All
things originate from the mind.
When the whole mind is silent,
all
appearances end.
Which is the other?
which
is self?
When there is no sign of differentiation,
not
even a single atom can be established.
When not a single thought is born,
a penetration occurs through,
before the womb and after the skin bag;
One point of inconceivable illumination,
whole and undifferentiated,
without corners, edge
or traces that cannot be dimmed.
What cannot be dimmed
has been referred to as inherent knowledge;
the point of inherent knowledge has been termed
as
the fundamental endowment.
When there is an apperception that all things are empty,
there is freedom in all states of mind,.......
........freedom arising,
in the very apperception of the inferential nature
of a notional entity
known as the mind.
The primordial beam of light pervades everywhere
and
transforms according to the energies and situations.
Everything it meets,............... is the source,
subtly
illuminating all things.
Empty, the wind in the pines
and the moon in the water
respond
outwardly without getting confused.
Empty living is in clear harmony,
without a wandering mind,
not sticking anywhere.
With a mind like spring bearing flowers,
like a mirror reflecting images;
in the midst of floods of tumult,
the
eye of serenity is the only reality.
When the state is thoroughly peaceful cool and serene,
the emptiness of the ages is apperceived;
That there is nothing to be troubled by,
nothing
that can obstruct.
For there is nothing which cognizes trouble as "trouble",
obstruction as "obstruction",
both the good and trouble, the abetment and the obstruction,
all seen as nuances of the Dance,
in that moment.
Moment
to moment to moment
Empty, absolute and radiant;
clear, complete and shining;
it clearly exists for all ages,
never
dimmed.
Clean, pure, perfectly clear;
the
power of the eye cannot reach its bounds.
Still, silent, empty and vast,
the
ken of the mind cannot find its edges.
There
is utterly no way to study this matter;
There is utterly
no technique,
no methodology
to
reach the un-dimmable;
The essence lies in the emptying
and opening body and mind,
so they are vast as space,
then even the distinction of nowhere and everywhere
ceases.
However wanting to empty,
desiring to open
are
the very closures.
This awareness cannot be dimmed,
this
clarity cannot be confused.
The moon follows the flowing waters,
the
rain goes with the moving clouds.
Each and every sense and sensation appears immediate
and the distinction between relative and absolute
a
hilarity.
Therefore it was said,
that a sage has no self,
but there is nothing,
that is not the sage.
