Those who are free of the notion of being
And understand the teaching that there are no beings
Will correctly avoid reifying the fact

The mind that relates to objects
Like a bee unattached to a flower's nectar
Or a bird leaving no trace in the sky,
Is a mind, O King, that reaches buddhahood.

Lord of Humans, always bear in mind
That existence is without any essence,
And strive ceaselessly
In the teachings of the Buddha.

It is to not enter saṃsāra.

You have given up hate, rejecting the three kinds of moral filth and harshness.
To the awakened one with no impurities, I bow.

The pure radiance of the sun overwhelms the light cast by fireflies.
The tall flames at the end of an eon consume the entire earth.

There is nothing comparable to the absorption
That perceives the vajra-like, nondual path—
The manifestation, in due order, of what is most desired,
The permanent accomplishment of the teacher’s absolute practice.
