Alpha Purity[1]
by Sera Khandro
ཀ་དག་རིག་པ་བརྗོད་མེད། །
ཁ་དོག་མཚན་མ་ལས་འདས། །
ག་ལེར་རིགས་པས་དཔྱོད་དང༌། །
ང་བདག་རྩ་བ་ཆོད་འགྲོ།
ཧེ་ཧེ་ཧེ།
Alpha-pure, inexpressible awareness,
Beyond colour and characteristics—
Carefully analyze with intelligence.
Demolish the "I" or self at its source.[2]
Heh! Heh! Heh!
By the one named Sukha.
| Translated by Adam Pearcey, 2022.

These first four lines are in the form of an acrostic poem, the opening syllables of each line being the first four syllables of the Tibetan alphabet: ཀ་ (ka), ཁ་ (kha), ག་ (ga) and ང་ (nga). The translation aims to reproduce this effect, however unsatisfactorily, in abecedarian form. ↩
