“Naturally occurring timeless awareness—utterly lucid awakened mind—is something marvelous and superb, primordially and spontaneously present.It is the treasury from which comes the universe of appearances and possibilities, whether of samsara or nirvana.Homage to the unwavering state, free of elaborations.”

“freedom attends reality:free at the core, any effort is wasted;timelessly free, no release is needed;free in itself, no corrective is possible;directly free, released in seeing;completely free, pure in nature;constantly free, familiarization is redundant;and naturally free, freedom cannot be contrived.yet 'freedom' is just a verbal convention,and who is 'realized' and who is not?how could anyone be 'liberated'?how could anyone be lost in samsara?reality is free of all delimitation!freedom is timeless, so constantly present;freedom is natural, so unconditional;freedom is direct, so pure vision obtains;freedom is unbounded, so no identity possible;freedom is unitary, so multiplicity is consumed.conduct changes nothing - our lives are already free!meditation achieves nothing - our minds are already free!the view realizes nothing - all dogma is freedom!fruition demands nothing - we are free as we are!”

“Consider the fact that no matter how many planets and stars are reflected in a lake, these reflections are encompassed within the water itself; that no matter how many universes there are, they are encompassed within a single space; and that no matter how vast and how numerous the sensory appearances of samsara and nirvana may be, they are encompassed within the single nature of mind (sem-nyid).”

“If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.”
