Droplets of Nectar: A Vajra Song Summarizing the Vital Points of the Stages of the Profound Path
Our October text of the month is Droplets of Nectar: A Vajra Song Summarizing the Vital Points of the Stages of the Profound Path.
Despite its brevity, this lamrim text is remarkably comprehensive. Droplets of Nectar focuses on the practitioner’s gradual progression along the spiritual path. It begins with the four thoughts that turn the mind to the Dharma and proceeds through the preliminaries of refuge, bodhicitta, accumulating merit, and removing obstacles. The song then moves through the stages of Tantra, from Mahāyoga and Anuyoga to the Great Perfection of Atiyoga, all presented in relation to the Lotus-Born Guru. In the end, the gradual path opens into the immediacy of realization through union with Guru Rinpoche.
