"Listen, great being, king of pure presence! The true teaching of the

absolute meaning cannot be comprehended or shown [through concepts]. It

cannot be defined, it cannot become an object of fixation, it cannot be

thought: it concerns a nature that transcends thought. [This nature]

cannot be meditated upon and cannot be the object of thought. It does

not know desire and does not conceive the idea of having to accept the

fruit [of realization].

 

Those who abide in this natural non-discursive state reach enlightenment

without embarking on a path; without exercising the mind, they obtain

self-arising wisdom; without striving, they spontaneously achieve the

capacity for spiritual action; without keeping a commitment, they

naturally maintain purity.

 

[in this state] the senses and their objects manifest as the clarity of

the fundamental condition, Buddhas and sentient beings are no longer

seen as a duality, and everything is preserved as unity in the

fundemental condition.

 

The fundemental nature knows neither unity nor multiplicity: could the

essence, which has never been born and has never manifested, ever become

the object of definition?

 

Listen, great being, king of pure presence! All the Buddhas and

sentient beings, the whole universe and the forms of life inhabiting it,

are my nature, beyond any concept of affirmation or negation.

 

My nature is one in the fundemental condition, and that which is taught

by the teachers of the three dimensions serves only to lead all beings,

in an indirect manner, to this single reality."
