Translation of a sentence from The Tibetan Book Of The Dead

Post by Egon01 »

Blessings,

I am keen to find an English translation of the sentence "iti % samaya % rgya rgya rgya %"

It is the very last sentence of Verse {128} from this source:
http://www.tashi-verlag.de/bardo/unicod ... nicode.htm

If you can't help directly you may know someone who could?

Many, many thanks in advance,
Martin :meditate:

That is a very traditional ending to a terma....it means, roughly, "Commitment-sealed-sealed-sealed."
དམ་པའི་དོན་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ཆེ་བ་དང་།
རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།


"Absolute Truth is not an object of analytical discourse or great discriminating wisdom,
It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."
- (Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche, from his summary of "The Ocean of Definitive Meaning")
