Teacher's Advice


Realising this
emptiness and bliss

Tell me now then
what have you got to say ?

-

How can I help you ?

And you say ...

I can help you on the path
of accumulation

-

Ok this is what we'll do

But you must make an effort

-

When the mind becomes distracted

by sleep
excitement
or wandering

-

Tighten don't squeeze

-

Free will and power
is conferred on you

by virtue of your understanding
that no one can be free

and nothing is immutable

-

Other people are more
important than me

-

You thought you didn't dream
but you were mistaken

-

Why can't you
remember your dreams ?

When did you forget them ?

Who was dreaming anyway ?

-

If you feel disappointed
it might be just as well

to ask yourself
what did you expect

-

That's nice
just relax here
and take some rest

-

If you're always like this
then everyone will love you

practise daily
don't give up

-

This is a great opportunity

-

You are what you are
not what you take
yourself to be

-

Don't change your name
on new years day

it's up to you
why not ?

-

You are bound to be successful

-

You must see this before you go
it meant a lot to me

-

After a while you will be able
to help others in the same way

or perhaps you think
you won't be able to ?

then take stock
and count your blessings

-

You and everybody else
have the seed planted
deep within

and you have committed
yourself to practise many
many times in the past

and invited your past selves
many times in the future
to join you in this practice

and each time
has left its imprints

so take courage
and go on

-

Strengthen yourself
in preliminary training
by stressing the importance
of holding pure intention

-

Pay particular attention
to holding pure intention

take courage
and go on


Come Unto Me


HUM

out of clear blue sky

luminous divine

in a rainbow of five colours

come unto me

lovely jewelled messengers

in countless numbers

iridescent

also infinitely small

even dull and unseen

I invite you wisdom beings

to arrive

with perfect timing

blessing my three places

each in turn

and simultaneously

to make me pure

and drink from the nectar

in my heart


I am therefore I think


I am therefore I think

I think therefore I am not

------

All things are ...

conditioned impermanent and made of many parts

Where each part is in itself ...

conditioned impermanent and made of many parts

------

So where do I fit in  ... to all of this then ?

And what should I do ?

------

According to a saying
attributed to Laozi (Old Master)

If you are depressed you are living in the past
If you are anxious you are living in the future
If you are at peace you are living in the present

But I say this ...

Be anxious for the past
depressed about the future
and in the present
make eternal war
against the enemy
and strengthen
always in your heart
the will to keep fighting

------

See now what I become

How I have shamed myself

My craven selfishness is now become
an object of blame in this world

The foremost object of blame
and the subject of endless
remorseless regret

No one else
do I take to be
more to blame than myself

For this horrible existence

In which I lurch uncontrollably
from relish to despair

In one vile act after another

Without a moment's thought

For the harmful effect
my actions have on those around me

And the consequences
which will inevitably arise
in my own mental continuum

As a result
of what I do now

Causing me
great suffering
in the three times
past present and future

Wherever I may find myself to be
in all the ten directions

May I never lose sight of this sense
of abject failure and culpability

And may I never more become a slave
to the daughters of Mara appearing
in the aspect of the Rudra

------

What other dreadful
things do you
think you'll
find buried
long ago
which will
one day
come back
to haunt you ?

Can you remember
everything you did once
upon a time and could
you then or can you
even now know
for certain
what the
consequence
will be ?

Who can say ?

Who will be the judge
to make the final statement
and pronounce the verdict
and sentence on
the actions of
your past ?

------

Where shall we place the silver bowls ?

Seven set in line upon the altar
consecrated to your memory

They should be used to catch and collect
the tears of grieving mothers

Hungry ghosts and orphaned children
and offered to the spirits

Who would otherwise be shrieking and
torment us in the night

By rights expecting recompense
demanding payment for the
sins we have committed
and rejoiced in

Harming others and ourselves
every moment an atrocity

Perpetrated willfully
against our better nature

From our birth until our death

And on into the bardo
where peace cannot be found

We alone
must take the blame

And expect one day
to be judged by what we do

Cry to the Gurus


Wonderful
great bodhisattvas
of infinite wisdom
you with
immense muscular
strength whose lungs
can hold a single breath
for endless cycles
of samsaric suffering
and whose every
action exhibits
exquisite skill
and creativity
acquired through
dedicated practice
over many virtuous past lives
yes you who hate to sit
in idleness while those who
cry out to you for guidance
continue to fall into sin
and break their vows ...

Think of me
in this very instant
and bless me
continuously
in every conceivable situation
with your reassuring presence
in my heart
and promise you will
never leave me
and promise always
to be there

Give me your strength
and support
and a sense of purpose
when I feel I can't go on
encourage me
to try again

And let me always
be inspired
by your shining example
by the solemn noble vow
you made to serve
all beings
in all times
till each and every
one of them
comes to know you
as their friend
and attains enlightenment

The Bug Song


I’ve found a bug inside me

It’s programmed to explode


I hear the timer ticking

as I’m walking down the road


This bug is contagious

It’s crawling up your spine


And when it gets inside your head

it tells you that it’s mine


Now bugs are all around you

They’re swarming like flies


For every bug that bites the dust

another bug dies


There’s been an infestation

The bugs have gone to town


They’re chewing up the pavement

and knocking houses down


All they leave behind them

is litter on the streets


And on the mic the pitter patter

of their little feet


In every conversation

bugs are on the line


Recording information

of people place and time


The juice is in the tube

and it’s fluorescent green


There are bugs to make it dirty

and bugs to make it clean


If you think bugs are nasty

then try to treat them nice


Bad bugs will remember you

and follow your advice


Someone may have told you

bugs are really cool


But when you get to know them well

they tell you you’re a fool


To meet the bugs is easy

There’s no right or wrong


Make sure you enjoy yourself

and bugs will play along


In Bugworld there’s no teacher

Bugs don’t have to go to school


When bugs are in the classroom

they break the golden rule


Some bugs are getting older now

Some are still brand new


The good bugs fly away too soon

The rest get stuck on you


Bugs can be your friends

They like to tag along


But the bugs you really hate

are the ones that sing this song


Bugs come in all shapes and sizes

though most of them are small


There are fat ones thin ones short ones

and some bugs are quite tall


Down every pipe and cable

you’ll find bugs are there


They’re hoping that someone else

will tell them that they care


Someone should have warned you

Are you sure you haven’t heard ?


It’s been on the news today

It’s a bug alert


Bugs are in the basement

Bugs are in the hall


Bugs are in the carpet

and climbing up the wall


Bugs are in your trousers

Bugs are in your shirt


Bugs are in the boots you’re wearing

when you go to work


When you step out on the street

the little bugs start running


They’re frightened you might tread on

them if they don’t see you coming


Look left before you cross the road

Ten steps should be enough


If you want to catch a bug

then you can catch the bus


Bugs will take your ticket

Bugs will make you pay


Some bugs are really wicked

and they charge you by the day


Bugs like to have a laugh

They laugh at your expense


You can see them split their sides

sitting on the fence


The baby’s in the buggy

Mum takes it for a walk


You’d see the bugs are in the baby

if only it could talk


In the shops and supermarkets

see the bugs left on the shelf


Buy a bug for someone else

or buy one for yourself


In the off-licence and chemist

they’ve got bugs to sell


Bugs that make you sick

as well as bugs that make you well


Some bugs cause infection

They like to see you sneeze


You get a running nose

when bugs are blowing in the breeze


Like balls the bugs are bouncing

around in my head


There’s one right in the middle

Is it yellow blue or red ?


Bugs like to hang out upside down

That’s true without a doubt


Bugs are inside bugs are outside

Bugs are inside out


Their numbers are increasing

How many can you see ?


If you lose count then start again

Start with 123


Excuse me for asking

Does this bugging ever stop ?


Do bugs go on forever

or until they reach the top ?


The bug stops here that much is clear

You signed your name in ink


The bugs won’t be responsible

It says so in small print


When you want to find the answers

to the questions in your mind


tell us what’s been bugging you

Let’s see what we can find


What’s a bug and where’s a bug ?

What’s a bug to do ?


How and who’s the bug ?

And why’s he doing it to you ?


When you’re losing your temper

and they’ve really made you cross


They’ve been playing silly buggers

and you wish they’d bugger off


If they make you angry

If they make you mad


Remember bugs have feelings

sometimes happy sometimes sad


Look out for the bugs

bugs are free


Here’s a bug for you

and here’s a bug for me


When you tidy up your house

and you’re shaking out the rug


And you see the dog is scratching

Don’t blame it on the bugs


If they hear you cursing them

they’ll wait until you sleep


Then the bugs will take revenge

by tickling your feet


Even when you’re fast asleep

things aren’t as they seem


Bugs find the secret meanings

which are hidden in your dreams


Round and round the candle light

go bugs in crazy flight


The lucky bugs who don’t get burnt

escape into the night


Now it’s time for bed

I hope the bugs don’t bite


If they do then bite them back

Don’t give up the fight


If you try and try again

Then try once more as planned


You’re bound to be successful

Bugs will lend a hand


If at first you don’t succeed

Try looking for the bugs


Bugs sing love is all you need

All you need is love


Bugs are in the music

Bugs are on the beat


So get the bugs out on the floor

and let them move your feet


We’re on a wi-fi network

Your dreams are coming true


DBUG Productions

is coming live to you


Welcome to Bugworld

bugs are free


Having lots of fun with you

is our priority


Welcome to Bugworld

bugs are free


We can play the game

now in reality
