But the beginner needs various things.
One should abandon either welcoming or sending off thoughts of past and future.
The instantaneous mind of nowness
Is the unfabricated innate nature.
In meditation there should be no trace of deliberateness.
One should not stray for an instant in confusion.
Nonwandering, nonmeditation, nonfabrication are the point.
With freshness, looseness and clarity,
In the space of the three gates of liberation,
One is mindful, establishing proper watchfulness.
Always keeping the mind balanced between tight and relaxed,
One pacifies the accumulation of subtle, tangible, and gross thoughts.
Rest in the state of natural, unfabricated mind....
Like the center of a cloudless sky,
the self-luminous mind is impossible to express.
It is wisdom of non-thought beyond analogy,
Naked ordinary mind.
Not keeping to dogmatism or arrogance,
It is clearly seen as dharmakaya.
The appearance of the six sense objects, like the moon in water,
Shines in the state of wisdom.
Whatever arises is the unfabricated innate state.
Whatever appears is the nature of mahamudra.
The phenomenal world is dharmakaya great bliss."
