In this offering from Heart Teachings by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, following the death of his beloved young nephew, Kalsang Norbu, Rinpoche wrote this prayer of aspiration, The Ornament of the Wisdom Mind of Kuntuzangpo. The prayer illuminates the difference between how Kuntuzangpo, the original Buddha, perceives phenomena and how ordinary sentient beings perceive phenomena.

Ordinary beings’ dualistic perception of the inner mind and outer phenomena as separate is the root of confusion and the subsequent generation of karma and suffering. This is the nature of samsara. In Kuntuzangpo’s nondual wisdom mind, however, all inner and outer phenomena are the ornament of enlightened mind. Kuntuzangpo is actually the name of the essence of our original nature of mind, our primordially enlightened being. Within this original nature, the entire phenomenal world arises as Kuntuzangpo’s nondual wisdom display, the mind ornament of Kuntuzangpo.

Responding to the requests of students, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche established Heart Teachings in 2000 and began producing a monthly series of video Dharma teachings to support the practice of his many heart friends.
