Lama Surya Das - Swooping Down from Above

Here is one of my favorite teachings from Lama Surya, a commentary on the Third Karmapa, Ranjung Dorje's " The Single Word of Heart-Advice." It is so crisp and to the point. Because this teaching might seem to be something to hold onto too strongly, it will be followed by an emphemeral poem paraphrasing a teaching from Rangjung Dorje's Dharma brother Longchenpa.
