A Song on the View, Called “Recognizing My Mother”
A Song on the View was sung by the Gelug master Janggya Rolpé Dorje (1717–86) upon attaining the first bhūmi. He not only alludes to his own profound insight in a beautifully poetic way, but blends it with down-to-earth instructions, spiced with an acute sense of irony. He cuts through the lofty dharma verbiage of all Tibetan Buddhist schools, including his own Gelugpa tradition, and gets to the heart of the matter—making the union of dependent origination and emptiness a living experience in one’s own mind.
These talks are based on Rolpé Dorje’s song together with a commentary by the great Dzogchen master, Ju Mipham Rinpoche. This teaching clarifies our understanding of the union of dependent origination and emptiness, and provides profound advice on using this understanding to work with samsaric suffering. Karl’s translation of A Song on the View together with the commentary by Mipham Rinpoche appears in his book Straight from the Heart.

Ein Lied über die Sichtweise mit dem Titel “Meine Mutter erkennenˮ
Ein Lied über die Sichtweise wurde von dem Gelug-Meister Janggya Rolpé Dorje (1717–1786) gesungen, als er die erste Bhūmi-Stufe erlangte. In poetisch schöner Sprache deutet er nicht nur auf seine eigene tiefe Erkenntnis hin, sondern verbindet sie mit alltagstauglichen Anleitungen, gewürzt mit einem feinen Sinn für Ironie. Er durchschneidet das hochtrabende Dharma-Vokabular aller tibetisch-buddhistischen Schulen – einschließlich seiner eigenen Gelugpa-Tradition – und dringt zum Kern der Sache vor: die Vereinigung von abhängiger Entstehung und Leerheit zu einer lebendigen Erfahrung im eigenen Geist zu machen.
Diese Vorträge basieren auf Rolpé Dorjes Lied in Verbindung mit einem Kommentar des großen Dzogchen-Meisters Ju Mipham Rinpoche. Diese Unterweisung klärt unser Verständnis der Einheit von abhängiger Entstehung und Leerheit und gibt tiefgründige Hinweise, wie man dieses Verständnis nutzen kann, um mit samsarischem Leiden zu arbeiten. Karls Übersetzung von Ein Lied über die Sichtweise zusammen mit Miphams Kommentar ist in seinem Buch Straight from the Heart erschienen
