Realization of the Empty Nature of Apparent Existence

How amazing!

Realization of the empty nature of apparent existence,
All phenomena of samsara and enlightenment free from formulations like space, is the king of views. Present awareness is uncontrived, primordially present dharmakaya. To sustain the natural state without grasping is the supreme key to meditation.

To maintain a balance between view and conduct And always to be careful regarding virtuous and negative actions is correct conduct. Practice like this and your innate dharmakaya will become evident. Seize this ultimate result!

I, Jnana, wrote this.

A song I sang . . .

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

A song I sang as I was about to depart from Kongpo”
to wander aimlessly in central Tibet and other regions:

I, a roaring lion, do not need a palace:
My lion palace is the snow mountains’ exalted heights.
I shake my excellent turquoise mane as I please
As I roam at will in delightful snow mountain ravines.

I, an eagle, do not need a fortress:
My white eagle fortress is the loftiest cliff.
I spread wide my excellent wings as I please
As I soar through the space of the vast blue heavens.

I, a tiger, do not need a castle:
My tiger castle is the densest jungle.
I show off my stripes as I please
As I set out to prowl in the best sandalwood forests.

1, a golden bee, do not need farmland:
My bee farmland is the finest lotus groves.
I sing beautiful melodious songs as I please
As I hover to take the sweetest tasting nectar.

1, a yogi, do not need a home:
My yogi home is good any place I roam.
I naturally achieve my two noble goals
As I set out to wander aimlessly as I please.

I, Dudjom, spoke this nonsense.

View ~ Meditation ~ Conduct 

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

Apparent existence-all phenomena of existence and enlightenment-is the false design of your own mind’s delusion: Recognition of awareness as primordial dharmakaya is the view. 
To settle in the evenness of the natural state within the fresh, continual state of unimpeded original awareness unbound by dualism’s fetters: this is meditation.

To abide within a state of non-action during the ninefold activities of body, speech, and mind and to conform your behavior to the dharma are the essential keys of conduct. Not searching elsewhere for what is to be attained but to grasp within yourself Buddha KuntuZangpo manifest, your own awareness. This is the spontaneously present sovereign result. 

Know the true nature of view, meditation, conduct, and result correctly as I described and cultivate their experience single-pointedly. You will definitely reach the unassailable state during this lifetime. ~
