Teachings on the Song of the Vajra
Merigar East June 16, 2009
By Chögyal Namkhai Norbu
So you see then, the Song of the Vajra is not only a prayer but is called natural sound. Natural sound means when Dharmakaya, which is beyond form and color, with its infinite potentialities manifests Sambogakaya manifestation. You remember how manifestations develop from emptiness, through sounds. For that reason that natural sound is also a natural mantra. Even though we do not have the capacity to be in that natural sound, we try to relax and we sound this natural sound to eliminate our potentiality of negative karma and particularly all obstacles that we couldn’t understand for discovering how our real nature is. So for that reason we sing the Song of the Vajra.
Some people say that when they do something, it is better to know what the meaning of it is. This means that if you know, you always apply it or think about it using your mental judgment. You don’t need to understand anything when you are doing practice of the Song of the Vajra. You remain in the non-duality of the space you are seeing and the space you are being. You are just this space, this space is just you, and you just remain a little this way, relaxed. This is called Namkha Arte. When you apply this practice more and more, later when you integrate, everything becomes easier.
