“The cross-eyed fool sees one lamp as two; The vision and the viewer are one”
– Saraha (8th Century CE)
From “Saraha’s Dohakosa: The Royal Song” (translated by Keith Dowman)
Saraha is known as the chief of the Indian Mahasiddhas or “Great Accomplishers”, a prominent master of the Great Seal (Skt. Mahamudra) teachings, and a former incarnation of the Karmapa.
