The Progressive Stages of
Meditation on Emptiness III

Mind-Only:
View & Meditation

 
View
The confused appearances of habitual tendencies are devoid of inherent nature.
Therefore, since the apprehender too is without inherent nature,
It is said that [the true nature] exists empty of the duality
Of apprehender and apprehended,
And that mere clarity-awareness, empty of duality, exists.
 
Meditation
When certainty is stabilized in this view,
Free of fixation, let go and relax within emptiness of duality.
Through resting in mere clarity-awareness,
The confusion of dualistic appearances will gradually dissolve.

 

 

At the Dzogchen Palace of Appearance-Emptiness, Sherab Lodro [Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche] spoke this extemporaneously, whereupon Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche immediately wrote it down.

 

Translated under the direction of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche by Tyler Dewar of the Nitartha Translation Network, 2002.

 

Know this life to be like a dream.
See the mind’s unborn nature.
Aspire to be of benefit to others.

– Khenchen Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
