I like Tilopa's story very much and his interacting with a dhakini, or female Buddha. Not alot of our history as it is told gives credit to the female side, so I'm glad this is a story that does.

The six words of advice:

1. Don’t recall - Let go of what has passed
2. Don’t imagine - Let go of what may come
3. Don’t think -Let go of what is happening now
4. Don’t examine - Don’t try to figure anything out
5. Don’t control - Don’t try to make anything happen
6. Rest -Relax, right now, and rest

Thanks for the quote Scatter
