An excerpt from a Tibetan translation by Sean Price of Lotsawa House.
“Short Ngöndro and Main Practice
༄༅། །ཐུན་མིན་སྔོན་འགྲོ་དངོས་གཞིའི་གནད་བསྡུས་བཞུགས།
A Key Summary of the Extraordinary Preliminaries and Main Practice
by Dudjom Rinpoche”
“…གསང་གསུམ་བྱིན་རླབས་དབང་བཞི་ཡོངས་རྫོགས་ཐོབ། །
sang sum jinlab wang zhi yongdzok tob
I receive the blessings of the three secrets and the four empowerments in full.
བླ་མ་རང་སེམས་དབྱེར་མེད་རྫོགས་པ་ཆེ། །
lama rangsem yermé dzogpa ché
The inseparability of the Guru and my mind is the Great Perfection;
བློ་བྲལ་རིག་སྟོང་རྗེན་པ་གདོད་མའི་གཤིས། །
lodral riktong jenpa dömé shi
Beyond conceptual thought, naked awareness-emptiness is the primordial condition…”

"An Egyptian Pot Seller at Gizeh" by Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (1819–1881). I guess I like all kinds of Orientalist paintings, and this is another good example.
