Princess Gomdevi

"The realization of the Collection of Precious Gemstones, the spontaneous meditation song about non-arising, was sung in these words by Princess Gomdevi at the Hermitage of Conquerors during the latter half of night.


HUNG
The mind of all the buddhas is the letter A.
The nature of this A is timeless, insubstantial.

This A, the source of all sugatas and the twofold truths
Also takes the form of what appears and what exists.

The substance of this A is timeless, the awakened mind.
By seeing its unchanging presence, beyond parting, I awakened.

In this awakened space transcending words and thoughts,
Awakened mind is nonarising like this A.

Stay composed and undistracted, uncontrived-
Realization I have found is simply this.

The stallion of wakeful knowing
Now gallops the plains of dharmata.
KAPALA KAMAPASHA A HOH"
