To see if you’re aware of impermanence or not,
check whether your plans are long or short term.
To see if you perceive samsara as flawed or not,
check how strong are your attachments.
To see if you’ll attain liberation in the future or not,
check whether your conduct is good or bad.
To see if you’ve given rise to loving kindness and compassion or not,
check how you take care of those in need.
To see if you’ve tamed the demon of anger or not,
check how much hatred you feel towards your enemies.
To see if you’ve dispelled the obscuring demon of ignorance or not,
check how much you cling in hope and fear.
To see if you’ve purified the three poisons or not,
check how free from grasping you’ve become.
You’ll know your Dharma practice has become the path or not
by thoroughly examining your own mind.

Excellent list for checking progress. Chokagyur Lingpa just sets down the ‘check” list for us to go by.
In those very few words, one can have a “report card” for right living. I will print it out for contemplation. Can you tell us more about this teacher and his writings?
Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa (Wyl. mchog gyur bde chen gling pa) (1829-1870) — the emanation of Prince Murub Tsenpo, was born in Nangchen in Kham. He was a contemporary of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamgön Kongtrul, and, like Khyentse Wangpo, was entrusted with the seven special transmissions. His terma revelations, the Chokling Tersar, include the Tukdrup Barché Kunsel and the Three Classes of the Great Perfection.
Thanks for the nice tutoring.PKL
