Tantra Quotations

My Title

Buddha

sems can rnams ni sangs rgyas nyid/ /

'on kyang glo bur drin mas bsgribs/ /

dri ma de bsal sangs rgyas dngos/ /

All beings are buddhas

But this is concealed by adventitious stains.

When their stains are purified, their buddhahood is revealed.

Hevajra Tantra

 

lo rgyus don gyis ma bshad na/ /

gsang chen nges pa'i bka' 'di la/ /

yid mi ches pa'i skyon du 'gyur/ /

If you do not recount the history

Of the supremely secret definitive teachings,

People may not trust their authenticity.

Tantra of the Union of the Sun and Moon

 

don gcig na yang ma rmongs dang/ /

thabs mang dka' ba med pa dang/ /

dbang po rnon po'i dbang byas pas/ /

sngags kyi theg pa khyad par 'phags/ /

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

'dun pa'i rtse la rab tu gnas/ /

de 'dra'i 'bras bu thob par 'gyur/ /

Everything is circumstantial

And depends entirely on one’s aspiration.

Whatever prayers of aspiration people make

They will gain results accordingly.

Teaching on the Qualities of Mañjuśrī’s Pure Land

shin tu bsam pa bzang dang ldan pas nyon/ /

brjed ngas blo la rdo rje sems dpa' sogs/ /

dus gsum rgyal ba rnams kyis byin mi rlobs/ /

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.
