujas, chants and rituals, dedicated for
  various purposes. I was seated near HH onstage in
  a small row of red-robed lamas, when suddenly
  amidst it all, the pomp and circumstance, the
  deep beats of the giant drum, the Tibetan long
  horns, the rattle of hand rums and the cacophony
  of 800 people chanting together I realized that
  if I only released my resistance all of it! I
  was totally aligned and one with Him and the
  Buddha, and all and everything. This sorta Taoist
  realization of Dzogchen non-doing and effortless
  spontaneity lasted just a several timeless,
  breath stopping, globe-halting, earth shattering
  seconds, but it made me a servant for life.

Lama Surya Das

• I understood, felt and intuitively grokked right
  then and there that there was and is no
  separation between God and soul and man (me,
  you), and that Buddha, guru-lama and meditation
  practitioner/yogi are one continuum of ineffable
  luminous energy-flow and presence-immediacy. All
  I had to do was let go into it that is, let go
  of and release my dichotomous subject-object
  fixation and self-centered mental perceptual
  frameworkand relax back into, instead of
  congealed out of, the flux and flow of it all
  (all and everything) and natural primordial
  oneness would be realized, recognized and
  attained.

• I would be congruent with truth and divinity, one
  with the flow, the great Tao and my ultimate
  higher/inner power. I was the master and the
  masters Buddha-mind, and the prayers and the
  music too. I was the entire assembly, the sangha,
  and the sangha circle of all beings too.
• All I have to do is align myself with that, and
  flow in the flow as the flow and by doing
  nothing, nothing is left undone. Being aligned
  with the masters and the divine, in the flow, the
  better angels of ones higher true-nature surge
  forth and altruistic compassion in action
  naturally follows, as needed, inexhaustibly.
• I invite you to consider experimenting with doing
  the same in this new year, through focused
  introspective awareness and the practice of
  mindful presencing.
