eighteen kinds of yogic joy
(in praise of Yolmo Gangra, a song on wakening the heart.
also called 'the Trulkhor Song)
i bow at the feet of the genuine guru
because of merit gathered i've met this lord
the guru with his prophecy is what has brought me here
my comfortable castle this wooden mountain range
this is a meadowland so beautiful in bloom
the trees are dancing in the midst of all the trees
this is a place of play, where the monkeys and the langurs play
a place where birds speak in bird-like tongues
a land of flying bees on gentle wings
where day runs into night and rainbow paintings shine
summer runs into winter a light drizzle falls
autumn runs into springtime the mist comes rolling in
in a solitary place like this, i the yogi Milarepa
am feeling very clear light well meditating on emptiness mind
when I get a lot of stuff coming up i feel extremely well
when the highs roll into lows feels even better still
feels so good to be a human being without the karmic deeds
when confusion gets complicated i feel extremely well
fearsome visions getting worse and worse feels even better still
kleshas, birth and death and freedom from those is a good way to feel
with the bullies getting worse and worse i feel extremely well
when there's not a painful illness in sight feels even better still
the suffering being bliss feels so good that feeling bad feels good
since the trulkhor comes from what i am it feels extremely good
to leap and run about is dance feels even better still
to be a king of speech with a treasury of song feels good
that the words are like the buzzing of bees feels extremely good
that the sound it makes is merit collecting feels even better still
this bliss is good in the expanse of the confidence of strength of mind
what develops on its own by its own force feels extremely good
what comes out looking like a hodgepodge feels even better still
this happy experience song by a yogi carefree
is for you who believe in what you're doing here
to take along with you when you go
