Many people believe that spiritual renunciation means forgetting about the world and everything we know. Renunciation of unskilful attitudes and behaviours is therefore a prerequisite for entry onto the spiritual path. In order to enter the spiritual path we need to renounce unskilful paths. The first verse of this vajragiti is concerned with renunciation. This is the all-pervading wisdom of Dharmadhatu.
#CONTENT WITH SIMPLY BEING. FULL#
The full 16-line vajragiti is presented first followed by a commentary on a verse by verse basis.
Accordingly, and in response to a number of requests we have received for further elucidation in relation to several of our own vajragitis, today’s post takes the form of a commentary upon the four-verse vajragiti called ‘ Simply Being with Nothing to Be’. Given that such transmissions are generally intended to be digested at the intuitive rather than the ‘academic’ level, their intended meaning may not always be apparent. Within certain Buddhist traditions, and as is the case with the vajragitis composed by ourselves, these songs often reflect the spontaneous expression of a person’s understanding or realization in relation to an aspect of the spiritual path. So the vajragiti is a form of ‘diamond song’ that can be used to transmit what are often very profound and essence tantric teachings. Vajragiti is a Sanskrit term that comprises the word vajra which means ‘indestructible’ or ‘diamond’ and the word ‘giti’ which means song. Included in the ‘Spiritual Songs and Poems’ section are what in Buddhist language are known as ‘vajragitis’. Over the course of the last six months or so, we have been gradually populating the ‘ Spiritual Songs and Poems’ section of this blog.
