LA SEPARAZIONE DAI 4 ATTACCAMENTI (LE 4 AFFERMAZIONI DEI SAKYA) Jetsun Trakpa Gyaltsen Se hai attaccamento per questa vita non sei un praticante di Dharma. Se hai attaccamento per l'esistenza ciclica non possiedi la rinuncia. Se hai attaccamento al tuo scopo personale non possiedi la mente dell'illuminazione. Se l'afferrarsi sorge, non possiedi la visione. The Separation From The Four Attachments The Root Text by Jetsun Trakpa Gyaltsen At the time when the great Lama Sakyapa [1092-1158], twelve years of age, was performing the six month meditation and recitation of Arya Manjughosha; at one time actually saw, in the middle of a mass of light, above a jewelled throne, the Lord Manjushri, orange, with the 'Dharma Teaching' mudra, seated in a pleasant manner; with a retinue of bodhisattvas standing on the right and left. The Lord said; "With attachment to this life - there is no Dharma practitioner; Attachment to samsara - no renunciation; Attachment to self-purpose - no Enlightenment Thought; If grasping arises - there is no view." Having been said; he thought - obtaining a special discernment of all dharmas, analyzing the meaning, the united 'Mind Training' of the four attachments and the separation are the entire practice of the 'Path of Perfection.'
