The Poems and Songs of Drukpa Kunley say a lot about his philosophy of Life regarding Enlightenment

POEMS AND SONGS OF DRUKPA KUNLEY[EDIT]

Poem about happiness

I am happy that I am a free Yogi.
So I grow more and more into my inner happiness.
I can have sex with many women,
because I help them to go the path of enlightenment.
Outwardly I'm a fool
and inwardly I live with a clear spiritual system.
Outwardly, I enjoy wine, women and song.
And inwardly I work for the benefit of all beings.
Outwardly, I live for my pleasure
and inwardly I do everything in the right moment.
Outwardly I am a ragged beggar
and inwardly a blissful Buddha.

Song about the pleasure

A young woman finds pleasure in love.
A young man finds pleasure in sex.
An old man finds pleasure in his memoirs.
This is the doctrine of the three pleasures.

Who does not know the truth, is confused.
Those who have no goals, can not sacrifice.
Those who have no courage, can not be a Yogi.
This is the doctrine of the three missing things.

Even if a person knows the way of wisdom;
without practicing there is no realization.
Even if a master shows you the way,
you have to go it by yourself.

The five spiritual ways

I practice the path of self-discipline.
I meditate every day.

I go the way of embracing love.
I work as a mother and father of all beings.

I do the deity yoga.
I visualize myself as a Buddha in the cosmic unity.

I read the books of all religions
and practice all at the right moment.

The life is my teacher
and my inner wisdom is my guide.^[6]
