Becoming Lyrics

The After Death World

The reminder

The clear setting face to face

When seeking rebirth

The Sidpa Bardo

Is a thought form hallucination in the Intermediate State

Happiness and misery will depend upon karma

For them of evil karma who because of the influence thereof

Become stricken with fear and terror

One will have a body just like the body of flesh and blood

The former human

Wherever thou art to be born

A vision of the place will appear to thee

Follow not the visions which appear

Through weakness

Thou wilt have to wander amidst the Six Lokas and suffer pain

Thou must allow thy mind to rest undistractedly in the nothing to do

Void state of thine intellect

A fixed period is not assured

Persons of much evil karma

Apparitional illusions

And hallucinations of many people

And sounds as of mountains crumbling down

and of angry overflowing seas and of the roaring of fire

In an unbearable intensity

Wandering about

Incapable of dying

In reality there are no such things existing outside oneself

Act so as to recognize this

Voidness cannot injure voidness

The qualityless cannot injure the qualityless

Thy present intellect in the Intermediate State

Continuously in motion

Whatever thought occur to thee now

Will wield great power

Think not in thy mind of impious things

That is thine own illusion

Abandon all dotings and hankerings
