DZOGCHEN - SOME PURE GOLD FROM NATURAL PERFECTION OF LONGCHEMPA - POST AWAKENING TEACHINGS CLEARLY



1.    Just as dream is a part of sleep,
unreal gossamer in its arising,
so all and everything is pure mind,
never separated from it, (ONE  FABRIC)
and without substance or attribute.

2.    Experience may arise in the mind
but it is neither mind nor anything but mind; (ONE FABRIC)

3.    Just as the objective field is absent in reality,
so “the knower”—in actuality pure mind, (SO KNOWING?)

4.    In the heart-essence that is self-sprung awareness,
the absence of causality closes the abyss of samsara,
the absence of discrimination integrates samsara and nirvana,
and in the absence of glitches and veils the triple world coalesces.

5.    In total presence, the nature of mind that is like the sky,
where there is no duality, no distinction, no gradation,
there is no view nor meditation nor commitment to observe,
no diligent ideal conduct, no pristine awareness to unveil,
no training in the stages and no path to tread,
no subtle level of realization, and no final union. (HAHAHHAHAHA – THE BEST)

6.    In the absence of judgment nothing is “sacred” or “profane,”
only a one-taste matrix, like the Golden Isle;
the self-sprung nature of mind is like the clear sky,
its nature an absence beyond all expression.

7.    The actual essence, pristine rigpa,
cannot be improved upon, so virtue is profitless,
and it cannot be impaired, so vice is harmless;
in its absence of karma there is no ripening of pleasure or pain;
in its absence of judgment, no preference for samsara or nirvana;
in its absence of articulation, it has no dimension;
in its absence of past and future, rebirth is an empty notion:
who is there to transmigrate? and how to wander?
what is karma and how can it mature?
Contemplate the reality that is like the clear sky!

8.    Constantly deconstructing, investigating keenly,
not even the slightest substance can be found;
and in the undivided moment of nondual perception
we abide in the natural state of perfection. (ALL POST AWAKENING )

9.    Absent when scrutinized, absent when ignored,
not even an iota of solid matter is attested;
so all aspects of experience are always absent—
know it as nothing but magical illusion!

10. In total presence, the indeterminate nature of mind, 
lies the timeless pristine awareness of nondual perception; 
in sheer naked, noncontingent rigpa, 
lies the nondiscriminatory holistic seed; 
in the holistic transparence of zero-dimensional rigpa, 
lies the contemplation of Dharmakaya Samantabhadra; 
in essential absence,
the intrinsic rigpa of total presence, 
nonreferential,
immaculate contemplation
is shining.





11.The spaciousness within and beyond the atiyoga precepts
 is a complete absence,
nothing whatsoever,
like the sky: in the very moment,
in the natural disposition of pure being, 
as the original hyper-space
that we cannot abandon, 
the natural state of pure pleasure is spontaneously arisen.

12. So if we aspire to the supreme state of being 
we should cast aside all childish games
that fetter and exhaust body, speech, and mind; 
and stretching out in inconceivable nonaction,
 in the unstructured matrix,
the actuality of absence, 
where the natural perfection of reality lies, 
we should gaze at the uncontrived sameness of every experience, (BECAUSE EACH EXPERIENCE CUES THE SAME AWARENESS)
 all conditioning and ambition resolved with finality

13.In the yoga of enchanting illusion, the play of rigpa, 
empty experience arises
as evanescent, uncrystallizing display, and
convinced of absence in the moment of its inception, 
without the least urge to control,
to cultivate or reject, 
we remain open, at ease,
carefree, and detached.

14. In the absence of outside and inside,
subject and object, 
intrinsic rigpa,
being out of time and space, 
supersedes all finite events
that seemingly begin and end; 
pure as the sky,
it is without signposts or means of access (Oh! ). 
Any specific insight into rigpa is always deluded, 
so that any spiritual identity, always delusive, is abandoned; 
and
convinced that the space of undifferentiated Samantabhadra 
is the all-encompassing super-emptiness of all samsara and nirvana, 
the natural state obtains(settles down/rests?) as the reality
without transition or change. 
Breaking out of the brittle shell of discursive view 
into the hyper-spaciousness
that is nowhere located, (hahahahaha)
in the experience of absence
the crux of the matter is fully disclosed.

15.Once the existential crux of absence is disclosed, 
in the rigpa of carefree detachment,
 in nonmeditation, 
the nondiscriminatory space
of whatever occurs
is assimilated rigpa
congruent with the nondual super-matrix of mind. 
Pure pleasure left alone in vajra-spaciousness 
gives uncultivated, spontaneous super-concentration; 
with the yogin settled in uncontrived sameness, (because each experience just joins the dots of the continuity of the single fabric of awareness)
it shines forth easily,
a constant,
like a river’s strong current.  
Authentic sky-like reality in its utter simplicity, 
unchangeable,
admits no gradation, 
and its ineluctable all-suffusing spaciousness 
has no language to express itself. 
Yet insight bursting through,
rigpa self-arising, 
uninhibited by his learning,
without any pedantry, 
the yogin in whom mental silence
supersedes ideation 
gains conviction in signlessness,
without sign or no sign, 
and since there is no meditator nor object of meditation, 
lethargy and agitation
need not be confronted as foes.

16.Essential absence has already released dualistic perception, (post Awakening I am guessing)
so delusion falls naturally into the matrix of sameness (each experience only cues awareness and not the object perceived/experience)
— we live without interruption in pure being.  (grace!)
Inception and release are simultaneous, 
entwining in the single blissful matrix: 
whatever arises
appears spontaneously
as its pure nature, 
as it abides
it exists spontaneously as its pure nature,
 when it vanishes
it dissolves spontaneously as its pure nature. 
 Whatever arises in the reality-matrix,
release is reflexive, 
always a play of pure being,
never shifting into anything other, 
a timeless vision,
another form of emptiness
— we live in nondiscriminatory essential reality.  
Whatever occurs in the mind,
quiescent or proliferating, 
as one of the five “poisons”
or any other display of rigpa, 
in its peculiarity,
and in that very moment, 
it recognizes itself,
fully potentiates,
and vanishes without trace: 
the crucial carefree detachment
at the subject/object junction
the crucial self-sprung awareness
as a bird’s traceless trajectory(oh!)
the crucial all-inclusive spaciousness
as a unitary billowing ocean, 
and even the crucial focus upon the sublime mystery itself 
are assimilated from the beginning
in every experience, 
and mere recognition of this crux
is the reality of release. 

In the intrinsic dynamic of the super-matrix, 
everything the very same
at inception,
in existence,
and upon release, 
nothing unequal,
nothing fixed,
nothing unreleased, 
total integration in the ultimate pure-mind matrix is assured.  
Involuntarily,
in spontaneous rigpa 
the free buddha-dynamic
is naturally present, 
and the pure mind
that supersedes moral conditioning 
is one with unchanging reality.
