“KYE HO!
Dear children, listen closely!
What you call mind isn’t anything at all. Allow your own mind to look at itself. Past thoughts are no longer here, and the future’s not yet here and whatever arises now is beyond reckoning. Let all thoughts of the past, present and future settle, right now, and in this moment see how it is; if you see colors and shapes; this is a sign you’ve wandered into the house of delusion. If you think “it’s nothing, there’s nothing”, you’re trapped in the numb empty state and the richness of your own nature will not emerge. You know, you can investigate meditate for a hundred years and not be moving towards freedom, great natural perfection is present awareness right now. No thoughts and conditions - clear and radiant, like the sky, this never changes. It is dharmakaya. The primordial clear and radiant awareness is unceasing in its splendor. It is sambhogakaya, the rapturous the arising of all possible things, an ever-present vibration. It is nirmanakaya, the magical whatever. Whenever something happens, don’t do anything with it. Let it settle by itself. Thoughts are fuel flaring up and are toxic. Let them come and go. They will dissolve into space; coming going - no difference. When they come, look directly how they come. When they go, look directly how they go. It is exactly the same. No favorites, no choosing. Eating, sitting, walking, standing, sleeping, talking, whatever you do, when you do it, look directly how you are. This is how ordinary beings become buddhas. Nothing is more direct than this more profound than this teaching. And for those who rely on this teaching, causes and conditions are gone. This is the space, just this. Directly know every experience is magical. The wisdom eye is now open, clairvoyance now (functions). Here your body is no longer solid. You can travel unrestrained. Death time comes and your material and vital forces break down and your elemental energies transmute into the blessings of rainbow remains, never changing. It’s now dissolved back into the primal state. Awareness settles back into space, Dharmakaya, the primordial, and it activates all tangible dimensions releasing enlightened activities, bringing benefit to all who live, wide as space itself. This is how it is. Now bountiful benefits will flow.”
