Om Amarani Jevan Teye Soha by Ani Choying Dolma
The essence of realization is nowness,
Occurring all at once, with nothing to add or subtract.
Self-liberation, innate great bliss,
Free from hope or fear is the fruition.
~Marpa, from his song of realization and experience

Nawang Khechog - Freedom
Nawang Khechog (also known as Nawang Khechong) is a Tibetan flute player and composer.
Nawang was born in Tibet, but following the Chinese invasion of 1949/1950, his family moved to India, where Nawang studied meditation and Buddhist philosophy. He spent eleven years as a monk, including four years as a hermit meditating in the Himalayan foothills under the guidance of the Dalai Lama.
A self taught musician, Nawang’s expression springs from his emotions and his life experience traveling the world as a Tibetan nomad.

We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When we understand this, we see that we are nothing. And being nothing, we are everything. That is all.
