Often, i end my HP Yoga™ classes with a sutra line from one of my Precious Tibetan Teachers, Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche:

“If  I die tonight, i will have no regrets…”

soon, i’ll expand on that during Part Two of my “Osama” Teaching…

if you wish to read the entire Prayer, see the bottom of this Teaching or go to the YOGA Cave in the WF SanghaLounge where it resides among the other 3,000+ Teachings of my Body of Work…

“If  I die tonight, i will have no regrets…”

see,  that’s the line that comes to me when i walk through my front door of my humble casa here in Durango and see my daughter’s (obviously wealthy) stash of shoes lined up as if soldiered; waiting, seemingly breathing to be worn again by Dewa’s constantly hopping, dancing, running 3 year-young feet.

However,  how do i make it okay to lose my daughter today and then die myself tonight “without regret”…

here’s how…

Death is a vast mystery, but there are two things we can say about it: It is absolutely certain that we will die, and it is uncertain when or how we will die. The only surety we have, then, is this uncertainty about the hour of our death, which we seize on as the excuse to postpone facing death directly. We are like children who cover their eyes in a game of hide and seek and think that no one can see them.

-Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

what doth ilg takes from that incredible shimmering Dharma gem?

it’s like everything else:

YOU TRAIN FOR IT!

if you are not an online student of WF;  you have yet to understand our tremendous Spiritual Lineage, our endlessly Compassionate and Providing Teachers, or our cell-shuddering Guru Thuds during our sincere sweat and stillnesses…

if you are NOT an WF Online Student;

what, i ask you, ARE you training for if not knowing how to surf the final filaments of consciousness after you are unable to take another inhale?

For WF Members Only:

Apply for WF Online Training before the end of May and – if accepted (only two will be) – you will sidestep the $395 Initiation Fee and receive a 1/2 hour Phone Consultation AT NO CHARGE!!!

HP Closing Prayer

From this Practice i have purified my karma.

From this Practice i have committed myself to selfless work for the benefit of others.

From this Practice i dedicate my accumulation of merit to others’ happiness.

Now, if i die tonight, i will have no regrets.

May our Practice tonight increase the benefit and purity of our actions,
and
May all beings, without exception, become free of suffering
and
come to know the unchanging bliss of Enlightenment.
