Christopher Wilkinson; Vajrasattva - Sky Space: The Royal Tantra on the Great Perfection of the Bodhicitta - selection from Chapter One: The Basic Scene;
"As for the time,
It is the self-evident experience of our dominion.
The compilation
Is the experience of great bliss in bringing our dominion together.
The teaching
Is the perfect experience of encompassing pervasion.
This space is equal to the brilliantly diffused sky of great emptiness.
We do not enter into it,
So we do not turn back.
 
For these reasons,
I am the teacher, the place, and the time.
I am the Dharma that is explained.
I am the listener.
I appear from myself.
I do not stop.
I create.
I gather into myself.
I play within myself.
 
E Ma Ho!
I am an uncreated and self-originating clear light,
The uncontrived heart-essence of the true dominion of thusness.
I myself am the space of the Great Perfection.
From the primordial I have no obstruction.
I am not contrived by virtuous or evil karma.
I am the space that equals the sky,
The wisdom of the dominion of the Dharma,
The self-originating purity of both equality and inequality.
I am not anything at all.
Nothing stops me.
I am the profound space of the great bliss
That is the basis of all things.
Ho!"
 

Ephesians 1:4;
"Just as he chose us beforehand in him from before the foundation of the universe, that we shall be holy and without spot before him, and he ordained us beforehand in love for himself."

Carl Sagan;
"For small creatures such as we
the vastness is bearable only through love."


Swami Jagadananda; Sankara - A Thousand Teachings: The Upadesasahasri of Sankara - CHAPTER-III REPETITION - 114-115;
"I who am of the nature of Consciousness, not attached to anything, changeless, immovable, imperishable, free from fear, extreme subtle and not an object, cannot for the very fact of my being not attached, be made an object and touched by sound in general or its special forms such as, the notes of the gamut, praise, etc. which are pleasant and desirable, and false, terrible, insulting and abusive words, which are undesirable.. So there is no loss or gain due to sound. Therefore what can sound, pleasant or unpleasant, consisting of praise or blame do to me? Pleasant or unpleasant sound regarded as belonging to the Self glorifies or injures and ignorant man on account of indiscrimination. But it cannot do even the slightest good or evil to me who am a man of knowledge. (These ideas should thus be repeated.)
Similarly no change consisting of gain or loss can be produced in me by touch in general or its special form such as fever, colic pain and such other diseases and coldness, hotness, softness or roughness which is unpleasant. Again, pleasant touches connected with the body or brought into existence by external or adventitious causes can likewise produce no change in me as much as I am beyond touch like the ether which, when struck with one's fist, does not meet with any change whatever.
Likewise as I am entirely unconnected with sight, no good or harm is done to me by it, either in its general form or in its special forms both pleasant, and unpleasant, such as ugly sights.
Similarly, Independent of taste I am not harmed or benefited by it, either in its general form or in its special forms such as sweetness, sourness, saltiness, pungency, bitterness and astringency, though accepted as pleasant or unpleasant by the ignorant.
Thus, I who do not consist of smell cannot be harmed or benefited by it, either in its general form or in its special forms such as, flowers, fragrant pastes etc. considered to be pleasant or unpleasant. For, the Sruti says that I am one who am 'eternally devoid of sound, thought, sight, taste and smell.'"

Kabir - Songs of - Song 56;
"I.68 bhāi kōī satguru sant kahāwaī

He is the real Sadhu, who can reveal the form of the Formless
to the vision of these eyes:
Who teaches the simple way of attaining Him,
that is other than rites or ceremonies:
Who does not make you close the doors, and hold the breath,
and renounce the world:
Who makes you perceive the Supreme Spirit wherever
the mind attaches itself:
Who teaches you to be still in the midst of all your activities.
Ever immersed in bliss, having no fear in his mind, he keeps
the spirit of union in the midst of all enjoyments.
The infinite dwelling of the Infinite Being is everywhere:
in earth, water, sky, and air:
Firm as the thunderbolt, the seat of the seeker
is established above the void.
He who is within is without: I see Him and none else."


Thomas Cleary - The Zen Reader - P’u-an - Eye and Cataract;
"Do you want to understand? The whole world is one of your eyes, the body produced by your parents is a cataract. All ordinary people ignore the indestructible, marvelously clear, unfailingly mirroring eye, and cling fast to the dust cataract produced by the relationship of their father and mother. Therefore they take illusions for realities, and grasp at reflections as the physical forms themselves."

Kukai;
"Being painted by brushes of mountains, by ink of oceans,
Heaven and earth are the bindings of a sutra revealing the truth."


Lama Thubten Yeshe - Introduction to Tantra: The Transformation of Desire - 1. Basic Purity;
"According to tantra, perfection is not something that is waiting for us somewhere in the future: “If I practice hard now maybe I will become a perfect buddha” or “If I behave well in this life and act like a religious person, maybe some day I will go to heaven.” According to tantra, heaven is now! We should be gods and goddesses right now. But at present we are burdened with limiting concepts: “Men are like this; women are like this; I am a certain way and there is nothing I can do about it;” and so forth. This is why we have conflict within ourselves and with one another. All this conflict will dissolve as we train in the tantric point of view and recognize that each man is a complete man and each woman a complete woman. Furthermore, every man and woman contains both male and female energy. In fact, each one of us is a union of all universal energy. Everything that we need in order to be complete is within us right at this very moment. It is simply a matter of being able to recognize it. This is the tantric approach."

Hector Berlioz - Letter, November 1856;
"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its students."


Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī - The Big Red Book - A WATERBIRD FLYING INTO THE SUN;
"What I want is to see your face, in a tree, in the sun coming out, in the air.
What I want is to hear the falcon drum and light again on your forearm.
You say, Tell him I am not here.
The sound of that brusque dismissal becomes what I want.
To see in every palm your elegant silver coin-shavings, to turn with the wheel of the rain, to fall with the falling bread of every experience, to swim like a huge fish in ocean water.
To be Jacob recognizing Joseph, to be a desert mountain instead of a city.
I am tired of cowards.
I want to live with lions, with Moses.
Not whining teary people.
I want the ranting of drunkards.
I want to sing like birds sing, not worrying who hears, or what they think.
Last night a great teacher went door to door with a lamp, He who is not to be found is the one I am looking for.
Beyond wanting, beyond place, inside form, that one.
A flute says, I have no hope of finding that.
But love plays and is the music played.
Let that musician finish this poem.
Shams, I am a waterbird flying into the sun."

Adi Shankaracharya - BrahmaJnānavali Māla - 20;
"brahma satyaṃ jagan mithyā

Brahman is absolutely real.
The world is merely name and form."


Longchenpa - The Seven Treasuries - Volume 1 - A Treasure Trove of Scriptural Transmission: A Commentary on the Precious Treasure of the Basic Space of Phenomena - Selection from Chapter 9. The Decisive Experience;
"You come to the decisive experience of awareness--the unique sphere of being--as dharmakaya in all its nakedness, the Precious Treasure of the Basic Space of Phenomena states:

The usual order of things is reversed within the single sphere of being, 
and so hope and fear concerning the fruition are cut through-- a state equal to space. 
So vast, so supreme, the enlightened mind of victorious ones is equal to space. 
There is no renunciation or attainment-- the expanse of the single sphere. 
This is timeless freedom; it is irrelevant whether or not one has realization. 
A yogin is content on the path equal to space, with nothing needing to be done.

Given that all phenomena of samsara and nirvana fundamentally arise within the scope of awareness--the unique sphere of being--there is a reversal of the usual way in which interdependent factors cause the universe of appearances and possibilities to occur in all its variety. That is to say, you trace them back to the place from which they originally came, and so get to the heart of awareness. Once you have realized that samsara and nirvana are miraculous expressions of awareness, there is no hope of attaining some higher state of buddhahood, for you have decided that no buddhahood exists aside from what arises due to awareness itself. There is no fear of falling into samsara, for you have decided that fundamentally appearances are nothing other than the perceptions of unconfused awareness. By realizing that awareness itself, like space, cannot be identified, you come to the decisive experience of supremely spacious spontaneous presence as a great state of timeless freedom beyond labels. You are brought to the point where samsara and nirvana resolve, which is to arrive at the enlightened intent of Samantabhadra."

"Atha Yogānuśāsanam.

now; herewith (of) Yoga expounding; exposition (teaching).

1. Now, an exposition of Yoga."


Guhyagarbha Tantra;
(Delusory appearances:) Faults, the root of samsara, arise from the concept of self.
The birth and cessation of the six (mind-) streams [or realms] and
The delusion of their bodies, wealth, land, sufferings and so on
Are non-existent but (appear) as wrong concepts [[[delusions]]].

(Buddha-fields:) The self-awareness mind, which is emptiness, selflessness and primordial wisdom,
Transforms (phenomenal appearances) through the recollection free from conception.
(In it phenomena) are non-existent but are as the wonders of (Buddha-) bodies, speech, virtues and pure lands.
They are the appearances of (the primordial wisdom) itself.

Jiddu Krishnamurti - Public Talk 4 Brockwood Park, England - 4 September 1977 - Is the flowering of goodness a matter of time?;
"I am telling him or her, to observe is the most important thing in life - not tell the observation how to observe, but to learn the art of observing without any distortion, without any motive, without any purpose, just to observe. In that there is tremendous beauty because then there is no distortion. You see things clearly as they are. But if you make an abstraction of it into an idea, and then through that idea observe then it is a distortion. Right?

So we are merely freely without any distorting factor entering into our observation, observing consciousness. So consciousness begins to reveal its own totality. There is nothing hidden. Which is, the content, which is our hurt, our greed, our envy, our happiness, our belief, our ideologies, all that makes up consciousness, the past traditions, the present, scientific or factual traditions and so on and so on and so on - all that is our consciousness. To observe it without any movement of thought, because thought has put all the content of our consciousness - thought has built it. When thought comes and says, 'This is right, this is wrong, this should be, that...', you are still within the field of consciousness, you are not going beyond it. So one has to understand very clearly the place of thought. Thought has its own place in the field of knowledge, technology and all the rest of it. But thought has no place whatsoever in the psychological structure of man. When it does then confusion begins, then contradiction and all the struggles, the images about you and another - all the rest of it follows. So the art, as we said the meaning of 'art' means to put everything in its right place, not the painter, not the sculptor or the poet, but in our daily life to put everything in its right place, that is art. So can you observe your consciousness and does it reveal its content - not bit by bit, but the totality of its movement? Then only is it possible to go beyond it. Not through analysis which we talked about, because analysis implies the analyser and the analysed, the division, the problem of time in division, and when you analyse each analysis must be totally complete. If there is not complete analysis then the imperfection of that analysis is carried over to the next analysis, so imperfection grows more and more and more. You understand? Like you practise on the piano and practising the wrong note all the time. Right? So that is our enquiry.

And in enquiry can you observe without any movement of the eye? Because the eye - the eye - has an effect on the brain. You can observe it for yourself. When you keep your eyeballs completely still observation becomes very clear because the brain is quietened. You can experiment with this. This is not a trick for something further. It is like going to a guru and learning a few tricks. There is a lovely story, I must tell you about it. A young man goes to a guru, a teacher, and says, 'Please tell me what truth is. I have searched everywhere and nobody seems able to tell me, and I've come to you, please tell me what truth is.' And the guru says, 'Stay with me. Be with me.' And so the pupil, the disciple, stays with him for about fifteen years watching him - you know, all the rest of it. At the end of fifteen years he says, 'Good lord, I have learnt nothing.' And so goes to the guru and says, 'I am so sorry, you have taught me nothing. I haven't found truth. I am going to leave you and go to that guru, the other one.' And so after five years he comes back. He says, 'At last I have learnt.' And the guru says, 'What have you learnt?' 'You see that river? I can walk across it without a boat, without anything, I can walk, tread on the water.' And the guru says, 'You can do that for twopence if you take that little boat.' (Laughter) I think you should bear that story in mind when you approach any gurus.

So can you observe without any movement of thought interfering with your observation? It is only possible when the observer realises that which he is observing is one - the observer is the observed. Anger is not different from me, I am anger, I am jealousy. So there is no division between the observer and the observed. That is the basic reality one must capture. And to observe without the observer. Just to observe, then you will see the whole of consciousness, the whole of it begins to reveal itself without your making an effort. Which means in that total observation there is the emptying or going beyond all the things that thought has put together, which is our consciousness. The reality which thought has made is not truth - it is a reality of thought."


Iain S. Thomas - I Wrote This For You: 2007-2017;
"And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling "This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!"

And each day, it's up to you, to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say "No. This is what's important."

Ted Humphrey; Immanuel Kant (1784) - An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? - selection from;
"1. Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is
the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity
is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and
courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! “Have courage to use
your own understanding!”--that is the motto of enlightenment.

2. Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a proportion of men, long after
nature has released them from alien guidance (natura-liter maiorennes), nonetheless
gladly remain in lifelong immaturity, and why it is so easy for others to establish
themselves as their guardians. It is so easy to be immature. If I have a book to serve as
my understanding, a pastor to serve as my conscience, a physician to determine my diet
for me, and so on, I need not exert myself at all. I need not think, if only I can pay: others
will readily undertake the irksome work for me. The guardians who have so benevolently
taken over the supervision of men have carefully seen to it that the far greatest part of
them (including the entire fair sex) regard taking the step to maturity as very dangerous,
not to mention difficult. Having first made their domestic livestock dumb, and having
carefully made sure that these docile creatures will not take a single step without the go-
cart to which they are harnessed, these guardians then show them the danger that
threatens them, should they attempt to walk alone. Now this danger is not actually so
great, for after falling a few times they would in the end certainly learn to walk; but an
example of this kind makes men timid and usually frightens them out of all further
attempts.

3. Thus, it is difficult for any individual man to work himself out of the immaturity that
has all but become his nature. He has even become fond of this state and for the time
being is actually incapable of using his own understanding, for no one has ever allowed
him to attempt it. Rules and formulas, those mechanical aids to the rational use, or rather
misuse, of his natural gifts, are the shackles of a permanent immaturity. Whoever threw
them off would still make only an uncertain leap over the smallest ditch, since he is
unaccustomed to this kind of free movement. Consequently, only a few have succeeded,
by cultivating their own minds, in freeing themselves from immaturity and pursuing a
secure course.

4. But that the public should enlighten itself is more likely; indeed, if it is only allowed
freedom, enlightenment is almost inevitable. For even among the entrenched guardians
of the great masses a few will always think for themselves, a few who, after having
themselves thrown off the yoke of immaturity, will spread the spirit of a rational
appreciation for both their own worth and for each person's calling to think for himself.
But it should be particularly noted that if a public that was first placed in this yoke by
the guardians is suitably aroused by some of those who are altogether incapable of
enlightenment, it may force the guardians themselves to remain under the yoke--so
pernicious is it to instill prejudices, for they finally take revenge upon their originators, or
on their descendants. Thus a public can only attain enlightenment slowly. Perhaps a
revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing
oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking; instead, new prejudices,
just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.""


Thomas Cleary - The Lankavatara Sutra;
“Confused thinkers without guidance are in a cave of consciousness running hither and thither seeking to explain the self. The pure self has to be realized first hand; that is the matrix of realization, inaccessible to speculative thinkers.”

C.G. Jung;
"Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see."


Garab Dorje - The Last Testament of Garab Dorje: "The Three Statements That Strike the Essential Points" from "The Posthumous Teachings of the Vidyadharas" The Golden Letters;
"Here is contained "The Three Statements That Strike the Essential Points," according to the master Prahevajra (Garab Dorje).

NAMO GURUVE

Homage to that confidence deriving from understanding one's own state of immediate intrinsic Awareness.

PROLOGUE

This state of immediate intrinsic Awareness (called Rigpa) is uncreated and self-existing. Its mode of being represents the essence that is the Primordial Base. Everywhere the manner in which it arises in response to external appearances, which are themselves diverse, is uninterrupted and unobstructed. Moreover, everything, all the phenomena that appear and that exist, arise (spontaneously self-perfected) within the field of the Dharmakaya. Whatever appearances may manifest therein are directly liberated after their arising due to the presence of one's own state of immediate Awareness (rig-pa).

As to the real meaning of this: All of the enlightened states, which consist of nondual knowledge that is primordial awareness (ye-shes), present within the hearts of all the Sugatas (Buddhas) are, in fact, encompassed within this single unique state of immediate intrinsic Awareness (rig-pa) found within every individual sentient being.

In order to inspire Manjushrimitra, who had fallen down senseless upon the ground (when his master had dissolved his physical body into space at the end of his life), this Upadesha, or secret instruction, consisting of "The Three Statements That Strike the Essential Points," was revealed by the master Prahevajra (Garab Dorje). For the purpose of eliminating all concepts relating to both Samsara and Nirvana (in the mind of his disciple), that is to say, his believing that either of them are actually self-existent in their own terms, this exceedingly excellent and well-demonstrated last testament was revealed at the time of the master's death. It should be concealed and preserved within one's own innermost heart!

Indeed, this state of immediate intrinsic Awareness is beyond all conception (by the intellect), being something uncreated and unconditioned.

THE THREE STATEMENTS

ATI

This Upadesha, which unhesitatingly reveals the state of immediate intrinsic Awareness, which is the capacity of the Primordial Base or Dharmakaya, is as follows:

(1) "One is directly introduced to one's own real nature," that is to say, one is introduced directly and ultimately to one's own real face or nature that is intrinsic Awareness, the state of immediate pure presence (rig-pa). And, furthermore, its nature is revealed, in actuality, to be completely pure from the very beginning. It is just this state of immediate Awareness that is introduced here, in the same way, for example, that anger can be liberated by itself.

(2) "One directly decides upon this single unique state," that is to say, one discovers directly for oneself (in the midst of a multitude of diverse experiences) this single and unique state of intrinsic Awareness, wherein one is aware in every respect, without there being any sense of duality of subject and object remaining.

(3) "One then directly continues with confidence in liberation," that is to say, one continues directly in the state of contemplation with full confidence in the automatic process of self-liberation (of whatever thoughts and appearances arise). And, because of that, one's own Awareness finds itself inherently liberated on its own (without any intervention by the discursive intellect or by anything outside of itself).

There exists no single sentient being who, in terms of the selfmanifesting of this intrinsic Awareness, does not find him- or herself inherently liberated. One's own individual state of existence (or condition of interior awareness), on the one hand, and the states of other things in the outer world which are presented to one's consciousness as external appearances, on the other hand, come to encounter each other and become integrated. (This represents a direct immediate intuition without there being any duality of subject and object, a primordial awareness.) But, where this is not understood by the individual, then oneself and other things (the "I," which is one's own interior awareness, and the "others," which are external appearances) are perceived as arising in the dualistic fashion of interior subject and external object.

This single Upadesha, or secret instruction (given above) for selfliberation immediately and straightforwardly is unique (among all spiritual paths to enlightenment), and its contrary does not exist (in terms of efficacy). It alone is sufficient for liberation."

Stephen Mitchell - The Enlightened Heart: An Anthology of Sacred Poetry - BIOGRAPHICAL AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES;
"Layman P’ang Yün (c.740–808), Chinese Zen Master, known as Layman Fang. Upon his retirement in middle age, he gave away his house for use as a Buddhist temple, put all his money and possessions onto a boat in a nearby lake, and sank it. “Since his wealth was great,” one ancient account says, “he worried about it. Once he had decided to give it away, he thought to himself, ‘If I give it to other people, they may become as attached to it as I was. It is better to give it to the country of nothingness.’” After this, he and his wife, son, and daughter earned their living by making and selling bamboo utensils.
Layman P’ang’s daughter, Ling-chao, was her father’s equal in depth of insight. Here is one of several dialogues in which she has the upper hand:
The Layman was sitting in his thatched cottage one day [studying the sūtras].
"Difficult, difficult," he said; "like trying to scatter ten measures of sesame seed all over a tree."
"Easy, easy," Mrs. Pang said; "like touching your feet to the ground when you get out of bed."
"Neither difficult nor easy," Ling Zhao said; "on the hundred grass tips, the great Masters' meaning.""


Vairochana - The Six Vajra Verses, or "Cuckoo of the State of Presence";
"In the language of India: Santi darpa.

In the language of Tibet: rDzogs-pa chen-po sa gcig-pa (the single stage which is the Great Perfection).

SVASTI

Homage to the spontaneously perfected Great Bliss of the indestructible vajras of the Body, Speech, and Mind of Shri Bhagavan Samantabhadra, the glory of glories!

(1) Even though (kyang) the nature of the diversity (of all phenomena) (sna-tshogs rang-bzhin) is without any duality (mi gnyis),

(2) In terms of the individuality of the things themselves (chashas nyid du), they are free of any conceptual elaborations (made by mind) (spros dang bral).

(3) Even though (kyang) there exists no thought or conception (mi rtog) of what is called (zhes) the state of being just as it is (ji-bzhin-pa),

(4) These various appearances which are created (rnam-par snang mdzad) are but manifestations of Samantabhadra (the Primordial State) (kun to bzang).

(5) Since everything is complete in itself (zin-pas), one comes to abandon the illness of (or obsession with) efforts (rtsol-ba'i nad spangs te),

(6) And thus one continues (bzhag-pa yin) spontaneously (lhun gyis) in the calm state of contemplation (gnas-pa).

The cuckoo of Awareness which is the Bodhichitta is completed."

The Upanishads;
"The Golden God, the Self, the immortal Swan
leaves the small nest of the body, goes where He wants.
He moves through the realm of dreams; makes numberless forms
delights in sex; eats, drinks, laughs with His friends;
frightens Himself with scenes of heart-chilling terror.
But He is not attached to anything that He sees;
and after He has wandered in the realms of dream and awakeness,
has tasted pleasures and experienced good and evil,
He returns to the blissful state from which He began.
As a fish swims forward to one riverbank then the other,
Self alternates between awakeness and dreaming.
As an eagle, weary from long flight, folds its wings,
gliding down to its nest, Self hurries to the realm
of dreamless sleep, free of desires, fear, pain.
As a man in sexual union with his beloved
is unaware of anything outside or inside,
so a man in union with Self knows nothing, wants nothing,
has found his heart’s fulfillment and is free of sorrow.
Father disappears, mother disappears, gods
and scriptures disappear, thief disappears, murderer,
rich man, beggar disappear, world disappears,
good and evil disappear; he has passed beyond sorrow."


The All-Creating King Tantra (Kunjed Gyalpo / Kulayarāja Tantra) - selection from: 
"The heart essence of everything--this awakened mind, 
timelessly and spontaneously present by its nature--
need not be sought or achieved through the ten attributes.
My nature is like space, the universal metaphor. 
In pure space, all is such that it entails no effort.
While everyone seeks something in pure space, 
space is entirely beyond all effort and achievement.
So too is the all-creating heart essence, awakened mind. 
Because I transcend the entire range of finite experience, 
in me there is no point of view to hold or anything ever 
to cultivate in meditation. 
Likewise, the nature of the ten attributes is such that 
concerning me, the transcendent one, nothing need be done. 
Those who follow spiritual approaches based on either causes 
or results 
seek me through the ten attributes, 
wishing to behold me and my nature. 
As though stepping out into space and falling to earth, 
they will fail in their attempts to progress by using these 
ten attributes. 
My nature shows itself to be authentic.
Because I transcend the entire range of finite experience,
there is no view to cultivate in meditation.
Similarly, the ten attributes do not ultimately exist,
so do not think that they do.
Since I am not an object to be seen by looking,
do not try to look--rest in suchness itself.
Since there is no causal factor separating one from the unborn
state free of elaboration,
there is no need to observe vows or spiritual disciplines.
Because the heart essence is timelessly and spontaneously present,
there is no need for effort or achievement.
Because naturally occurring timeless awareness is unobscured,
this awareness, this timeless awareness, cannot be made
more lucid.
Because everything abides on my level,
there are no levels of realization to train on or traverse.
Because I abide all-pervasively,
there is no path that leads to me.
Because I am timelessly free of dualistic perception,
there is nothing that could even be labeled "subtle."
Because my form is all-pervasive,
"duality" has never existed.
Since I have always been naturally occurring timeless awareness,
there is no definitive conclusion about me for others to reach.
Since I am the very heart of everyone's enlightenment,
there is no secret source of pith instructions elsewhere.
Because I am beyond all misinterpretation,
I have decisively experienced all phenomena.
Since there is no object, only me,
I have also decisively experienced that there is no view to cultivate
in meditation.
Because there is nothing to uphold, only me,
I have also decisively experienced that there is no
samaya to uphold.
Because there is nothing to seek, only me,
I have also decisively experienced that there is no enlightened
activity to seek.
Because there is nowhere to abide, only me,
I have also decisively experienced that there are no levels of
realization on which to train.
Because obscurations are timelessly absent in me,
I have also decisively experienced that I am naturally occurring
timeless awareness.
Because I am unborn--the true nature of phenomena--
I have also decisively experienced that I am that subtle nature.
Because there is nowhere to journey, only me,
I have also decisively experienced that there are no paths
to traverse.
Because buddhas, ordinary beings, and the universe of
appearances and possibilities
all occur due to me--enlightenment, the heart essence--
I have also decisively experienced timeless nonduality.
Because I epitomize naturally occurring timeless awareness,
I have also decisively experienced that I am the supreme
lightning transmission.
Because all phenomena are none other than me,
I, the all-creating one, am the decisive experience of everything."

Malcolm Smith, Osa Karen Manell, Michael Tweed; Vimalamitra - The Tantra Without Syllables And The Blossoming Lotus;
"THE TANTRA WITHOUT SYLLABLES

In English: The So-Called Great Tantra Without Syllables, the Tantra of the Precious Victory Banner, the Tantra of the King's Lineage, the Tantra of the View Equal with the Limits of Space

NIDANA

A Homage to the Teacher, the Bhagavan Vast Appearance of the Kayas.
Thus I taught at one time:
"Nothing is explained in all the tantras; transcended in the signless dimension, there is nothing to explain."
"Nothing is demonstrated in all the agamas; transcended in the unfabricated dimension, nothing is accomplished through effort."
"Nothing is illustrated in all the upadeshas; transcended in the incorruptible dimension, nothing is accomplished."
"E ma ho! Listen, retinue of sublime appearances! The vidya of reality manifests unceasingly to the retinue of the method of appearances."
"Thus, in the location of vidya nothing was said before, is not being said now, and will not be said later on."

Om
Thus I heard at one time:
"When powerful vidya arose without ceasing in the space of self appearing dharmata, the Teacher resided in a dimension adorned with a kaya without impure appearances, residing together with the retinue at that time, a great appearance without [impure] appearances.""


Kyabje Chadral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche - The Contemporary Mahasiddha with Many Prophecies - ESSENTIAL ADVICE FROM MY HEART;
"Namo Guru Bhya!

Precious master of unrepayable kindness, Pema Ledrel Tsal,
Remain as the crown ornament on the top of my head, I pray!
Grant your blessings so that we may find freedom here and now
From all the sufferings of samsara and its lower realms!

Listen well, my dear disciples who are gathered here,
And whose hearts have not been spoiled, consider this.

The chances of finding a human existence are one in a hundred.
Now that you have found one, if you fail to practise the sublime Dharma,
How could you possibly expect to find such an opportunity again?
This is why it’s crucial that you take advantage of your situation.
Conceiving of your body as a servant or a thing to ferry you about,
Don’t allow it to rest in idleness for even just a single moment;
Use it well, spurring on your entire body, speech and mind to virtue.

You might spend your whole life pursuing only food and clothes,
With great effort and without regard for suffering or harmful deeds,
But when you die you can’t take even a single thing—consider this well.
The clothing and alms needed to keep you alive are all you need.
You might dine on the finest meal of delicious meat and alcohol,
But it all turns into something impure the very next morning,
And there is nothing more to it all than that.
So be content with life-sustaining provisions and simple clothes,
And be a loser when it comes to food, clothing and conversation.

If you don’t reflect on death and impermanence,
There’ll be no way to practise Dharma purely,
Practice will remain an aspiration, one that is constantly postponed,
And you may feel regret the day that death comes, but by then it’s too late!

There’s no real happiness among any of the six classes,
But if we consider the sufferings of the three lower realms,
Then, when you feel upset just by hearing about them,
How will you possibly cope when you experience them directly?
Even the happiness and pleasures of the three upper realms
Are just like fine food that’s been laced with poison-
Enjoyable at first, but in the long run a cause of ruin.

What’s more, all these experiences of pleasure and pain,
Are not brought about by anyone besides yourself.
They are produced by your very own actions, good and bad.
Once you know this, it’s crucial that you act accordingly,
Without confusing what should be adopted and abandoned.
It’s far better to eliminate your doubts and misconceptions,
By relying on the instructions of your own qualified teacher,
Than to receive many different teachings and never take them any further.

You might remain in a solitary place, physically isolated from the world,
Yet fail to let go of ordinary concerns, and, with attachment and aversion,
Seek to bring defeat upon your enemies while furthering the interests of
your friends,
And involve yourself in all kinds of projects and financial dealings-
But there could hardly be anything worse than that at all.

If you lack the wealth of contentment in your mind,
You’ll think you need all kinds of useless things,
And end up even worse than just an ordinary person,
Because you won’t manage even a single session of practice.
So set your mind on freedom from the need for anything at all.

Wealth, success and status are all simply ways of attracting enemies and
demons.
Pleasure-seeking practitioners who fail to turn their minds from this life’s
concerns
Sever their connection to the authentic Dharma.
So take care to avoid becoming stubbornly immune to the teachings.

Limit yourself to just a few activities and undertake them all with diligence.
Not allowing your mind to become fidgety and restless,
Make yourself comfortable on the seat in your retreat cabin,
This is the surest way to gain the riches of a Dharma practitioner.

You might remain sealed in strict retreat for months or even years,
But if you fail to make any progress in the state of your mind,
Later, when you tell everyone about all that you did over such a long time,
Aren’t you just bragging about all the hardships and deprivation?
And all their praise and acknowledgements will only make you proud.

To bear mistreatment from our enemies is the best form of austerity,
But those who hate criticism and are attached to compliments,
Who take great pains to discover all the faults of others,
While failing to keep proper guard over their own mindstream,
And who are always irritable and short-tempered,
Are certain to bring breakages of samaya upon all their associates,
So rely constantly on mindfulness, vigilance and conscientiousness.

No matter where you stay – be it a busy place or a solitary retreat--
The only things that you need to conquer are mind’s five poisons
And your own true enemies, the eight worldly concerns, nothing else,
Whether it is by avoiding them, transforming them, taking them as the path,
or looking into their very essence,
Whichever method is best suited to your own capacity.

There’s no better sign of accomplishment than a disciplined mind,
This is true victory for the real warrior who carries no weapons.
When you practise the teachings of the Sutras and Tantras,
The altruistic Bodhichitta of aspiration and application is crucial,
Because it lies at the very root of the Mahayana.
Just to have this is enough, but without it, all is lost.

These words of advice were spoken in the hidden grove of Padma,
In the place called Kunzang Chöling,
In the upper hermitage in a forest clearing,
By the old beggar Sangye Dorje.

May it be virtuous (Shubham)!

The Reverberation of Sound Tantra (Drathalgyur / Shabda maha prasamga mula tantra) - selection from;
"Given the confusion of the impure state of being,
the key point is to rest imperturbably without
manipulating the avenues of the sense faculties.
Not to deviate from this is the pith instruction.
Things appear without being reified as objects,
while mind arises without being reified as a subject.
The eyes see without analyzing.
One is led along the path of ineffability—the nature
of phenomena.
One is brought to the ground of being that has nothing
to do with view or meditation.
One merges with the effortless fruition in which nothing
need be done.
In this, one does not dwell in the limitations of apparent
phenomena."


Saraha, Virupa, Tilopa, Krnsapa, Maitripa, Naropa - The Eight Doha Treasures: A text that clearly teaches the Mahamudra instructions - Savara Saraha - The Mahamudra Instructions entitled 'The Doha Treasure' - 1. The Mahamudra true nature - 1.1 The manner in which [the Mahamudra] is present;
"The animate and the inanimate, the mobile and the immobile,
Things and nothing, appearance and emptiness,
Everything, without exception, throughout all time,
Never deviate from the nature of space.

You can repeat, “Space!” “Space!” but still
The essence of space has no reality whatsoever;
It transcends being an object that can be said to exist, to not exist,
To neither exist nor not exist, or to be something other than that.

Thus, there isn’t the slightest difference
Between ‘space’, ‘mind’ and ‘the truth’;
These are just separate, incidental terms,
They are nothing but meaningless, false words.

All phenomena are ones own mind.
There is not even a particle of phenomena that is other than mind;
The one who realises the primordial non-existence of mind
Attains the sacred realisation of the victors of the three times,

It is perfectly named ‘the Casket of the Dharma’
It is not a Dharma that is anything other than
The nature that is primordially innate.

Its truth is not something that can be taught;
It cannot be described, so no one can understand it.

To say it has a possessor would be a mistake,
For how could there be in primordial selflessness?
If the mind exists, then all phenomena would exist.
If the mind does not exist, who would realise the Dharma?

That which appears as mind and phenomena,
If one seeks it, it will not be found, and there is no seeker anywhere.
It is non-existent, throughout the three times it is unborn and unceasing.
It does not become anything else.
It is the ultimate state of great bliss.

Therefore, all appearances are the dharmakaya,
All beings are buddhas,
All composite actions are the primordial dharmadhtu,
All nominal phenomena are like a rabbit’s horns."

“Do Seva and service in this world and find a seat in the court of God”
ਵਿਚਿ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਸੇਵ ਕਮਾਈਐ ॥
ਤਾ ਦਰਗਹ ਬੈਸਣੁ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
( Sri Rag M-1, 26 )

-Guru Nanak Dev

Seva in Sikhism means selfless service without personal motive.
In Seva there is no discrimination on the basis of caste, color, and creed.
Seva must be done without any Haumai and not for self-aggrandizement or glory.
Seva must not be performed to burden the beneficiary so as to make him feel indebted.
Seva must not be performed for any award, reward, or recognition except for service to God.
Seva must not be for show but intended to inculcate humility and love for God.
Seva must be for inculcation of Sat, Santokh,Sahaj and Daya.

C.S. Lewis;
“If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.”


Jianzhi Sengcan - The Mind of Absolute Trust;
"The Great Way isn’t difficult
for those who are unattached to their preferences.
Let go of longing and aversion,
and everything will be perfectly clear.
When you cling to a hairbreadth of distinction,
heaven and earth are set apart.
If you want to realize the truth,
don’t be for or against.
The struggle between good and evil
is the primal disease of the mind.
Not grasping the deeper meaning,
you just trouble your mind’s serenity.
As vast as infinite space,
it is perfect and lacks nothing.
But because you select and reject,
you can’t perceive its true nature.
Don’t get entangled in the world;
don’t lose yourself in emptiness.
Be at peace in the oneness of things,
and all errors will disappear by themselves.

If you don’t live the Tao,
you fall into assertion or denial.
Asserting that the world is real,
you are blind to its deeper reality;
denying that the world is real,
you are blind to the selflessness of all things.
The more you think about these matters,
the farther you are from the truth.
Step aside from all thinking,
and there is nowhere you can’t go.
Returning to the root, you find the meaning;
chasing appearances, you lose their source.
At the moment of profound insight,
you transcend both appearance and emptiness.
Don’t keep searching for the truth;
just let go of your opinions.

For the mind in harmony with the Tao,
all selfishness disappears.
With not even a trace of self-doubt,
you can trust the universe completely.
All at once you are free,
with nothing left to hold on to.
All is empty, brilliant,
perfect in its own being.
In the world of things as they are,
there is no self, no non-self.
If you want to describe its essence,
the best you can say is “Not-two.”
In this “Not-two” nothing is separate,
and nothing in the world is excluded.
The enlightened of all times and places
have entered into this truth.
In it there is no gain or loss;
one instant is ten thousand years.
There is no here, no there;
infinity is right before your eyes.
The tiny is as large as the vast
when objective boundaries have vanished;
the vast is as small as the tiny
when you don’t have external limits.
Being is an aspect of non-being;
non-being is no different from being.
Until you understand this truth,
you won’t see anything clearly.
One is all; all
are one. When you realize this,
what reason for holiness or wisdom?
The mind of absolute trust
is beyond all thought, all striving,
is perfectly at peace, for in it
there is no yesterday, no today, no tomorrow."

Anthony De Mello - Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality - ON THE PROPER KIND OF SELFISHNESS;
"The first thing I want you to understand, if you really want to wake up, is that you don’t want to wake up. The first step to waking up is to be honest enough to admit to yourself that you don’t like it. You don’t want to be happy. Want a little test? Let’s try it. It will take you exactly one minute. You could close your eyes while you’re doing it or you could keep them open. It doesn’t really matter. Think of someone you love very much, someone you’re close to, someone who is precious to you, and say to that person in your mind, “I’d rather have happiness than have you.” See what happens. “I’d rather be happy than have you. If I had a choice, no question about it, I’d choose happiness.” How many of you felt selfish when you said this? Many, it seems. See how we’ve been brainwashed? See how we’ve been brainwashed into thinking, “How could I be so selfish?” But look at who’s being selfish. Imagine somebody saying to you, “How could you be so selfish that you’d choose happiness over me?” Would you not feel like responding, “Pardon me, but how could you be so selfish that you would demand I choose you above my own happiness?!”
A woman once told me that when she was a child her Jesuit cousin gave a retreat in the Jesuit church in Milwaukee. He opened each conference with the words: “The test of love is sacrifice, and the gauge of love is unselfishness.” That’s marvelous! I asked her, “Would you want me to love you at the cost of my happiness?” “Yes,” she answered. Isn’t that delightful? Wouldn’t that be wonderful? She would love me at the cost of her happiness and I would love her at the cost of my happiness, and so you’ve got two unhappy people, but long live love!"


Linda Johnsen - The Living Goddess: Reclaiming the Tradition of the Mother of the Universe - Sarasvati Rahasya Upanishad - pp 51-52;
"It was through me the Creator himself gained liberating knowledge,
I am being, consciousness, bliss, eternal freedom: unsullied, unlimited, unending.
My perfect consciousness shines your world, like a beautiful face in a soiled mirror,
Seeing that reflection I wish myself you, an individual soul, as if I could be finite!

A finite soul, an infinite Goddess – these are false concepts,
in the minds of those unacquainted with truth,
No space, my loving devotee, exists between your self and my self,
Know this and you are free. This is the secret wisdom."

Sholeh Wolpé; Attar of Nishapur - The Conference of the Birds - The Birds Confer and Make Excuses - The Hoopoe Speaks;
"There is a leader for us, I tell you,
who lives over there, in Mount Qaf.
Simorgh is that Beloved’s name, the leader of all birds,
who is closer to us than our own blood veins;
yet we stay far from that Great One, so very far!

Simorgh nests in a blessed sanctuary,
its name too sacred for just any tongue.
A hundred thousand veils of darkness and light
hang between that Beloved and us.

No one in either world dares
to seek that Absolute Sovereign.
The Simorgh does not reveal its home;
how then can science or wisdom even seek
or ever hope to find its nest?

There are no roads to its court,
nor any signposts to point us there.
A hundred thousand creatures have tried
to find it and lost their minds.
No one can describe Simorgh, not even pure spirits.
No mind can fathom that Great One
who leaves awestruck and dumb both Reason and Soul.

No wise ancient has comprehended its perfection;
no seer has envisioned its majestic beauty.
Creation gains no access to its ocean of knowledge;
neither science nor perception can guide us there.

If we gather all that we know of its beauty and wisdom,
we’ll still end up embracing illusions.
How can one even begin a journey to such a Great Majesty?
It’s like urging a moonfish to swim to the moon."


Wumen Huikai;
"One instant is eternity;
eternity is the now.
When you see through this one instant,
you see through the one who sees."

Adyashanti - The Art of Self-Inquiry;
"Whatever thoughts you have about yourself aren’t who and what you are. There is something more primary that is watching the thoughts."


Mundaka Upanishad;
"Self is everywhere, shining forth from all beings,
vaster than the vast, subtler than the most subtle,
unreachable, yet nearer than breath, than heartbeat.
Eye cannot see it, ear cannot hear it nor tongue
utter it; only in deep absorption can the mind,
grown pure and silent, merge with the formless truth.
As soon as you find it, you are free; you have found yourself;
you have solved the great riddle; your heart forever is at peace.
Whole, you enter the Whole. Your personal self
returns to its radiant, intimate, deathless source."

Ellen M. Chen; Lao Tzu - The Tao Te Ching: A New Translation with Commentary - 2;
"1. When all under heaven know beauty (mei) as beauty,
There is then ugliness (o);
When all know the good (shan) good,
There is then the not good (pu shan).

2. Therefore being and non-being give rise to each other,
The difficult and easy complement each other,
The long and short shape each other,
The high and low lean on each other,
Voices and instruments harmonize with one another,
The front and rear follow upon each other.

3. Therefore the sage manages affairs without action,
Carries out (hsing) teaching without speech (yen).
Ten thousand things arise and he does not initiate them,
They come to be and he claims no possession (yu) of them,
He works (wei) without holding on,
Accomplishes (ch 'eng) without claiming merit.
Because he does not claim merit,
His merit does not go away."


Mechthild of Magdeburg;
"A fish cannot drown in water,
A bird does not fall in air.
In the fire of creation,
Gold doesn’t vanish:
The fire brightens.
Each creature God made
Must live in its own true nature;
How could I resist my nature,
That lives for oneness with God?"
