The Practice of True Reality

Develop a mind that functions freely depending on nothing whatsoever….

The Practice of True Reality

  1. The practice of true reality is…to sit serenely in silent study of the self (all the afflictions, desires, attachments, tendencies and obscurations of the ego).
  2. When you have fathomed, plumbed and probed this practice, you cannot be turned around by external causes and conditions.
  3. This empty, wide-open mind (Self) is subtly and correctly illuminating. (Beyond mind, beyond mentall formations)
  4. Spacious and content, without confusion from inner thoughts of grasping, effectively overcome habitual behavior and realize the self that is not possessed by emotions.
  5. You must be broad-minded, whole without relying on others.
  6. Such upright independent spirit can begin not to pursue degrading situations. (Requires conviction, determination, discrimination etc.)
  7. Here you can rest and become clean, pure, and lucid. (Abiding in the clear, circle of brightness)
  8. Bright and penetrating, you can immediately return, accord, and respond to deal with events. Resonse vs reaction)
  9. Everything is unhindered, clouds gracefully floating up to the peaks, the moonlight glitteringly flowing down mountain streams.
  10. The entire place is brightly illumined and spiritually transformed, totally unobstructed and clearly manifesting responsive interaction like box and lid or arrowpoints [meeting)?
  11. Continuing, cultivate and nourish yourself to enact maturity and achieve stability.
  12. If you accord everywhere with thorough clarity and cut off sharp corners without dependence on doctrines, like the white bull or wildcat [helping to arouse wonder], you can be called a complete person.
  13. So, we hear that this is how one on the way of non-mind acts, but before realizing non-mind we still have great hardship.
