This is an argument which occurred one time between Wisdom and her opponent, whose
name was The Tendency to Think that Things are Real. It all started when Wisdom was
identifying what the word “Mahamudra” meant, at three different stages in a person’s
life: in the way things normally are for them; in the way they are as this person practices
the spiritual path; and as they are when the person reaches the fruit of their practice.
We are about halfway through this epic poem by His Holiness the First Panchen Lama, Lobsang
Chukyi Gyeltsen (1567-1662):
The lives of people—
my friend

People eat, people sleep,
They go, and stay,
And all the rest.

They move their body
An inch;
They reach out,
They pull back—
They say a single word,
They sing a single song;
They look with their eyes,
And live in distraction,
And all the rest of it.

They have their desire,
They have their hatred,
They have their dark ignorance.
All of the 84,000 different types
Of negative emotions,
And everything else
With jealousy,
And refusing to share,
Deceiving people,
Cheating others—
All of it comes
From causes & conditions
Close at hand.

In front of us we see
Starting, and stopping;
Things that exist
From one moment
To the next.
And each and every
One of them
Exists through its
Separate labels.

They all depend
Upon something else;
All of them are born
From causes & conditions—
They all come about
Through a process
Of mutual reliance;
And every single
One of them

Is a companion to me.
Friends who help each other

,NGA YANG DE RNAMS KUN GYI GROGS,

,NGED RNAMS GCIG GROGS GCIG GIS BYED,
I too am a friend
To each and every one;
If they could never be,
Neither then could I.
Neither could they be
If I myself never were.
We are mutual friends,
Each who defines the other.

If one of us is there,
Then both of us can be;
If one of us goes missing,
Then both of us go missing.

You cannot fly
With a single wing;
You cannot walk
On a single leg.

,DES NA GCIG DRIN GCIG LA CHE,

,BDEN PAR ‘DZIN PA’I NYES PAS LAN,
And so we can say
That each one of us
Is of greater kindness
Than the other.
But you,
You must remain there
Alone, and lonely.
You have none of them
To be with you—
And it’s all because
You believe that things
Are real.
Appearance, friend to emptiness

,SNANG BA BDEN GRUB MTHA’ DE DANG,
,SNANG BA GTAN MED MTHA’ GNYIS SEL,
The appearance of things
Is the fact
That things arise in dependence;
The appearance of things
Draws a line
To stop things being real;
The appearance of things
Banishes the two extremes
Where nothing exists at all;
The appearance of things
Proves that nothing is real;
The appearance of things
Destroys the extreme
That anything is real;
The appearance of things
Banishes the two extremes
Where nothing exists at all.

,YOD PA’I PHYIR NA [f. 255a] MED MTHA’ SEL,
And it surely is the case
That we can banish
The extreme which says
That nothing exists at all;
7
The Devil’s Loneliness
from The Devil Debates and Angel
Mexico City, July 2025
The appearance of things,
Which says that nothing
Can ever be real
Is something that appears
With what is empty,
With everything
That can be anything;
As such,
It banishes
The idea that nothing exists.
Most intimate friends

,RGYU MTSAN ‘DI DAG PHYIR NA NI,
,SNANG LAS STONG PA SKYES PA ‘DRA,
,STONG LAS SNANG BA SKYES PA ‘DRA,
,GROGS SU GYUR PA AA CANG CHE,
For all the reasons
That we’ve named here,
Emptiness arises
All the same from
The appearance of things;
And the appearance of things
Arises all the same
From emptiness.
Ah, can’t you see
What intimate friends they are?

,GCIG LA GCIG DRIN CHE BA ‘DI,
,DRIN DU BSAMS NA CHE CHUNG MED,
,SRANG LA BCAL NA YANG LCI MED,
The appearance of things
And emptiness
Are twins of equal kindness;
Each one pays more kindness
To the other than the first.
If you think of how much
Kindness they show,
You cannot say
That one is more,
And one the less.
If you put each
On a separate dish
Of the scale,
It would balance out
Perfectly.
Emptiness makes compassion great

Once we see
The tiniest start
To the birth of that thing
We refer to as
Great Compassion,
In the very same moment
That compassion is born,
So is its emptiness;
It’s almost as if
They are competing
To see which one
Can take birth first.
[350]
,SNYING RJE STONG PAR RTOGS TZAM LAS,
,DE LAS SNYING RJE CHEN PO DE,
,PHAN TSUN ‘GRAN NAS SKYES PA ‘DRA,
As soon as we realize
That compassion is empty,
Then it’s almost as if
Great Compassion
Competes to raise its head.

10
The Devil’s Loneliness
from The Devil Debates and Angel
Mexico City, July 2025
The fact that compassion
Is empty,
And compassion itself,
Are a tandem pair,
Cause & effect
Like a horse and the tick
Attached to its skin.
Cause and effect,
One must admit,
Have a certain order;
But it’s no easy thing
To say which is the cause,
And which is the result,
And which of them comes first.

,KHYOD LA CHOS KUN MED PA YIN,
All the things there are
Follow this same pattern;
O You Who Think
That Things Are Themselves,
With you there can never be
In the slightest any such
Understanding of things;
11
The Devil’s Loneliness
from The Devil Debates and Angel
Mexico City, July 2025
And thus, with you,
Nothing can exist at all.

,KHYOD NI GCIG PU PHO RENG PO,

You alone
Decided to stay single;
You live by yourself,
You get by on your own.
You are the solid one
Who stands alone—
You rely on no one,
You never depend.

,YOD PAR RGYAL BAS GSUNGS PA MED,
You are the one
Who stays forever,
You are the one
Who never changes.
Your dark ignorance
Stands darkest among
All the ignorant ones;
12
The Devil’s Loneliness
from The Devil Debates and Angel
Mexico City, July 2025
Your ignorance
Is matchless,
Your ignorance
Is supreme;
There is no ignorance
Greater than your own.
There is no ignorance
In all the three different
Realms of sentient existence
That the Victors have ever
Described as being bigger.
Refusing life, and death
[354]

,DE YI RGYU MTSAN ‘DI LTA STE,
,SKYE BZHIN DU YANG SKYE BA MED,
, [f. 255b] RGA BZHIN DU YANG RGA BA MED,
You are the blind one,
With the sightless eyes—
And the reason is that
You refuse rebirth
Even as you are born;
You refuse getting old
Even as you age.

[355]
,NA BZHIN DU YANG NA BA MED,

,’GAG BZHIN DU YANG ‘GAG PA MED,
You refuse the fact
Of illness,
Even as you are sick;
You refuse the fact
Of death,
Even as you are dying;
You refuse the end of things,
Even as you come to your end.
