Motto of Enlightenment
心密二祖仁知阿奢黎
By Renzhi Acharya
| Neither with mind | nor without mind |
|
|
|
| Neither not seeing | nor not hearing |
|
|
|
| Clearly perceiving everything | but not dwelling in perceptions |
|
|
|
| Seeing nowhere at all to dwell | it is the true non-dwelling |
|
|
|
| If the mind doesn’t dwell | where do delusions stand |
|
|
|
| If delusions don’t stand | our impedances dissolve themselves |
|
|
|
| How do minds arise | they arise due to circumstances |
|
|
|
| Circumstances don’t inherently exist | as they are part of illusions |
|
|
|
| Marvelous and numerous functions | is the mind responding to perceptions |
|
|
|
| When the entangled mind ceases | the birthless nature reveals in an instant |
|
|
|
| The nature of the birthless | it is invisible to eyes |
|
|
|
| In the unfathomable universe | there is an absolute existence |
|
|
|
| Those awakened to its presence | reach the true enlightenment |
|
|
|
| Being free from desire | the mind rests in oneness |
|
|
|
| With no mind to be deluded | the true samadhi it is |
|
|
|
| When the true samadhi is realized | there is neither movement nor stillness |
|
|
|
| No gain and no loss | no affection and no aversion |
|
|
|
| The nature being changeless | can rise to meet all circumstances |
|
|
|
| Unchanging and flowing with life | there is no beginning or ending |
|
|
|
| This is the secret to becoming a Buddha | simple as this |
|
