Tell me, how can I behold the beautiful face of Vajrayogini? Is she perhaps my “original face before I was born?” The one I am coming home to?
What did you say? Oh! Vajrayogini’s (my) own face is not a face at all?! No! It is this state of vivid, clear awareness, a union of seeing/not seeing, being/not being. It’s not a face at all. It’s every sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, thought, feeling, emotion – with no preference, taking me directly to Shantideva’s City of Joy - this home that is right here, where I have always been that expands vastly to include the entire universe – bodhicitta!
How alluring, courageous, fierce, compassionate, wild, and yes, frightening (dakini-like) this can be. This revealing of my true face which is, indeed, not a face at all.
beautifully described !! ahhhh
