A sage has no self, but there is nothing that is not the sage

[Guest guest]

All things originate from the mind.

 

When the whole mind is silent, all appearances end.

 

Which is 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 inference of an

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 your state is thoroughly peaceful and your livelihood is cool and serene,

the emptiness of the ages is apperceived; there is nothing to be troubled by,

nothing that can obstruct.

 

For there is nothing which cognizes trouble as trouble, obstruction as

obstruction, both seen as nuances of the Dance, in that 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 undimmable;

 

The essence lies in emptying and opening body and mind so they are vast as

space, then even the distinction of nowhere and everywhere ceases.

 

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.
