Following on from the dream this morning here is Naropa with his teacher Tilopa.

It seems that Naropa was involved in the concept of:

Mahāmudrā (Sanskrit: महामुद्रा, Tibetan: ཕྱག་ཆེན་, Wylie: phyag chen, THL: chag-chen, contraction of Tibetan: ཕྱག་རྒྱ་ཆེན་པོ་, Wylie: phyag rgya chen po, THL: chag-gya chen-po) literally means “great seal” or “great imprint” and refers to the fact that “all phenomena inevitably are stamped by the fact of wisdom and emptiness inseparable”. Mahāmudrā is a multivalent term of great importance in later Indian Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism which “also occurs occasionally in Hindu and East Asian Buddhist esotericism.”

 And that Naropa is known for his six yogas one of which is dream yoga.

The dream suggests that I might teach on things related to Naropa. At first pass I see some commonality of experience. The notion of void is inherent in his yoga and some crossover similarity might be possible.

This dream is the first dream in a long while to suggest something for me to do….
