An excerpt from a teaching called How Buddhism Differs from Other Religions by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

An emotionally difficult situation must be faced early in the day. Something at home, or an upset person must be dealt with. Be kind and compassionate. Later, an almost magical influence is present and it seems your wishes are coming true. They are. You are inspired, and you combine action with love and creativity, and [...]

In our divided
clinging consciousness
In our ego-centered
dreaming
we are bound.
Flung
Unaided, unable
to distinguish
The nature that is peace.
Drunken
Imagining distinction
in the nature that
is form and formless
Grieving
for we have seen
the difference
Between the crystal and the nectar
that fills it
with its emptiness
Oh..
If we could
only taste
the soundless voice
that sings its silent name
In colors
OM!
Vairocana Holy Holy
Bring the blessed kindest
Wisdom of the Dharmadhatu
To this singer’s song
Scream!
For [...]
How I wish there was something to say
To nuture the dreams we have today
To seek the path and find a way
To hold you close, to sway,
To music only we can hear- Sacrament of joy spoken to my ear- I love you;
I love you;
ah, my Dear What secret whisper brought you here!
I love you.
So very clear [...]
Good night, sweet dreams! May Dakinis hold your hearts and grant their BLISS! The Vajra KISS. Can you drink the poison too? I know YOU DO!
You might as well agree to this; That you would sell your soul for bliss. Even I can answer this; There is no soul, there is no goal.
Even Bliss is [...]
In a dream I remember that I forgot what I remembered
I knew that I knew it was a dream.
I know I can stand still, in full presence and awaken
How odd that our uncontrived Primordial Nature dances with SO MANY mirrors, all sizes and shapes.
Splendid and devastating!

Bright, shining
Star child
Tripping, dancing
In the light
Who are you?
I am
The lover; the beloved.
The father and the child.
The voice and the song.
The kingdom is mine!
Playfully, joyfully fathered by
All [...]

The last poem Palchen wrote:
Golden warmth
Crimson heart
Within my chalice
I lie wrapped in
Guru and consort
My home
Within my bodyhome
Impermanent
No ground but love

A poem by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
From the ordinary clay of samsara,
brilliant jewels of pure intention arise
Qualities are stable and virtuous,
as those things to be accepted or rejected are defined.
Slowly, with effort and renunciation,
the beautiful golden vase of wisdom and knowledge arises.
A teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
Try to believe in the Love….that the Love that exists is
Absolute. It never varies, it is unchanging. You did nothing
to deserve it and you cannot destroy it. It is your belief in the
Love, your acceptance of it, this changes from moment [...]
Arya Tara, Noble One
We bow down to your Lotus Feet
And beg you to remain enthroned
On the Lotus Throne within our hearts
We, your daughters and sons
Offer you the essence of whatever purity we may possess in the three times
Please accept the nectar of our pitiful practice
Please bless the potential of all our hopes and aspirations
And guide [...]
