Translation from Tibetan 2nd revised edition

Translator's Preface

The published treatise is a collection of profound instructions on the teachings of sutras, tantras and dzogchen given by Longchen Rabjam (1308–1363) - the great Teacher who reached the completion of the stage of “exhaustion of phenomena” (meaning the cessation of clinging to any experience, including the experience of clear light , and, accordingly, not relating Oneself to anything that can be expressed) and called realization in Dzogchen dharmakaya. The instructions of such a Teacher are truly rare and precious, since these are living words coming from the abyss of direct comprehension, and not from the dead wisdom of borrowed knowledge. These living words are capable of eroding the supports of correlation with the coarse, the subtle, and the super-subtle for those who listen to them with all sincerity and trust and put them into practice.

The treatise is written entirely in poetic form. Each verse contains basically six (some less than six, some as many as seven) tips or principles related to spiritual practice.

Out of boundless compassion, the Teacher gave in this treatise invaluable advice - healing remedies for confusion for those at all possible stages of spiritual practice and levels of realization, both for the most capable and for those whose abilities to comprehend are not so great - for all those who relate to themselves with something". These instructions are a blessing dharmakaya, they are truly priceless. By reading this book, having liberated “your” consciousness, uniting it with it, you can feel the Presence, life-giving and liberating.

A Precious Treasury of Oral Instructions

In Sanskrit the name of this treatise is

Upadesha ratna kosha nama.

Respect to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!


I pay homage to the victorious ones and their spiritual successors, the guides who quench the thirst [for liberation], who have reached the highest level of realization, who have crossed over to the other side of the ocean of the three worlds on the great ship of timeless awareness - the flawless inherent responsiveness of being.


For the fortunate ones who yearn for liberation, I have brought out the very essence of the sutras, tantras and oral instructions, revealing to them the deepest key principles, without leaving anything out. Respectfully listen to this essence presented here in the six-stanza instructions.

Calm your body, speech and mind, question “your own” experiences.

Refrain from harmful actions and cultivate good ones.

Cultivate self-respect, decency and faith.

Trust [genuine] spiritual guides and true companions.

These are the key principles for beginners.

If you want to lead a hermit life, use the following six tips:

Make sure that once you are away from your teacher, you can be self-sufficient.

Resolve all questions, how to dispel doubts and obstacles.

Make sure that your body is not sick and that you are not constrained by negative forces or obstacles.

Free yourself from the restrictions of ordinary worries.

Receive comprehensive instructions on the practice two savings.

Be unshakably convinced of the essence of the view.

* * *

Now here are six instructions on how to live as a hermit:

The place should be isolated and have the right features.

It would be good if experienced practitioners had been to this place in the past.

It must not be violated samaya, to maintain contact with the guards.

There should be no obstacles that could distract or deviate you [from asceticism].

Favorable conditions and easily accessible facilities [for living in the place] must be provided.

There should be no threat from people or spirits.

* * *

There are six ways to ensure favorable conditions:

Do not go to any extremes regarding food, drink and other needs.

Take with you offerings and everything you need for practice.

Take with you all the [necessary] texts of profound instructions.

Take with you also texts that help remove obstacles.

Consider everything else that may be needed,

But free yourself from the burden of numerous possessions.

* * *

Qualified noble companions have six characteristics:

They have a good character and a relaxed disposition.

They are endowed with genuine faith, great zeal and wisdom.

Their practice is in harmony with yours, and they are close to you in spirit.

They are not arrogant and are able to tame the excitement of their feelings.

Their samaya impeccable, and they have a pure view, unfettered by narrowness.

They treat you with love and do not make light of deep instructions.

Talk to such people.

* * *

Here are six sacred principles that lead spiritual practice to perfection:

Receive supporting oral transmissions.

Use reasoning to come to an understanding of the essence.

Focus on the key principles of the pith instructions.

Ascend along the steps of spiritual paths and levels to the final fruit.

Instruct everyone - both “high” and “low”.

Don't go to extremes.

* * *

There are six ways to apply perfect diligence to spiritual practice:

Even under the threat of losing your life, do not deviate your mind from the sacred dharma.

Even if you are sick, do not fall into erroneous judgments.

Do not allow trust [in dharma] to be undermined by social pressure or other obstacles.

Develop the ability to merge your “meditative” experience with your “post-meditation” activities.

Be diligent until you reach your goal.

Develop the ability to perceive a single taste in everything you come into contact with, rejecting nothing and not depending on anything.

* * *

Now six things to think about:

Understand that all responsibility lies only with you.

That all your suffering is the result of previous actions.

That previous actions at the time of commission were due to circumstances.

That these “negative circumstances” stem from your unstable thought patterns.

That they, moreover, were the result of your delusion, which is the pursuit of external objects.

And that the path to liberation is thus obscured.

* * *

Here are six thoughts on how to take responsibility for all your shortcomings:

The suffering of this world of birth and death lies within you.

This suffering exists because you are looking for something that cannot be found by searching.

This suffering exists because of the desire to satisfy your interests; you yourself bring it upon yourself through this attraction.

This is the suffering from meeting enemies and from separation from friends, which is created by your attachment to friends and hostility to enemies.

This is intense suffering due to rebirth in the three lower worlds.

All this is created by your own karma and nothing else.

* * *

Six pointers to delusion—misperceptions and negative thoughts:

It is your own unbridled mind that creates endless harm.

The appearance of “harmful” is the product of your own impure perception.

You make biased judgments about what sounds, while all this is just audible emptiness.

You suppress your thoughts or indulge them, but all this is only your own naturally comprehensive consciousness.

You have convinced yourself that pleasure and pain are exactly what they seem to you, when they are not.

Your mind is on fire with anger and bitterness.

* * *

There are six ways to counteract misperception:

Be tolerant of those who harm you and awaken compassion for them.

Do not be afraid of “demons”, recognize in them That (awareness) that is both your parents and the gods.

Learn to see that there is no basis for confusing fixations on anything.

Cut off the root of the “mind” to remove the very basis of delusion.

Regardless of how circumstances appear, include them in your spiritual path.

Don't be distracted by everyday relationships, but rely on antidotes.

* * *

There are six disadvantages of staying in samsara:

Your mind and body cannot be free from suffering, and you find that happiness is unreal.

In your search for this happiness, you cannot find a place free from the suffering of this life.

You cannot achieve true happiness because you don’t even control your body.

There is no chance that your youth will make you happy and not come to an end.

The suffering of samsara will continue until karma is exhausted.

* * *

Six things to think about that are completely useless:

All your deeds are useless if they are done out of connection with the spiritual path.

Everything is useless if something good is not brought to completion.

A long life is useless if it does not have spiritual practice as its goal.

All achievements are useless if they are achieved in ways that are contrary to dharma.

Property is useless if it does not bring benefits two accumulations.

So, everything that does not lead to enlightenment is useless.

* * *

Teachers - guides on the path to liberation - have six virtues:

They shine the lamp of timeless awareness for those wandering in darkness.

They save the lost who find themselves on the edge of the abyss and return them to the true path.

They save those drowning in the river of passions with the help of a boat that takes them to the highest bliss.

They lead those imprisoned in ignorance to perfect freedom.

They pull those stuck in the quagmire of suffering to the safe land of freedom.

They cut through the fetters of fixation on duality with the sword of timeless awareness.

Therefore, honor teachers as true Buddhas.

* * *

Six topics for considering the transience and impermanence of all things:

Transience is due to “reasons” and “circumstances” that come together.

You will inevitably die - everyone who is born, without exception, dies.

The Universe itself will undoubtedly disappear, because it too is impermanent and subject to change.

It is not known how long you will live, death will definitely call you.

Seconds, days and nights are fleeting.

They are fleeting because “life,” without a doubt, ends in “death.”

* * *

Six ways to benefit from spiritual teachings:

Cultivate a deep interest in them.

Listen to them.

Rejoice in them.

Honor them.

Ponder them.

Practice them at least a little.

All this will sow the seeds of liberation and put an end to samsara.

* * *

Six consequences of proper practical application of spiritual teachings:

You will be worthy of respect.

You will be worthy of honor.

You will be protected by the gods.

Already in this life there will be a lot of happiness.

After death you will move to higher planes of existence.

Eventually you will achieve perfect enlightenment.

* * *

Without spiritual life you will have six disadvantages:

You will be like a blind old woman, darkened by not recognizing inherent awareness.

You will be like a harlot, cleverly luring people into conditioned existence.

You will be like a fairground onlooker, distracted by the meaningless.

You will be like a child entertained by a nanny, slyly distracted by sensory sensations.

You will be like an overplayed baby, carried away by the rattle of your “I.”

You will be like a fish caught in a net - it will be difficult to break through your confused perception.

So you will waste your human life on trinkets.

* * *

Degeneration of spiritual life is accompanied by six defects:

You will become arrogant towards those who are “below” you.

Your bad reputation will spread everywhere, among men and gods.

Righteous people will shun you like a pot of waste.

Protectors will leave you and many obstacles will arise.

You will not fulfill your plans, and your merits and strength will be depleted.

In future existences you will suffer, being reborn in the lower worlds.

* * *

There are six disadvantages to hope for the future:

If you find yourself in the present position of freedom and opportunity [of human existence] and do not take advantage of them to practice the spiritual path, you will waste your life on distractions.

Death will strike you unexpectedly, as unpredictable as lightning.

After death you will fall into the lower worlds of samsara.

Your mind and body will suffer immensely.

Your memories will only bring regret, thereby causing great suffering.

You will languish in uncertainty, with no chance of liberation.

* * *

There are six horrors of the samsaric worlds:

It is painful to contemplate the suffering of people.

It is terrible to contemplate the suffering of the demigods.

It is unbearable to contemplate the suffering of the gods.

It is painful to contemplate the suffering of animals.

Contemplation of suffering rushing causes shock.

Witnessing the suffering of the creatures of hell is heartbreaking.

This is why it is so important to avoid these six fates.

The favorable time has come, but you are still procrastinating!

* * *

There are six ways to free yourself from these inheritances:

Get rid of the idea that things are permanent, thereby eliminating procrastination and laziness.

Refrain from planning for years to come, and instead devote all your abilities to your current spiritual practice.

Give up your philistine behavior and follow the path of the teachings.

Cleanse yourself of negative karma and the consequences of harmful actions using four forces How antidotes.

With all your might, strive towards two accumulations, using ten methods of spiritual practice.

Include everything in your spiritual path - whether you start, continue or complete.

All this will quickly free you from the conditions of samsara.

* * *

Six mistakes hinder spiritual life:

Those who are prominent in the eyes of society make the mistake of focusing on fame and power, which only serve as a distraction and lead to arrogance.

Venerable monks make the mistake of becoming involved in worldly affairs.

Teachers make a mistake by wasting their lives in theorizing.

Tantric practitioners make the mistake of allowing the mind to be poisoned by the five poisonous emotions.

Zealous meditators make the mistake of using immoral means to secure their livelihood.

Ordinary people are mistaken when they trust their confused perceptions.

It is imperative to avoid these mistakes and dedicate yourself to spiritual practice.

* * *

There are six sure-fire ways to benefit:

Listen to the instructions that are given by the Teacher out of love for you.

Study the scriptures containing the words of the Victorious One 2
Buddha Shakyamuni.

You can trust them with everything.

Day and night, even when you are not specifically practicing, dedicate to good things and avoid harmful things.

Reflect on the interdependence of cause and effect: where will you end up in your next life?

Let go of attachments and clinging, do not worry about your body and belongings.

Let the tantras, clarifying commentaries and oral instructions inspire your mind.

By following these instructions, you will soon achieve Buddhahood.

* * *

There are six ways to identify what is most urgent:

Find out whether worldly goals are truly beneficial.

Realize that when you die, you will leave behind all your accumulated wealth.

Observe how the “good” you have done is sometimes responded to with “evil.”

Notice that you remain alone among so many “others.”

Realize that the gains and losses of this life will not help at the time of death.

Understand that when you die, fame, power and influence will be left behind.

Having considered the state of affairs, apply it to your inner experience.

* * *

There are six great trials that you should never regret:

Even if you have to die while undergoing difficulties on the path of spiritual teaching, do not regret it.

Even if you have to take a low position and be subordinate, do not regret it.

Even if you have to leave your homeland, having lost fame, do not regret it.

Even if you have to give up wealth and undergo hunger for the sake of dharma, do not regret it.

Even if you have to, leaving harmful actions, fall into the lower spheres 3
This may refer to a bodhisattva's ability to be reborn in a lower realm to benefit its beings.

Don't regret it.

* * *

Six kinds of people are unfit for dharma, far from it:

One who cannot practice [dharma] because he is like a pig, indiscriminately devouring everything that comes in its way.

Who cannot live with people because he is like a proud peacock.

Those who miss opportunities that arise because they are like a boulder that cannot be moved.

Who tries to please everyone and therefore cannot keep his vows - samaya, because it is like grass, bent by the wind in all directions.

Who cannot curb the mind, mired in vice and malice, because he is like a snake.

Who cannot remain focused on his practice because he is like a monkey, unable to sit still for a little while.


Whose dull intellect cannot understand the dharma because it is like an ox.

It is vitally important to practice and not be one!

* * *

There are six ways to avoid the fate of the above-described unsuitable recipients of teachings:

Make sure that the bustle of life does not consume you, this is the gate that opens the path to clouding of consciousness.

Be inspired by what is truly good, make truth your constant goal, such inspiration is excellent.

Cast out the vile demons of pride and self-importance.

Take a low position, it will lead to spiritual achievement.

Get rid of the hordes Mar and clinging to antidotes as supposedly self-sufficient.

See the thoughts that arise as allies, and bad omens as a sign of prosperity.

All this will make you a noble recipient of dharma.

* * *

There are six methods of concentration that bring spiritual practice to completion:

Feel the Lord of Death as a killer stalking you.

Be like a wife who is disappointed in a bad husband, feel the same disappointment in samsara.

Feel the same disgust for distorted perception as for vomit offered under the guise of food.

Feel the same disgust for ordinary affairs as for those who loved you and suddenly betrayed you.

Feel the same indifference to worldly callings as to a wasteland that has died out from frost.

Feel the same disgust for naive attachment to friends and [other worldly] relationships as you once did in childhood, when someone [close to you] suddenly became your “enemy.”

Only by following these instructions can you successfully complete the practice of the sacred dharma.

* * *

People who lack this approach do this:

Although they receive spiritual teachings, they can only talk about spiritual topics.

Although they may theorize about learning, they learn only out of a desire to win the competition.

Although they can meditate, their minds remain attached to ordinary ideas.

Although they may think, in reality they only seek rewards in the form of food and wealth.

Although they may remain secluded, they are absorbed in their thoughts and emotions.

Although they can follow the instructions and support their correct execution, they only feed their negative emotions.

* * *

There are six ways to explore yourself:

Investigate whether you have cut off connections with the samsaric state.

Examine whether you feel affection for friends and aversion for enemies.

Examine whether your behavior is for the benefit of the practice.

Examine when you meditate whether the signs of successful practice are fully manifest.

See if your conviction decreases as you try to benefit others. 4
For example, if you are not thanked for your help or if your advice does not help, but leads to the opposite result.

When you die, observe whether there is an experience of pure visions.

If you pay attention to this, it means you have taken the best advice correctly.

* * *

You shun dharma as a result of six shortcomings:

Because of the reluctance to remember one's mortality and to achieve the great goal [of transcending it].

Because of the refusal to realize that the struggle for position in society and power is an empty temptation.

Because of the unwillingness to understand that you will ultimately leave your beloved friends and relationships in society.

Because of the refusal to recognize the meaninglessness of the thirst for pleasure.

Because of the unwillingness to realize that the accumulated wealth will eventually be lost.

Because of laziness in meditation and other practices and refusal to see impermanence [of phenomena].

My advice is to avoid these shortcomings.

* * *

There are six ways to tune the mind to dharma:

If you had removed the fixation on “yourself”, naturally, just as you would have calmly removed the shroud from some corpse in a gorge.

Saturate your mind with compassion, feeling like a mother loving her only child.

Let positive qualities arise naturally, just as grass [grows spontaneously] from the ground in summer.

In your zeal, be unstoppable, like a war machine in action.

Allow your confused perceptions to unravel naturally, like a snake unraveling the knot of its body.

Return to the natural stay in a completely natural way, just as a hero returns home.

One who has the fullness of such qualities can be called a truly excellent spiritual practitioner.

* * *

Six points relate to the anti-dharma delusion:

It is so difficult to get rid of a mind attached to samsara.

It is so easy to become distracted from awareness when there is not even a small level of realization.

So extremely treacherous are tempting objects six faculties of consciousness.

The meaningless flow of samsara seems so smooth.

The allotted time is ending, the days and nights are flying by so quickly.

So you waste your life on endless things, the meaning of which is insignificant.

ABOUT! Explore the above and put the sacred dharma into practice!

* * *

There are six ways to find what really matters:

Ask yourself: “Where is the point of delusion where I begin to harbor attachment and aversion that quickly seduce me?”

“When will my mind and body finally become part of the path, what exactly is their purpose?”

“What will happen when I “borrow” the four elements again?”

“What will I do when the feelings of this life die away?”

“What will I do when I have to leave illusory prosperity?”

| Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu

Longchen Rabjam
Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu

Translator's Preface

We bring to your attention an outstanding text by the omniscient Longchenpa (1308-1363), known as the “Treasury of Dharmadhatu”.

Longchen Rabjam is unanimously recognized as the most realized and erudite Master in the entire centuries-old history of the Tibetan Nyingma tradition, and in particular Dzogchen. Longchen Rabjam has always been, is and will be the most perfect example of an enlightened Master, Scientist and Saint in the context of Buddhism.

His whole life was filled with amazing miracles, but his main miracle is embodied in his works, which he left behind. The corpus of his teachings contains more than 270 texts, but most have been lost over the centuries.

Fortunately, Longchenpa's most significant and outstanding works have reached us. The "Seven Treasures of Longchenpa" (Longchen Dzodun) are the embodiment of his realization of the teachings of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen). Each of these Treasures is unique and inimitable, and I pray to all the masters of the Dzogchen lineage that all these texts will sooner or later become available to Russian practitioners.

With nothing but deep faith and devotion to Longchenpa and his teachings, I have ventured to translate the most outstanding text from the Seven Treasures in order to begin the translation of the rest of the wonderful texts of this great Master.

“Treasury of Dharmadhatu” is a masterpiece of masterpieces, a copy of its realization. Among all of Longchenpa's works, this text is revered the most. The mere fact that it is in Russian means that the Russian language has received the blessing of the Dharmakai. No matter what other language this text is translated into, the blessing of the Dharmakaya is automatically transmitted to the entire nation and its language.

It is for this reason that I dared to translate “Treasury of Dharmadhatu” into Russian. Pronouncing such lofty words, I realize all the responsibility that lies with me for the correctness of the translation. When translating the text, I made every effort to ensure that the translation corresponded to the meaning of the words and, in particular, to the detailed commentary of the author.

I tried to ensure that the translation did not sound like dry abstruse words, and for this I translated the text in a long-term Dzogchen retreat, meditating for a long time on the meaning of each sentence before translating it. This text was my additional practice during the retreat, as a result of which the translation process itself lasted almost six months.

Contrary to the rules, I did not assign anyone to edit this text, because this text is not a product of mental creativity and does not intend to be translated, edited and read within the framework of ordinary reason. This text has one goal - to awaken in the reader an awareness of the nature of the mind, and any attempts to fit it into your ideas will only reduce the chances of awareness to zero.

Since I can’t imagine which of the Russian editors was able to spend at least six months in a Treccio retreat editing this translation, I preferred to leave it in my own editorial office and on my own conscience. However, I realize that my translation cannot be completely perfect, if only because the Russian language lacks many adequate words and terms found in the original.

One way or another, in the translation it was necessary to use inappropriate philosophical terms, English and Sanskrit borrowings and other gags. Therefore, I sincerely repent to Longchenpa, all the masters and defenders of Dzogchen, as well as to readers (especially critics) for unwittingly distorting the pristine beauty, elegance and poetry of the original.

I would never have undertaken this translation if I had not had the blessings of the actual Dzogchen lineage holders. Also, I would never have undertaken this (and do not recommend it to other Russian translators) if I did not have knowledge of the text itself, Longchenpa’s other works and his specific terminology.

By the way, the entire root text is written in verse, and according to the rules of “poetry” of the Tibetan Masters, it is not at all necessary to follow even basic grammatical rules. They justify this by the secrecy of the texts - “those who need it will understand, but others don’t need to know it at all.” Therefore, even for an ordinary Tibetan such a text will not reveal much meaning if you do not know what it is about.

If I translated the root text word for word and as concisely as it sounds in Tibetan, then readers would accuse me of illiteracy. The most difficult thing in translation was precisely the preservation of poetic expressions and their compatibility with the norms of the Russian language.

Please keep in mind that the root text was written almost seven hundred years ago and even for modern Tibetan Lamas it sounds about the same as “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” for you. The original sounds very condensed, symbolic and secretive.

This is the norm in all root texts in Dzogchen, especially in the section of the Secret Instructions (Mengak-de). The root texts of Dzogchen must sound incomprehensible! I tried to translate the root text as clearly as possible so that the reader would have at least a small idea of ​​what we are talking about.

Don't be disappointed if some words don't make sense to you. They are not easy for ordinary people to understand. Longchenpa himself mentioned in this text that “the themes of this work are so profound that ordinary people will have difficulty comprehending their meaning...”

For this text to open the gates of meaning for you, it is important to read it with devotion to it and to Longchenpa himself, to begin reading with the development of Bodhichitta motivation and to read these words without adjusting them to your limited concepts and ideas. Many great Dzogchen Masters gained realization from Longchenpa's texts, particularly from the Treasury of Dharmadhatu.

But the main factor in their implementation was devotion to Longchenpa, and not the number of works read. For example, Vydyadhara Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798) said: “When I read Longchenpa’s texts, I realized that he was the Buddha, the “second Buddha,” and a genuine devotion to him arose in my mind. I prayed to him from the depths of my heart, as a result of which he showed me his Body of Wisdom (Jnanakaya).

Self-arising realization took possession of my mind. Since that time I have given instructions to hundreds of people who have come. Those who were overzealous and harbored hopes and fears did not advance beyond ordinary meditation. Too abstruse intellectuals remained with their concepts and judgments. Realization of the absolute is born only in those who follow the path of devotion." Jigme Lingpa himself counted the number of mantras recited only when he was in tears of devotion.

I received an oral transmission on this text in retreat from Lopon Jigme Rinpoche, who currently heads the Dzogchen Monastery of His Holiness Chatral Rinpoche. He kindly explained this text to me. Although the idea of ​​translating this text had been around for a long time, I did not dare to do so until I clearly saw favorable signs for this particular translation.

I think the reason for these signs was my deep devotion to Longchenpa and his teachings. Some Khenpos even gave me the nickname “Longchenpa’s Disciple.” Due to inexplicable circumstances, in 2001 I received this magnificent text as a gift three times.

The first time it was given to me by an American friend Brian, the second time it was given to me by Venerable Katok Situ Rinpoche (grandson of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche and terton incarnation of Dudjom Lingpa and Katok Mahapandita) along with Jigme Rinpoche. For the third time, on behalf of the American publishers and from her heart, it was presented to me by Paloma Landry (translator of Chagdud Tulku and owner of His American Center).

Having already received the text, the rights, and the blessing of the Lamas, I decided to take on the translation and asked for a personal blessing at the monastery of His Holiness Chatral Rinpoche. Imagine my amazement when the Vajra Master sent me a personal copy of Chatral Rinpoche’s text on retreat! As I held the blessed text wrapped in old cloth in my hands, tears flowed from my eyes. After this, I decided to donate the proceeds to the construction of Chatral Rinpoche's new retreat center, which, apparently, will be the last project in His life.

Without the kindness and blessings of the above-mentioned people, this book would not have been published. I am especially grateful to Paloma Landry, whose kindness and love inspired me to translate and publish this book. Special thanks to all Russian, Israeli and Ukrainian friends who provided their time, money and effort in publishing the book. May these great words dispel the darkness of ignorance in all who read them! May all the merit from this work and its reading by others go to the benefit of all beings!

Having heard only one word from such a text,
Your samsaric experience cannot help but be destroyed.
Given a chance to read it in full,
What do you even have to think about to throw it aside?

Listen! Tripitaka and the Teachings of the Nine Paths
Mainly intended for diligent people.
By declaring that you have become “liberated” through effort, meditation and practice,
You will still not see the awakening that is beyond affirmation and refutation.

This vajra apogee, transcending effort and rational thinking,
It is enlightenment without meditation, a space of naked empty awareness.
In the absence of intellectual clinging to meditation and effortful practice
Even a lazy person recognizes the Dharmakaya in him.

Only the omniscient Dharmakaya Master teaches this path.

Immediately destroying your clouded experience.

Then you will be freed from clinging to your arousal.
The deepest realization of the omniscient Master will reveal to you
An all-encompassing primordial space where there is no room for appropriation or rejection.

Read this text, and you will be left with this preoccupation with inert materiality.
A relaxed perception will bring you satisfaction in whatever you do.
Without straining yourself with fears and anticipations, your meditation will proceed easily and simply.

This text is both Madhyamika and Paramita;
And “Cutting off” (Chod) and “Pacifying” (Shijeh);
And Mahamudra and Dzogchen, -
By uniting all these teachings, he rises above each of them.

If you consider yourself followers of the omniscient Lama,
Never be separated from this beautiful text.
It is quite sufficient to rely on it to support awareness.
I swear that there is no one like this absolute support.

It will delight your mind in the moment and in the end it will enable you to achieve enlightenment.
Without bothering you, he will break the intellectual shackles.
Grounding you in excitement and comforting you in trouble,
This wonderful text is the only friend who will never let you down.

So sing it like a song, choosing a tune.
Rhyming it stanza by stanza, read it until it stays in your memory.
Never being separated from him,
Your deluded samsaric experience will crumble into small pieces.

After the line of blessing crosses over you, this is the key point of realization,
An inexpressible awakening will arise from within you.
Having seen the true face of the omniscient Dharmakaya Master,
There will be no end to your happiness in the bliss of the Foundation.

Apart from reading this text, you may not do other practices,
For he is the essence of meditation and all sadhanas.
As long as you read this excellent text,
Realization of the Dharmakaya will rise by itself.

And read this best text in free emancipation.
Convinced that there is nothing deeper than the meaning expressed in it,
Relax in a natural state.

You don't have to strain yourself trying to find the meaning of the words,
Like in the hard-to-understand works of abstruse thinkers.
Just combine the text with the mind in a natural state,
And the naked openness will open limitlessly.

This is the direct introduction, your inherent wakefulness.
This is the personal instruction of the omniscient Master.
This text is a real dedication, it expresses what needs to be expressed.
It is quite enough to use it as an essential practice.

There is nothing deeper than that.
This is a treasury of blessings, the Teaching of the Essence.
This is the teacher himself, the Buddha in the palms of your hands.

Even if I had been praising its uniqueness for millions of years,
There would be no end to the inspiration of my little mind.
What can we say about the eloquence of other great sages?!
No path can please the Noble Ones so much.

Listen! Now that you're lucky
To meet such a great jewel,
You won’t be particularly bored, even while in samsara.
Isn't it enough to have an open mind and faith?

Dear friends, when this text met your minds,
Find the mind in a free and relaxed state.
Relax your mind with this text, releasing all tension and anxiety.
Cut off the twitches in it for many other teachings.

What is the use of many interesting treatises?
What is the use of a lot of deep instructions?
What is the use of many complex practices?
What good is a lot of dogmatic preaching?

This is the easiest one, where you just need to relax.
This is the carefree happiness of self-liberation.
This is the best text, the knowledge of which liberates everything.
This instruction is the very “only bridge that spans all rivers.”

Hey, don't look everywhere for it when you have it lying around your house!
Hey, don't collect the husks and throw away the core itself!
Hey, don't stress yourself by neglecting the effortless method!
Hey, don't load yourself up with fuss and forget about inaction!

Once you have entered the lineage of the omniscient Master,
You inherited this wonderful text from your father,
Who left behind such an excellent path.
If you want to relax, this is just the place!

Listen! Listen! How great is the kindness of the Three Lines!
What incredible luck to come across such a wonderful text!
What a great privilege to practice this better way!
Enlightenment is within you! Truly! Truly!

On this beautiful path, pleasing the Victorious,
Merge your minds with the Dharma, my dear friends.
This is my heartfelt advice, keep it in your hearts.
If you hold it in your heart, you can make it your essence.

I, a lost and careless ragamuffin,
I don’t like to rant on topics I don’t understand.
But in the texts transmitted by the omniscient Master,
I have both confidence and experience.

Caught in the flames of the five poisons, I wander in the bondage of distraction.
But even for a hopeless sinner like me, whose clouded perception cannot be purified,
Samsara experience falls apart,
When I hear and read this beautiful text.

To such fortunate people as you, who observe samaya and have a stable mind with a small amount of the five emotional poisons,
Reading this text will certainly bring the highest wisdom of the lineage of blessing.
You can be sure of this!

Whoever the light of blessing touches
Omniscient Lama, Perfect Buddha,
Realization embraces simultaneously with liberation, which becomes obvious.
Therefore, the omniscient Lama is the ancestor of hundreds of siddhas.

Great Lord of the Realized Lhatsun (Namkhai Naljor),
Vidyadhara Jigme Lingpa, who was filled with spontaneous wisdom,
As well as the lord of the teaching Terchen Lama (Gyurme Dorje) and others
We received a line of blessing from the texts of the Omniscient.

Keep this order, dear friends!
If you also treat excellent words
Omniscient (like them), then you will receive the wisdom of the absolute line.
May you be liberated in the sphere of His realization, the space of suchness!

This was said by Paltrul.
Sarva Mangalam.

PRECIOUS TREASURY OF DHARMADHATU

In Sanskrit: DHARMADHATU RATNA KOSH NAMA

In Tibetan: CHOS dbYINGS RINPOCHEY mDZO CHE BYA VA

[From the conclusion of “The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu”]



According to the meaning of the canon according to:

With twenty one gears
Section of the Mind,

and four cycles
Section of Secret Instructions.

Prologue

Praise be to the magnificent Samantabhadra!
Self-existent wakefulness, luminous awakened mind
Present spontaneously as an amazing and amazing phenomenon from time immemorial.
This well, from which everything that appears and exists in samsara and nirvana arises,
I offer praise in unwavering simplicity.

The apogee of spiritual paths, rising in the sphere of the Sun, Moon and the royal mountain,
Is the space of the spontaneously present and luminous vajra essence.
Listen to the description of this primordially endless and amazing space,
Which is naturally present without the need for effort or achievement.

Chapter 1
[Showing that samsara and nirvana do not leave the main space.]

  1. The basis of everything arising from the sphere of spontaneous presence
    Empty in its essence and continuous in nature,
    It is not anything at all, expressed in anything.
    Although samsara and nirvana come from the realm of the three kayas,
    They do not leave the main space, the blissful world of natural phenomena.
  2. The nature of mind is the unchanging celestial state of great space.
    Its vague manifestation is expressed in the illusory play of compassionate resonance,
    And all this is nothing more than decoration of the main space.
    The external and internal processes of evolution and involution are the energy of the awakened mind.
    Such magic deserves admiration and amazement,
    Because the complete absence of anything arises in anything.
  3. All external and internal phenomena and life forms
    They arise in the sphere of the enlightened Body, being an adornment of the main space.
    All sounds and voices, without exception, no matter how many there are,
    They arise in the sphere of enlightened Speech, being an adornment of the main space.
    All mental projections and movements, as well as unimaginable non-conceptual states
    They arise in the sphere of the enlightened Mind, being an adornment of the main space.
  4. Six types of beings, born in four ways,
    They do not leave Dharmadhatu even for a moment.
    All kinds of experiences of dualistic perception, manifested in the six sense objects,
    Occur in the state of Dharmadhatu in the form of a non-existent illusion.
    Groundless, transparent, initially empty and very spacious, -
    They are naturally clear “as they are,” appearing as an ornament to the Dharmadhatu.
  5. However things may seem and sound in this great range of basic space,
    Their spontaneous equanimity does not part with the awakened mind of the Dharmakaya.
    Since their original presence is naturally empty and not subject to change or transformation,
    They all arise in the state of self-existent wakefulness, that is, in the nature of phenomena,
    Falling into a single space of bliss without labor or effort.
  6. Sambhogakaya is unshakable natural clarity.
    Its nature is spontaneously present in everything that appears.
    Without corrections or changes, as an all-encompassing spontaneous equanimity.
  7. In the process of various and diverse manifestations (energy)
    The emanations of the Nirmanakaya naturally appear as amazing magic,
    Without leaving the all-good state of inaction.
  8. In the most awakened mind, devoid of flaws,
    The three Kayas are spontaneously present effortlessly in complete and uncreated perfection,
    Without leaving the main space.
    Spontaneous perfection of Kais, wisdoms and activities -
    This is the great abundance of the highest sphere of primordial perfection, which arose from time immemorial.
  9. This unchanging world has been spontaneously present from time immemorial.
    Contemplating the nature of phenomena in the state of Dharmadhatu,
    Your wisdom rises continuously as the decoration of the main space.
    She is present in him initially in an uncreated and uncreated form,
    Like the sun in the sky - amazing and wonderful.
  10. In this womb of timeless and spontaneously present space,
    Samsara is completely beautiful, completely beautiful and nirvana, -
    In the realm of Samantabhadra there was never samsara or nirvana.
    Phenomena are completely beautiful, emptiness is also completely beautiful, -
    In the realm of Samantabhadra there was never any appearance or emptiness.
    Birth and death are completely beautiful, happiness and suffering are completely beautiful, -
    In the realm of Samantabhadra there is neither birth and death, nor happiness and suffering.
    One’s own and someone else’s are completely beautiful, completely beautiful (the views of) constancy and nihilism, -
    In the sphere of Samantabhadra there is neither egoism and alienation, nor constancy and nihilism.
  11. By perceiving the non-existent as existing, you call things in error.
    While the nature of samsara and nirvana is unsupported and like a dream,
    Isn't it strange to cling to their reality?!
  12. Everything is completely beautiful, being a great spontaneous presence.
    Since there never was, is not and never will be a delusion,
    That “conditioned being” is just a label - it is beyond the extremes of existence and non-existence.
    Since no one has been mistaken before,
    Then no one is mistaken now and no one will be mistaken in the future.
    This is the realization of the primordial purity of the three worlds of existence.
  13. Since there is no delusion, there is even more so no absence of delusion.
    The great self-existent awareness has been spontaneously present from time immemorial.
    Since there has never been liberation, there is no and there never will be,
    Then nirvana is also just a label, because no one was liberated.
    Where will liberation come from if there has never been imprisonment?
    Heaven-like purity does not fall into limitations or extremes -
    This is the originally pure realization of complete freedom.
  14. So, whatever manifestations of samsara and nirvana arise from the energy of awareness
    In the open womb of a spontaneously present space,
    Samsara and nirvana do not exist from the very moment of their origin.
    Whatever dreams appear during sleep,
    They don't really exist.
    Self-realization, the cradle of bliss, completely embraces
    Great openness of its spontaneous equanimity.

This is the first chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
showing that samsara and nirvana do not leave the main space.

Chapter 2
[Showing the pure dimension of everything that appears and exists.]

  1. The nature of the basic space, spontaneously present from time immemorial,
    Fills everything without dividing into external and internal.
    It has no limit, no up and down, no cardinal directions,
    Neither latitude nor longitude - heavenly pure awareness
    And there is that very space, devoid of mental projections and landmarks.
  2. All illusory things emanating from unborn space,
    Absolutely not defined and not limited by anything.
    They cannot be defined as “something,” because they have neither substance nor characteristic features.
    Their unborn nature, vast as the sky,
    Spontaneously present without beginning or end, beyond past and future time.
  3. The awakened mind is the essence of everything and nirvana.
    Beyond birth, appearance and determination, he is spontaneously present,
    Without coming or going anywhere.
    The space of the awakened mind, indivisible into the past and the future,
    It extends to everything, neither arising nor disappearing.
  4. The Suchness of Dharmata has no beginning, no middle, no end.
    Her all-encompassing nature, pure as the sky,
    It is beyond past and future, beginning and end.
    It is devoid of substance and characteristics, birth and cessation.
    It does not come and does not go, and cannot be designated as “something like that.”
    It does not require achievement, effort or any action.
    At the core of suchness there is no center, no sides, no dimensions.
    This sphere of equanimity is continuous and devoid of orientation.
  5. Due to the equal nature of all phenomena
    There is nothing that is not in the sphere of its equanimity.
    The state of the awakened mind, in whose unified equanimity everything is equal,
    Completely embraces everything with its openness, like the unborn sky,
    For the state of equanimity is continuous.
  6. Its all-encompassing strength is spontaneously present beyond directions.
    The open fortress of primordial space has no top, bottom or middle.
    The strength of the unborn Dharmakaya fills everything without limitation.
    The strength of the precious sacrament is spontaneously present without change.
    Everything that manifests and exists in samsara and nirvana is completely in the primordial strength of one equanimity.
  7. On this endless foundation, spreading in all directions,
    The citadel of the awakened mind, not inclined towards samsara or nirvana,
    Rising to the peak of the open space of the nature of phenomena.
    In the open center of the four sides of this uncreated nature
    The gate is wide open, leading to freedom from consistent effort.
  8. On the throne in this (palace) sits the king of self-existent awakening,
    Decorated with outfits of spontaneously present luxury.
    All outgoing and gathering manifestations of awakening energy
    Serve as ministers in charge of the kingdom.
    Beautiful Queen of Naturally Present Meditation
    Together with the princes and the retinue of self-emerging realization
    Fill the space of great bliss, in which natural clarity is devoid of concepts.
  9. To this unshakable state, inexpressible in words and unimaginable in the mind,
    Everything that appears and exists in the universe is subordinated -
    Such is the vast domain of the open space of Dharmadhatu.
  10. For one who is in this possession, everything is Dharmakaya.
    Without leaving the only self-existent wakefulness,
    Efforts and achievements remain beyond the uncreated primordial perfection.
    Since the spherical bindu of existence is devoid of curved corners and edges,
    Its space is filled with everything without exception “as it is.”
  11. Both the worlds of the six types of beings and the pure lands of Buddhas
    They are located in the sphere of space of the nature of phenomena, and not anywhere else.
    Samsara and nirvana are contained in a state of awareness,
    Having one taste in the natural clarity of the awakened mind.
  12. In this treasury of Dharmadhatu, from which everything comes,
    Nirvana has been spontaneously present from time immemorial without the need to seek,
    So in the all-encompassing, immaterial and unchanging Dharmakaya
    Sambhogakaya is experienced in the form of the external world and its beings,
    And the Nirmanakaya naturally arises like reflections.
    Since there is nothing imperfect in the decoration of the three Kayas,
    Then everything rises in the manifestation of the enlightened Body, Speech and Mind.
    And the countless pure worlds of Sugat
    And even more so they arise from the same space of the three Kayas - the nature of the mind.
  13. Even the abodes of the six types of beings, which constitute the nature of samsara, are
    These are only reflections arising from the state of Dharmadhatu.
    Moreover, all kinds of experiences of birth and death, happiness and suffering
    Like an illusory performance in this space of the nature of the mind.
    Although they are not there, it seems as if they are, but due to their groundlessness
    They appear only temporarily and conditionally, like clouds in the sky.
    Since their nature is beyond the extremes of existence and non-existence,
    They are completely assembled in a state of bindu simplicity.
  14. The nature of the mind, namely the awakened mind,
    Pure as the sky and knows neither birth and death, nor happiness and suffering.
    It has no discernible substance - it is free from both samsara and nirvana.
    Since this absolutely open sphere of space cannot be designated as “something”,
    Then it is present spontaneously, unconditionally, unchangeably and motionless.
    Buddhahood is in the vajra essence of clear light,
    Where everything is a self-existent world of bliss.
    This is the state of the highest awakening of spontaneous equanimity.

This is the second chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
showing the pure dimension of everything that appears and exists.

Chapter 3
[Demonstrating the analogies of the awakened mind.]

  1. The all-encompassing awakened mind contains everything.
    Because there's nothing he doesn't include,
    All phenomena are of the nature of the awakened mind.
  2. If the awakened mind can be exemplified, it is analogous to space.
    Since the mind is not derived and has no cause,
    His non-existence is beyond the realm of imagination and expression.
    What we call “heavenly space” is only an attempt at metaphorical designation.
    Even if this analogy has nothing concrete behind it,
    How can one even express the meaning it denotes?
    This should be understood as an example of natural purity.
  3. The meaning of this analogy refers to self-awareness, the awakened mind like space.
    It is beyond descriptions and designations and does not lie in the sphere of thoughts.
    Still natural clarity of open space of clear light
    Present in uncreated spontaneity beyond latitude and longitude,
    Being the open center of the essence of the awakening of the Dharmakaya.
  4. A visual sign (of this meaning) appears from energy (awareness) in anything.
    When something arises, there is neither a place of origin nor something that arises;
    “Emergence” is just a conventional name, which when considered is like space.
    The sphere of all-encompassing wholeness, devoid of dualistic perception,
    Completely contained in the great nature of unprejudiced equanimity.
  5. The limitless nature of phenomena, self-existent wakefulness,
    Demonstrated using analogy, meaning, and a visual sign for metaphorical designation.
    The heavenly essence of these three great aspects
    Completely includes everything without exception or difference.
    In the bosom of the wide-open space of holistic equanimity
    Everything is initially equal - there is no good or bad, no past, no future.
    This is the realization of Samantabhadra and Vajrasattva.
  6. The awakened mind is like the sun,
    His natural luminosity was never created.
    He is spontaneously and unimpededly present, without obscurations.
    This non-conceptual state of phenomena is devoid of mental complexities.
  7. Its emptiness is the Dharmakaya, its clarity is the Sambhogakaya,
    And his effulgence is the Nirmanakaya; these three Kayas are indivisible.
    Since enlightened qualities are spontaneously present in perfection,
    They are not darkened by the darkness of flaws and vices.
    They are one throughout three times without change.
    They embrace all beings and Buddhas equally.
    This is called the “self-existent awakened mind.”
  8. His energy can be expressed in anything -
    Both in thoughts and in their absence, in everything that manifests and exists in the universe,
    In all kinds of experiences of beings.
  9. Although they all arise, none of them is of a separate nature.
    They are only transient, groundless and unfounded phenomena,
    Which clearly appear, but do not exist as such,
    Like a mirage of water, a dream, an echo, magic,
    Reflection, city of Gandharvas or hallucination.
    They should be understood as temporary and random phenomena.
  10. The Spontaneously Present Nature of the Awakened Mind
    Finds itself in the continuous manifestation of the illusions of samsara and nirvana.
    Since all these illusions are completely collected in the main space,
    You must know that they do not leave the original state.
  11. Everything is awakened mind.
    Everything is perfect in one perfection—such is the uncreated universal perfection.
    Self-existent wakefulness is spontaneously perfect in nature.
  12. In the unmanifest reality of the awakened mind
    There is no such thing as samsara and nirvana, there is no external (world) and (life forms) within it,
    However, the natural impulses of his energy
    They arise in various manifestations of what appears and exists in samsara and nirvana.
  13. Simply arising, things are empty forms in nature.
    They seem to be born from unborn space,
    But in reality nothing is born, even when it seems so to you.
    They seem to disappear in a continuous state,
    But nothing really disappears; it is just a deceptive game of emptiness.
    When they remain, the very fact of such existence is absent, -
    In a state where nothing leaves or comes, all abiding is groundless.
    They do not exist to the same extent that they appear,
    Therefore, we have no choice but to call them “devoid of an independent nature.”
  14. Because phenomena naturally arise from energy (awareness).
    Their nature is purely symbolically called "dependent origination."
    When they seem to emerge from this energy,
    It is impossible for them to distinguish between arising and non-occurring,
    And even this “energy” is just a symbol that has no essence.
    Therefore, everything is forever in an unchanged state,
    Without leaving the awakened mind for a moment.

This is the third chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating the analogies of the awakened mind.

Chapter 4
[Demonstrating the nature of the awakened mind.]

  1. This is the nature of the all-encompassing awakened mind,
    In the fact that it is not manifested, for it is beyond manifestations,
    But it is not empty either, since it is beyond the emptiness.
    It does not exist because it has no substance and characteristics,
    But it is not absent either, for it permeates all samsara and nirvana.
    Spontaneously equal primordial space does not know existence and non-existence,
    There are no extremes, no divisions, no substance, no basis.
  2. Continuous awareness is the realm of enlightenment.
    This initially all-encompassing celestial space is not subject to change or transformation.
    Self-existent wakefulness, which has no other,
    Contained in a single bindu beyond birth and disappearance.
    Vague and all-encompassing, it is completely devoid of any extremes or limitations.
  3. Spontaneously Equatorial Inheritance of the Vajra Essence
    Inseparable from the supreme state of boundless fundamental space,
    Which is inaccessible to verbal designations.
    Personal self-awareness overflows with wisdom
    Those yogis who are free from mental and verbal clutter,
    And we are sure that there is nothing to attribute or unsubscribe here.
    Since they know neither meditation nor the object of meditation,
    They are freed from the need to fight the “enemies” of thoughts, drowsiness and agitation.
  4. The nature of phenomena, inherited by you from time immemorial,
    Not subject to concepts about yourself and others,
    Therefore, those same three worlds (samsaras) are nothing other than naturally pure lands of equanimity.
  5. The victorious of the three times have pure vision.
    In the unified integrity of all things, where there is nothing to reject or accept,
    There is not the slightest particle acquired from somewhere outside.
    All phenomena are evident in this great space of the nature of the mind,
    Without leaving the equal reality for a moment.
  6. In the absence of restless appearance and disappearance (of thoughts), separation into external and internal
    An awakened mind completely eliminates the darkness of extreme concepts.
    When there is nothing to reject, potential errors are eliminated spontaneously.
  7. Due to realization or lack of realization (awareness)
    His energy continuously manifests either in pure Kayas and the wisdom of enlightenment,
    Either in the various experiences of the creatures of this mortal world,
    Filling the entire heavenly space.
    Either you have realization in the state of Dharmadhatu, or you don’t, -
    Through realization you get the pure vision of Sugath,
    And due to the lack of realization, you imagine various experiences,
    Conditioned by ignorance and tendencies of dualistic perception, which nevertheless do not leave the main space.
  8. The awakened mind is the real basis of all existence.
    Its continuous property is manifested in the emerging diversity,
    While its natural clarity is evident in the underlying space of the pure nature of phenomena.
    There are no exceptions or divisions in it—this is the “gait” of unlimited awareness.
  9. Unobstructed wakefulness is a self-existent open space,
    Which is luminous without darkness, both external and internal,
    Therefore, self-awareness is (called) “the great light in the mirror of the mind.”
    In the precious all-fulfilling gem Dharmadhatu
    Everything arises naturally without the need for searching,
    So self-existent wakefulness is the wonderful source of everything desired.
  10. No matter how many great enlightened qualities you count,
    All of them arise from the main space, ascending in the continuity of the highest Method (upaya).
    Since everything is spontaneously perfect in the unborn basic space,
    The awakened space of emptiness eclipses matter,
    Whereas the awakened space of self-awareness eclipses emptiness.
  11. In the awakened mind there was never any appearance or emptiness, -
    Unimaginable illusions arise without requiring you to cling to non-duality.
    The unborn Dharmadhatu, free from the conventions of those times,
    It is uncreated, unchanging and indivisible space.
    Enlightenment in any of the three times occurs in the basic space of awakened awareness.
    The awakened sphere of self-awareness eclipses dualistic perception.
    The spontaneous openness of the nature of phenomena is indivisible into external and internal.

This is the fourth chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating the nature of the awakened mind.

Chapter 5
[Taking you beyond effort, achievement and cause and effect.]

  1. In the essence of the awakened mind, that is, in the nature of the mind
    There is no view to meditate on, no behavior to follow;
    There is no fruit to be achieved, no paths and booms to be traversed;
    No mandala to visualize, no recitation and completion stage;
    There is no initiation to be received, no samaya to be observed.
    The pure nature of phenomena, spontaneously present from time immemorial,
    Is beyond cause and effect, temporary and sequential efforts.
  2. The awakened mind is the essence of all these aspects.
    The sun naturally shines in the uncreated sky
    Without the clouds of darkness and fleeting clouds.
  3. Any of the ten aspects of Dharma, based on effort and achievement,
    Taught in connection with temporary delusion arising from energy (awareness),
    As a means of gradually introducing (people whose intellectual) abilities require methodological effort.
    They are not taught to those who truly participate
    To the meaning of the vajra essence of Ati yoga “as it is.”
  4. In order to lead to the original space of the nature of phenomena
    Those who advance gradually through effort,
    Three smaller stages were taught
    Paths for Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas and Bodhisattvas.
    Three (tantras) Kriya, Upa and Yoga
    Naturally present as three middle levels.
  5. Three stages of Maha, Anu and Ati (yoga)
    Initially they are the three highest levels.
    Opening a way out of the doctrines of cause and effect teachings,
    They lead worthy beings to the three dimensions of awakening.
  6. The vajra essence is the culmination of these paths.
    All of them certainly come down to this great and amazing mystery.
    The summit of all (paths) is the unchanging supreme luminosity,
    Called the "essence chariot of manifest awakening."
  7. Of the two categories of Dharma, the first contains the principles of assimilation and rejection through effort.
    It is taught to purify the tendencies of the mind and mental factors,
    Which by nature arise as a manifestation of energy (awareness).
    It states that awakening is (the product of) the purification of the ordinary mind.
  8. The (second) great category of Dharma is effortless in assimilation and rejection.
    It reveals that self-existent wakefulness, that is, the nature of the awakened mind
    It does not leave its immediate state, and therefore there is no need to strive for anything else.
    It is already present in you - don’t look for it elsewhere!
  9. This is the same reality that is similar to the plasma of the Sun.
    I affirm that it is naturally present in an unshakable luminosity.
    Others (teachings) try to reproduce the original sun
    Through diligent clearing of darkness and clouds.
    These two (categories of Dharma) are as far away as heaven and earth.
  10. Nowadays, some "elephants" claiming mastery in Ati
    Mental movements and projections are considered to be the awakened mind.
    All these idiots wandering in the darkness of ignorance
    Far from the meaning of natural great perfection.
    They don't even know the difference between energy and what comes from it,
    Not to mention the essence of the awakened mind.
  11. As for the real awakened mind, pure from time immemorial,
    That is his absolute truth of the nature of the phenomena of basic space
    Beyond words and thoughts is prajnaparamita.
    His luminous nature is naturally motionless and
    Initially free from the complexities of mental projections and movements,
    Called an “essence” in the sense that it is similar to the plasma of the sun.
    His energy manifests itself continuously,
    Moreover, unimpeded awareness is devoid of both mental evaluations and
    Dual perception, despite its clear clarity.
  12. The energy arising from awareness becomes a complex mind,
    Producing a variety of dual tendencies.
    Perceiving objects in their absence, he materializes the five sense objects;
    Clinging to the Self in its absence, he dresses himself in the five emotions
    And indulges in all sorts of deluded experiences of the external world and the beings within.
    Samsaric manifestation clearly comes from energy (awareness),
    But due to lack of implementation, it is perceived in an erroneous way.
  13. The nature of phenomena does not come from anywhere, does not go anywhere and does not dwell anywhere.
    Comprehension of it in this way in great space
    It is called “the realization of absolute freedom of the three worlds (samsara).”
    This is the vajra essence of the spontaneously present Ati,
    Whose transmission comes from the sphere of great openness of Samantabhadra.
  14. In the essence of the completely pure awakened mind
    There is no such thing as "view", for there is nothing to look at,
    There is not the slightest object of contemplation or the contemplator himself.
    There is no meditating mind or object of meditation there.
    Since in spontaneous presence there is no duality between actions and behavior,
    There is not the slightest result that needs to be achieved.
  15. In light of such non-existence, there are no booms to go through,
    And if this is so, then there have never been any paths of practice along which one must advance.
    Because the clear light is already completely present as the great bindu of existence,
    There are no mantras, no recitation, no initiations, no samaya,
    Neither mandalas, which must be visualized by projecting and concentrating your thoughts,
    Neither the non-conceptual stage of completion with gradual dissolution and so on.
    Enlightened Kayas and wisdoms, existing from time immemorial,
    Deprived of a cause-and-effect relationship due to temporary formations.
    If they had taken place, then this awakening would no longer be self-existent,
    Because everything formed is subject to destruction.
    And then what would be the point of calling it “uncreated and spontaneously present”?
  16. The real meaning of the nature of mind is devoid of effort and achievement.
    How I wish you would understand this and get rid of all the complexes of existence and non-existence!

This is the fifth chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
taking you beyond effort, achievement and cause and effect.

Chapter 6
[Demonstrating the awakened mind containing everything.]

  1. Just as all sunlight is concentrated in its source,
    Likewise, all phenomena are fundamentally reduced to the awakened mind.
    If we examine the main space that serves as their support and location,
    Even the delusion and impurity of what appears and exists in the universe
    They turn out to be groundless, because they are contained in a state of an initially free mind.
    Transcending concepts and their meaning, delusion and non-delusion
    Collected in the state of the nature of phenomena - the great openness of the primordial space.
  2. Even the amazing manifestations of the Kais, the enlightened worlds,
    Wisdoms and activities characteristic of pure vision,
    Collected in an indivisible manner in a self-existent state.
    The awakened mind, unifying everything that appears and exists in samsara and nirvana,
    Just as uncreated in its empty clarity as the sun in the sky.
    This original and open space has naturally existed from time immemorial.
  3. The nature of mind is a great sphere, a state of unchanging space.
    The manifestation of the energy of the awakened mind is not predetermined.
    This single state of inaction overshadows everything,
    The king over samsara, nirvana and all spiritual paths.
    Nothing leaves the state of the awakened mind, the nature of phenomena,
    For there are no other things that go to extremes.
  4. Since everything uniquely arises in the all-good spontaneous presence,
    That is, there is no equal to this supreme Dharmadhat, which contains everything without exception, -
    Such is the grandeur of Samantabhadra.
    Like a king, it motionlessly commands all samsara and nirvana,
    Uniting absolutely everything.
  5. Since a completely perfect state has nothing bad,
    Everything is one in Samantabhadra, who knows neither good nor bad.
    Since everything that is and everything that is not is the same basic space,
    Then everything is one in the spontaneous presence of unshakable equanimity.
  6. Dharmadhatu is a single space from which everything without exception arises.
    In this state of inaction there is nothing to seek or achieve.
    Since effort and achievement happen in your own core space and not anywhere else,
    Then why bother and what else to achieve?
  7. You have nothing to seek and nothing to contemplate in meditation.
    You have nothing to achieve because nothing is gained from outside.
    Nothing comes and nothing goes - such is the equanimity of the Dharmakaya.
    This spontaneous perfection is contained in the basic space of the great bindu of being.
  8. Teachings of Sravakas, Pratyekabuddhas and Bodhisattvas
    They resolutely deny the existence of “I” and “mine”,
    Possessing fundamentally the same sense of simplicity, like space.
    The essential meaning of all these teachings is collected in the highest essence of the secret transmission of Ati Yoga,
    For the self-existent wakefulness is left there “as is”
    In an open space without division between yourself and others.
  9. In three sections Kriya, Upa and Yoga (tantras)
    It is equally believed that siddhi comes from the complete purification of the three gates
    Through his practice of deity, samadhi and clouds of offerings.
    As for the royal mystery of the vajra apogee teaching,
    Then in it the complete purity of the visible, audible and conscious is the primordial deity,
    And since the siddhis have already been realized in the complete purity of the three gates,
    The entire essential meaning (of the three tantras) is collected in this supreme essence.
  10. In three stages Maha, Anu and Ati (yoga tantra)
    The unshakable nature of phenomena is considered to be self-existent wakefulness,
    For the basic space is inseparable from the complete purity of awakening.
    Everything that appears and exists in the universe is the pure world of deities and goddesses.
    Since in this highest sacrament everything is absolutely pure,
    That miraculous palace of primordial space is a world of bliss.
    In immeasurable all-encompassing wholeness,
    Devoid of the characteristics of assiduous assimilation and rejection,
    Everything is an open space of the primordial boundless Dharmakaya.
    Therefore, all this meaning is collected in the essence of the great sacrament.
  11. Perfection in one, perfection in all, a space that includes all things,
    Contained in the primordial flow of a naturally clear state of great spontaneous presence.

This is the sixth chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating an awakened mind containing everything.

Chapter 7
[Demonstrating that everything has been spontaneously present in the awakened mind from time immemorial.]

  1. The teaching of the awakened mind, which is spontaneously present by nature,
    Is the top of the uncreated royal mountain of defining meaning,
    A grandiose royal chariot, towering above all (spiritual paths).
  2. When you reached the top of the royal mountain,
    You can see all the underlying valleys at the same time,
    But this panorama cannot be seen from the valley.
    This is the vajra essence of Ati, -
    The apogee of the chariots, from which the meaning is clearly visible
    The lower paths, which, however, do not know its meaning.
    This peak is a spontaneously present peak.
  3. She is like a great all-fulfilling jewel,
    Who grants everything desired according to prayers,
    The same cannot be said about ordinary things.
    Since the three Kayas are spontaneously present in the vajra essence,
    That enlightenment is achieved spontaneously through natural presence in the basic space without labor or effort. Such is her greatness.
    Although the followers of the lower paths are zealous in assimilation and rejection,
    They cannot realize anything during a kalpa - what a shame!
  4. Primordial equanimity and spontaneous awareness is the awakened mind “as it is”,
    The natural presence of the open nature of phenomena.
    This Dharmakaya nature, the primordial realm of equanimity
    Everyone has it, but it is accessible only to the worthy few.
    If left “as is,” it spontaneously reaches this state.
  5. The all-encompassing, naturally pure and spontaneously present Sambhogakaya
    Everyone has it, but it is visible only to a few.
    It is found when you are naturally present in any experience without strenuous effort.
  6. The all-encompassing space of the Nirmanakaya is a continuous manifestation.
    It is present in everything, and this is clear during the emergence of anything.
    Even the magic of all-fulfilling activities and enlightened qualities
    Does not exist outside the pure realm of awareness.
    This is revealed when you have calmed down in your own transparency, like water in which turbidity has settled.
  7. This original purity is not acquired through the process of searching, -
    The enlightened state of a Buddha is revealed in a self-existent space.
    Since it has already been fully realized, there is no need to achieve it again.
    The space of the nature of phenomena is a great self-existent dimension,
    Do not be overzealous with what is spontaneously and unchangeably present!
  8. The Primordial Ground, the Present Ground, and the Ground of the Essence of Awakening
    Do not leave the natural state in any way,
    Therefore, do not leave the clear space of the reality of awareness!
  9. By leaving everything “as it is,” you will achieve realization.
    Because of the unchanging, ubiquitous dominion of the five wisdoms.
    Five aspects of enlightened Body, Speech, Mind, Qualities and
    Activities of Primordial Enlightenment
    Spontaneously present in this beginningless and infinite space,
    So don't look for them anywhere - they naturally exist from time immemorial.
  10. Awakening of the Dharmakaya for all Enlightened Ones -
    This is nothing other than the reality of unchanging equanimity.
    Since she is spontaneously present in this self-existent state,
    There is no need to look for it and try to achieve it.
    Let go of your anticipations and apprehensions completely!
  11. As for the awakened one, which naturally exists in all those endowed with mind,
    Then she is also spontaneously present in the form of Dharmakaya without the need for search and action.
    So relax in this natural state
    Dharmadhatu without clinging, rejection and appropriation!
  12. The uncreated and open space of the Foundation fully performs all its functions
    In essence, spontaneous equanimity without your ideas or interference.
  13. In the unchanging and ubiquitous power of Kai and wisdom
    Enthronement as king is accomplished by self-existent consecration.
    Since everything that appears and exists in the universe has been spontaneously present from time immemorial,
    Why is intense effort needed in the nature of spontaneous presence?
    Everything is already fully realized and developed in the great spontaneous presence.

This is the seventh chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating that everything has been spontaneously present in the awakened mind from time immemorial.

Chapter 8
[Showing non-duality in the awakened mind.]

  1. In the self-existent wakefulness of the one fundamental space
    All things are present in a non-dual way.
    Although dualistic perception occurs continuously as a manifestation of its energy,
    The awakened mind, by definition, is devoid of the duality of phenomena and the names assigned to them.
  2. Everything that manifests and exists in samsara and nirvana arises
    In unchanging awakened awareness without the need for renunciation and achievement.
    When a yogi, devoid of dualistic perception, sees
    These non-existent manifestations make him laugh at such quirks.
  3. While phenomena do not exist, they arise in all their diversity.
    While emptiness does not exist, it spreads everywhere.
    Although there is no dualistic perception, you cling to the Self both in yourself and in things.
    Despite their groundlessness, rebirths create the impression of continuity.
    Although there is nothing to achieve or deny, you are trying to find happiness and get rid of suffering.
  4. Look around you - how wonderful the experiences of creatures are!
    By clinging to reality in the unreal, they create for themselves the appearance of reality.
    By clinging to delusion in its absence, they create for themselves the appearance of delusion.
    Perceiving the indefinite as definite, everything seems definite to them.
    Perceiving things as they are not, it seems to them that everything is so.
    By justifying unacceptable things, everything seems appropriate to them.
  5. The ordinary mind is led by any infantile sensation,
    While awareness is lost in a series of meaningless moments (distractions),
    Lined up in days, months, years and lost lives.
    Beings are deceived by the dualistic perception of that which is devoid of duality.
  6. For the real yogi, looking inside his mind,
    Unsupported awareness is free of concepts.
    Seeing that it cannot be described or designated, he abandons stereotypes of views and meditations.
    Due to the all-encompassing integrity of this open, liberated and wide open state
    Practical classes are unknown to him, because there is no division into sessions and breaks.
    Nothing is limited, everything is equal and complete.
  7. Without focusing on the body, sense objects and their perception,
    You lose your egoistic clinging to the inner aspect (duality, your mind).
  8. Looking at externally appearing objects,
    They seem to you unobstructed, transparent, disorderly,
    Disconnected, confused and without a point of support.
    Seeing, hearing, thinking, realizing, feeling and sensing like never before,
    You wonder: “What is wrong with me? I'm out of my mind?
    Or maybe I’m dreaming?” - and burst out laughing at yourself.
  9. Thanks to the one complete equanimity, devoid of even the division into day and night,
    Samsara with its characteristic clinging and support points is cleansed.
    Without constructing concepts about the “state of self-existent wakefulness”,
    You leave the cage of opposition, renunciation, rejection and appropriation.
    Having realized this, your awakening has become non-dual.
    You have achieved the realization of the self-existent Samantabhadra,
    You have arrived at an exhaustive and irreversible state.
  10. Without realizing equanimity in the self-existent state,
    Some obsessively cling to words about non-duality
    And they create their confidence on the basis of mental assessments of absolutely non-conceptual (awareness).
    This is nothing more than a perverted understanding, a dark realm of ignorance.
  11. Therefore, train in non-duality, the royal perfection of all aspirations,
    By practicing in an unchanging self-existent state.
    The Dharmakaya fortress is the essence of the non-duality of samsara and nirvana,
    Naturally rises from within, completely liberating the three worlds.
    It is beyond all analogies and is completely pure as space.
  12. As long as you cling to “this” and “that”,
    You remain caged in the dualistic delusion of “yourself” and “others.”
    When you cannot distinguish “something” at all,
    Everything will lose orientation in holistic equanimity,
    Which according to Vajrasattva is the “realization of non-duality.”

This was the eighth chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
showing non-duality in the awakened mind.

Chapter 9
[Demonstrating a certain experience of all phenomena in the space of the awakened mind.]

  1. In a single sphere of great natural openness
    The impact force of the awakened mind, equal to space,
    Contains the quintessence to which all key points are reduced.
    The grandiose grandeur of the open Mind of Samantabhadra
    Devoid of external coverings in its very essence.
    There is no bifurcation in this single great space
    For realization and non-realization, for freedom and non-freedom.
    This is great equanimity.
  2. Since the garuda's wings are completely formed inside the egg,
    She soars into heavenly space as soon as she is freed from her shell,
    Confidently conquering the nagas and overcoming abysses.
    Worthy of Yogi, Realized Vajra Essence
    The highest vehicle “as it is” also overcomes the abyss of samsara,
    Overshadowing the followers of the lower paths.
  3. Complete freedom, located in great equanimity,
    Unacceptable for those obsessed with effort, achievement and cause and effect,
    But in the highest vehicle, the meaning of unshakable equanimity is more than appropriate.
  4. Everything is great bliss in the realm of Dharmakaya, equal to space.
    There is nothing unfree in the realm of Dharmakaya.
    The naturally occurring nature of phenomena is the embodiment of the vajra essence,
    And the energy of this essence is completely perfect in an ordinary body, conditioned by karmic tendencies.
    When the body that existed between birth and death is discarded,
    Only inseparable awareness remains with everyone.
    Having taken possession of the realm of the spontaneously present state,
    Emanations appear without restrictions
    And they can easily penetrate anywhere,
    This is the lot of yogis who “ridden the prana of inaction.”
    Although this is unacceptable in all lower vehicles,
    In Ati (yoga), the appropriateness of this is the key principle of absolute fruition.
  5. While the illusion of birth arises in the absence of birth,
    Only a deluded mind can cling to the attributes of cause and effect.
    Although the absence of causes and conditions is unacceptable in the lower vehicles,
    This is absolutely appropriate in Ati (yoga).
  6. While there's no difference between minds
    Buddhas and the experiences of ordinary beings,
    Only a deluded mind can cling to
    duality of samsara and nirvana.
    Although such non-duality is unacceptable on the lower paths,
  7. While freedom does not depend on realization or lack thereof,
    Only opponents of equality can argue that
    liberation comes as a result of realization.
    Although universal equanimity is not acceptable on the lower paths,
    In Ati (yoga) it is shown to be absolutely appropriate.
  8. Only idiots can claim that the realization of the ineffable state
    Depends on the special means of expression.
    Although in Ati (yoga) the absolute is shown to be inseparable from you,
    This logical principle is unacceptable on the lower paths.
  9. While the initially all-encompassing Great
    Perfection (Dzogchen) is deep and unlimited,
    Only idiots would call it "infinity".
    Although unlimited wealth is not available to people of weak intellect,
    In Ati (yoga) it is shown to be absolutely acceptable and self-sufficient.
  10. All causal connections change their course in a single bindu (awareness),
    Cutting off anticipation and fears regarding the fetus,
    equal to space.
    How spacious and great is the heavenly Mind of the Victorious!
    In this realm of a single bindu there is nothing to reject or achieve.
    His original freedom does not depend on realization or lack thereof.
    Blessed is the yogi who has nothing to do on a path like space.
  11. This is the primordial enlightened and immaterial awareness
    He does not wander in samsara, for he is beyond all the foundations of delusion.
    No one was mistaken at all, since there is no room for delusion in it.
    Everything is in the state of a single clear space of Dharmadhatu,
    Whose openness, indivisible into past and future, is like space.
    Samsara is originally pure, resting in the spontaneous presence from time immemorial.
  12. Nirvana is not something you have to get to; freedom is not something that is gained,
    Because the unchanging great space has never known the existence of samsara and nirvana.
    It is not framed by anticipations and fears about what is achieved and rejected,
    All things are just labels; in fact, they are beyond descriptions and designations.
    Having determined that there is no delusion in samsara and no freedom in nirvana,
    Don't stress, don't fix or change anything!
  13. Awareness cannot be wide or narrow, high or low,
    Limited or one-sided, so throw any orientation into it!
    Awareness cannot come, go, or be measured in time,
    It is devoid of both action and reaction, so give up your clinging and effort!
    If you focus on something, then you also fetter yourself with it,
    Therefore, do not lean or grab onto anything - relax in equanimity!
  14. It does not matter whether all phenomena are initially free or not.
    It does not matter whether the nature of the natural state is pure or not.
    It does not matter whether the mind itself is free from complexes or not.
    It doesn't matter whether something exists in primordial nature or not.
  15. It does not matter whether samsara and nirvana are dual or not.
    It doesn’t matter whether it is beyond words and thoughts or not.
    It does not matter whether the delusion of refutations and assertions is destroyed or not.
    It does not matter whether the gaze comprehends meditation or not.
  16. It doesn't matter whether you meditate on the meaning of the Dharmata or not.
    It doesn't matter whether you comply with the behavior or not, because there is nothing to accept or reject.
    It does not matter whether the fruit exists in the natural state or not.
    It doesn't matter whether you progress along the paths and booms or not.
  17. It doesn't matter whether you are free from defilements or not.
    It does not matter whether the stages of development and completion perfect your nature or not.
    It doesn't matter whether you have achieved the fruit of liberation or not.
    It doesn't matter whether you wander through the six worlds of samsara or not.
  18. It does not matter whether the nature of being is spontaneously present or not.
    It doesn't matter if you're ambivalent
    constancy and nihilism or not.
    It does not matter whether you have achieved the realization of the nature of phenomena or not.
    It doesn't matter whether you follow in the footsteps of past masters or not.
  19. No matter what happens, even if the earth and sky change places,
    Just relax in ungrounded openness.
    Without closing in on your messy, scattered and unconnected experience,
    You lose the duality of anticipation and apprehension, like a madman.
    In the absence of a schematic division between view and meditation, your rational thinking, obsessed with purposeful fixations, collapses.
    In the absence of obsessive desires for your own benefit, you have nothing to strive for and nothing to strive for.
  20. Allow everything that happens to happen and everything that appears to appear.
    Let everything arise, let everything be as it is.
    Let everything that is be nothing at all.
  21. Your awareness functions instantly, no matter what you do.
    Without speculating about what is spiritual and what is not,
    You simply and directly leave the cage of philosophical dogma.
    This is a state of equanimity inherent in the nature of phenomena,
    It completely covers day and night, no matter whether you are lying, sitting, walking or eating.
    There are no deities to please, no spirits to tame,
    There is nothing to even meditate on - this is the most ordinary and natural state.
    Thanks to the single equanimity that truly reigns over everyone without arrogance,
    The unity of the liberated state is completely open.
    Enjoy the original uncreated perfection in freedom from effort and achievement.
  22. Just as there is no basis for the view and state of meditation,
    So there are no conventions of behavior or fruit that must be achieved.
    Since everything is completely embraced by impartial equanimity,
    Then enjoy the unnecessaryness of strenuous efforts in freedom from all dimensions.
  23. The absence of aspirations exhausts ideas about achievement.
    The absence of denial takes you beyond clinging and constraining resistance.
    Everything that appears and arises is inevitably liberated
    Without your ideas about anything, everything, what is and what is not.
  24. Phenomena do not exist in an unfree, initially free, or naturally free manner,
    Therefore, a single unfocused equanimity
    Located beyond a specific experience.
  25. In an open space, in an open
    space, in a state of extremely vast space
    Clear space, boundless space
    Merged into a single non-dual space
    In the blissful space (realization) of Longchen Rabjama.
    I, Natsok Rangdrol, have reached the level of exhaustion in Dharmat.
    Constant spontaneous presence is my best and final decree.
  26. Those who follow my example
    They must similarly merge with the great and primordially endless space.
    In this way you will achieve eternity in the state of Samantabhadra.

This was the ninth chapter of the Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu,
demonstrating a certain experience of all phenomena in the space of the awakened mind.

Chapter 10
[Demonstrating the steadfastness of realization in the nature of phenomena.]

  1. The awakened mind has been pure in nature from time immemorial.
    The nature of phenomena is not realized through searches,
    It does not come and does not go, is not eliminated and is not held back;
    The "sun and moon" of clear light rise in the celestial space of the nature of phenomena,
    When she is left in her nature.
  2. If you don't block sense objects, don't hold your mind
    And do not leave the natural state of spontaneous equanimity,
    Then you arrive in the dimension of the great openness of Samantabhadra.
  3. In the absence of mental projections and concentrations
    Naturally pure clarity
    Like the unshakable equanimity of a transparent ocean.
    The state of self-existent wakefulness, the deep clarity of the nature of phenomena
    They are free from fears and hopes, the emergence (of thoughts) and involvement in them.
  4. Natural presence is genuine and undistorted
    In the absence of mental convulsions and verbal designations.
    The nature of phenomena, merged with the space of being, has no characteristics;
    She is deprived of both meditation and the object of meditation,
    Therefore, drowsiness and excitement disappear by themselves in self-existent realization.
  5. Thought, which is the energy of awareness, cannot be eliminated or rejected.
    The nature of phenomena cannot be established by attainment,
    Because in her condition there is nothing to exclude or eliminate.
    It rises as the main space.
    Without rejecting samsara, you perceive it in self-existent wakefulness
    Through pure yoga of great space.
  6. Phenomena and mind are originally (one) in the naturally present state of Dharmata,
    Which arises in a continuous flow of unshakable samadhi.
    Vajra apogee, the grandiose Mind of Samantabhadra -
    This is the highest open state, equal to space.
    The best meditation is devoid of any exceptions or differences,
    Initially and everywhere the king was in an amazing spontaneous presence.
  7. The continuous flow of clear light that you have inherited from time immemorial,
    Spontaneously present in this state without elimination or appropriation,
    Being the highest dimension of Dharmadhatu, the nature of samsara and nirvana.
    This great unshakable sphere, which is beyond words and equal to space,
    It has been innately present in all beings since beginningless times.
  8. Only a deluded mind can perceive phenomena as something alien to itself.
    Only a deluded mind is obsessed with meditation and effort.
    When you have left delusion in the state of the nature of phenomena, the world of equanimity,
    You don't have to work, strain, rest or worry
    Regarding this unshakable natural space, pure from time immemorial.
  9. Looking again and again at the unchanging and spontaneously present nature of phenomena
    With your awareness, free from intricate complexities,
    You will see that there is nothing to see there -
    This is the ancestral view of invisible awareness.
  10. By meditating again and again on unconditioned awareness that cannot be held or eliminated,
    You will see that there is nothing there to meditate on, -
    This is the ancestral meditation of independent awareness.
  11. Operating again and again in a non-dual natural state, free from appropriation and rejection,
    You will see that there is nothing to observe there, -
    This is the inherited attitude of awareness beyond behavior.
  12. Again and again striving to achieve something
    In the originally perfect spontaneous presence, which is alien to anticipation and apprehension,
    You will see that there is nothing to achieve there, -
    This is the ancestral fruit of unattainable awareness.
  13. Anticipations and fears that arise are eliminated,
    When you do not comprehend sense objects and do not hold your mind, being in a state of equanimity between objects and mind.
    You do not leave the space of the nature of phenomena,
    Being in a non-objective dimension inherited from the characteristic objects of perception.
    Since primordial nondual awareness is your heritage,
    That state of great perfection completely embraces
    All samsara and nirvana without dividing and rejecting one and appropriating the other.
  14. Material and immaterial are equal in basic space,
    Buddhas and sentient beings are equal in basic space,
    Absolute and relative are equal in basic space,
    Vices and talents are equal in the main space,
    Top, bottom, cardinal and intermediate directions are equal in the main space.
    Whatever manifestations arise from the self-existent state,
    During their occurrence, they occur equally and beyond the good and the bad.
    Therefore, why should they be opposed, corrected, appropriated and rejected?
    During their existence, they remain equally and transcendentally good and bad.
    Whatever is going on in your mind right now, just leave it alone.
    During liberation, they are liberated equally and beyond good and bad.
    With this in mind, stop suppressing or trying to achieve anything.
  15. In the awakened mind, the fundamental realm of all existence,
    His own energy with its manifestations is expressed in an indefinite manner.
    Arising equally, it occurs in the primordial sphere;
    Arising unequally, it nevertheless rises from the main space.
    Being equanimous, it is naturally present in the nature of phenomena;
    Being unequal, it is nevertheless located in the basic space of its equality.
    Liberated with equanimity, it returns to the realm of self-existent wakefulness;
    Liberating itself unequally, it is nevertheless liberated in the basic space of its equality.
  16. From the point of view of self-existent awareness, in which everything is inherently equal,
    Basic space is originally devoid of arising and non-arising.
    Being and non-being never existed in the main space,
    And in the same way, there was never liberation or its opposite in him.
  17. From the point of view of awareness, the great unshakable equanimity,
    When phenomena arise, they arise naturally, adhering to their own state.
    When they abide, they abide naturally, adhering to their own state.
    When they are released, they are released naturally, holding to their own state.
  18. In unchanging awareness, devoid of complications,
    Everything that arises, abides and liberates
    Has the nature of space in which everything arises initially,
    Abides initially and is liberated initially.
  19. The arising, abiding and liberation (of thoughts) does not change the fact
    That they arise and are released at the same time.
    Since this process is continuous, the cause cannot be separated from the effect.
    In the absence of a cause-and-effect relationship, the abyss of samsara disappears.
    And since there is no abyss, how can you even stumble?
  20. Samantabhadra's space is unchanged from the very beginning.
    The space of Vajrasattva is not subject to change and transformation.
    The word "enlightenment" is nothing more than a label
    Meaning awareness of one's natural state.
  21. If you have realized this, there is nothing for you to reject or accept,
    For everything is holistically embraced by the single nature of phenomena
    Without distinctions or exceptions, just like on the golden island.
    In the absence of extremes, errors and obscurations are removed.
    The Three Kayas are spontaneously perfect in unmistakable
    The nature of the awakened mind without effort and tension,
    And even the phrase “beyond description and imagination” -
    Nothing more than the same verbal description.
  22. Phenomena are not blocked in the clarity of self-existent awareness.
    Since it is not darkened or limited either externally or internally,
    The genuine state of true presence is evident in the great nature of phenomena.
    Completely relax your body and mind into carefree peace.
    Leave your body and mind in the most comfortable position without tension or relaxation,
    Like a carefree person with nothing to do.
  23. Whatever things are, they are in a natural state.
    No matter how they abide, they remain in a natural state.
    No matter how they disappear, they disappear in a natural state.
    In the space of awakening nothing comes or goes, -
    This is the enlightened Body of all the Victorious Ones, beyond coming and going.
  24. Whatever is spoken is said in its natural state.
    Whatever is said is said in the natural state.
    The awakened mind is by nature beyond description and expression, -
    This is the ineffable and indescribable Speech of the Victorious Ones of the three times.
  25. Whatever is thought is thought in its natural state.
    Whatever is thought is thought in its natural state.
    In the awakened mind there were never any thoughts or reflections, -
    Such is the unthinkable and unimaginable Mind of the Victorious Three Times.
  26. Nirmanakaya is the manifestation of anything in the absence of existence,
    Sambhogakaya is the enjoyment of one's essence,
    Dharmakaya is the immateriality and groundlessness of it.
    The fruit consists of the space of spontaneous presence of the three Kayas.
  27. Conceptual thinking concepts do not arise
    In that very state of the great space of the awakened mind.
    If there are no signs of (dual) perception in the mind,
    This is the realization of unique enlightenment.
  28. The nature of awakening is like the open firmament.
    The highest meditation is devoid of thoughts and memory.
    Your own nature is genuine and unshakable,
    Inconceivable and completely free from speculation.
    The natural presence of phenomena in nature does not change over three times, -
    This is the best meditation, devoid of movement and projection of omnipresent thoughts.
  29. Holy is the mind that is in suchness -
    In a unique enlightenment, free from all designations.
    Unshakable Dharmadhatu, beyond obsessions,
    It is the space of realization of the Victorious, the highest nature of openness.
    Having thrown off the constraining sophistications over the body and mind,
    Relax completely and don't hold on to anything.
    Whatever thoughts flash through your mind,
    If you do not leave the state of the nature of the phenomena of the present Ground,
    Then everything is an open space for the realization of Samantabhadra.
  30. If you don't hold back or eliminate anything, don't tense up or relax,
    Then your unlimited natural presence spontaneously remains “as it is.”
    Unshakable all-encompassing integrity is a space beyond latitude and longitude.
    When all thoughts and memories arise and disappear by themselves,
    This is the heavenly realization of Vajrasattva.
  31. If you are not distracted from true space,
    Even involvement in thoughts and objects of perception will not displace you from the state of the nature of phenomena.
    If you try to deliberately and forcibly correct the nature of phenomena,
    Conceptless and spacious as the sky,
    Then you are only pushing yourself into the cage of characteristics.
    Even if you meditate like this day and night,
    Such constricting fixations will not do you any good, -
    The Victorious One said that this is analogous to the concentrations of the (samsara) gods.
    Therefore, it is extremely important to transcend clinging and effort and
    Do not be distracted from a natural presence devoid of intense diligence.
  32. Since self-existent wakefulness is non-judgmental and unlimited,
    It is impossible to designate it as something “like that,” because there are no complexities in its nature.
    So give up your speculations
    And train in the essence of great openness, free from support.
  33. Self-existent wakefulness is the unique nature of phenomena.
    Freedom from complex extremes is a unique view.
    No coming and no going, no holding and no elimination, this is a unique meditation.
    The non-duality of internalization and rejection is a unique behavior.
    Freedom from dualistic achievement and overcoming is a unique fruit.
    This is the realization of self-existent spontaneous presence.
  34. Due to the fact that the original state of all things manifesting and existing in the universe of samsara and nirvana
    Self-existent wakefulness does not leave,
    Then any position of the Ground of Being should be understood as an enlightened dimension.
  35. Since the nature of phenomena is revealed in all the diversity of objects of perception,
    You are not required to think, “I rest in this in such and such a way.”
    Simply relax spontaneously in natural presence without your mental projections
    And remain in the equal space of the nature of phenomena.
  36. Without wandering your gaze and without focusing your other senses on the manifest forms of pure and impure objects,
    Leave your natural clarity in the great openness of all-encompassing equanimity
    Without thinking about yourself and others.
  37. Self-existent wakefulness in which everything is equal,
    Is a spacious and elevated mind, free from mental projections and concentrations.
    Its realization ascends in blissful, clear and non-conceptual samadhi,
    Experienced as merging with space without division into external and internal.
  38. In the enlightened dimension of the unshakable nature of the phenomena of the present Ground
    There is no division into external and internal, for it is free from complexes of dual perception.
    When the ordinary mind does not cling to other "objects"
    Then there are no things left to grasp, and the universe is experienced in freedom from fixations.
    In such a situation like space, there is not even a chance for birth in samsara.
  39. Without delving into thoughts about “my own mind”,
    You will free yourself from subjective perception, pacify the incessant thoughts “about life”,
    And you will lose the opportunity to be reborn in samsara.
    At this time you have arrived at the realization of heavenly
    Dharmakaya, which has nothing to do with the external and internal aspects of delusion.
    Since the exhaustive state to which you have arrived is beyond coming and going,
    Everything became the boundless space of the world of Samantabhadra.
    You have entered the supreme palace of the Dharmakaya.
  40. If your present awareness does not leave the Ground,
    Then this training will allow you to escape future existence
    And free yourself from karma and its tendencies that prompt further rebirths.
    This solution to the problem of cause and effect is considered to be equal between samsara and nirvana.
    Without remaining in conditioned existence (samsara) or peace (nirvana), you find yourself in the heart of awakening.
    For this it is important to distinguish (awareness) from the one-pointed state of shamatha, -
    This is the goal of natural Great Perfection (Dzogchen).
  41. When you leave the natural state, your mind works in samsara mode,
    Because it is conditioned by cause and effect and does not provide a defining experience.
    A person entangled in it falls lower and lower.
    As for the highest mystery of the Great Perfection,
    Then in it all the energy (of awareness) merges with the Base, without leaving the main space.
    This realization is in great equanimity.
  42. In this state there is no strenuous effort, no cause-and-effect relationship.
    The (Dzogchen) view is not a product of meditation.
    Although the process of cessation is described by the non-duality of center and periphery,
    Energy (of awareness) emerging from its natural state,
    It is found in many different manifestations of the apparent and the existing.
    Therefore, never declare: “There is no cause-and-effect relationship!”
  43. Aggregates due to interdependence
    origin, innumerable and beyond imagination.
    The deluded experiences of samsara, even those that are pleasant and calm, cannot be
    Neither calculation nor imagination.
    All this is nothing more than the interdependence of coinciding causes and conditions.
  44. If you try to appreciate true nature, it is not anything at all.
    When you do not leave this true nature in practice,
    Then there are no guidelines in your implementation.
    By “evaluating” it in this way, you directly
    you find yourself in this nature, invulnerable to anything.
  45. Disturbing Emotions, Karma and Habitual Tendencies
    They have no support in this great space, being tricks of magical illusion.
    Since you must be free from them, I pray you
    resolve the problem of cause and effect.
    There is nothing better than this method for this, -
    It is important not to leave the enlightened dimension of the nature of phenomena.
    This is the scope of my instruction given from the depths of my heart.
    It is important to go beyond everything that is and what is not, to transcend “yes” and “no.”

This was the tenth chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating the steadfastness of realization in the nature of phenomena.

Chapter 11
[Demonstrating the purity of manifestations equal to space.]

  1. Indulging in dualistic perception in the unity of the awakened mind, where everything is like space,
    You are delusional in existence due to cause and effect.
    When you encounter the illusory appearances of groundless manifestations of delusion,
    Remain without assessments, and they will disappear without a trace.
  2. When something unwanted happens to you,
    Your mind tries to get rid of it by falling into
    Anger, dissatisfaction, envy, worry, anxiety,
    Sadness, paranoia, depression
    Or fears of death and rebirth.
    Realizing that all this is just a manifestation of energy (awareness),
    Don't avoid, don't get involved, don't try to improve or change it, don't contemplate or even meditate on it.
    Instead, relax spontaneously into the unified equanimity of natural presence.
    Without mental projections and concentrations.
    Everything will disappear without a trace by itself, and with this you will experience the heavenly space of pure mind,
    Irresistibly rising from within with even greater clarity.
  3. When your unlimited awareness, devoid of yes and no,
    Faces phenomena that are impossible to even navigate,
    Then simply remaining in a natural state, unconditioned by any perception,
    They will disappear without a trace without “liberating” achievement and suppression.
    The experience of the absence of clinging and fixation fills you from within, -
    This is an initially open space for “as is” implementation.
  4. Your mind can also rejoice in desirable things -
    Easy achievements, good news, wealth, loved ones
    Favorite places and countries.
    Due to this, your mind becomes clothed with its characteristic excitement.
    Aware of its nature and liberatedly present in the natural state,
    All your experiences reside genuinely and spontaneously in the original core space.
  5. You may be somewhere or move in an indifferent state,
    Which does not provoke pleasant and unpleasant sensations.
    At this moment, do not reject or appropriate anything, being aware of your nature.
    Such a natural presence in nature of phenomena, where there are no exceptions or differences,
    It is called “the liberation of dullness into great luminosity.”
  6. At night you are overcome by sleep.
    But again, lying in a state of natural presence, free from mental projections and concentrations,
    Gross perception fades away, and with it your clinging.
    With the disappearance of subtle and subtle (thoughts) and fixations
    The conscious mind naturally remains in an equally non-conceptual state
    Without getting caught up in fears and anticipation.
    At this time, the omnipresent thoughts are released into Dharmadhatu,
    What is called “liberation of samsara in nirvana.”
  7. Even sleep is the original state of self-existent space.
    While the energy (of awareness) dissolves into the essential space of its basis,
    All complexes caused by clinging to its manifestations are eliminated by themselves -
    This is the peculiarity of the dimension of self-existent wakefulness, which does not require influence.
  8. Thus, all positive, negative and neutral states of mind,
    In which the manifestation of energy arises in the three emotional poisons,
    They arise and originate from the main space.
    Since none of them leaves or goes beyond the main space,
    Then they are all naturally released, disappear and are eliminated by themselves without correction, change or anticipation,
    Once you become aware of the basic space itself.
  9. All emotions, karma and habitual tendencies -
    These are mirages that appear as manifestations of energy.
    Even the counter-improving paths of liberation -
    These are all the same mirages that arise as a manifestation of energy (awareness).
    Since both are from the very beginning expressions of energy,
    It is essential to remain in a state of awareness without correction.
    They have the same tempo, the same dynamics, they move from the Base in the same way.
    Since they are formed due to occurring conditions and do not go beyond the limits of causes and effects,
    It is important for you to solve the problem of cause and effect in a natural and relaxed presence.
  10. This is the culminating path of the highest sacrament.
    Do not disclose it to people with weak intellects, but keep it completely secret from them.
    The essential doctrine is distorted by false views;
    Exaggerations and misunderstandings have nothing to do with implementation.
    Those who break the gate of secrecy fall into the lower worlds.
    Therefore, the royal heritage of the most secret chariot
    Passed on and transmitted only to saints and worthy people.
  11. So, whatever mental and objective conditions arise in you,
    Don't oppose them, don't interfere, and don't try to get rid of them,
    After all, the key principle of natural awareness is natural and uninhibited presence.
  12. While awareness occurs in all experiences of happiness and suffering,
    You find yourself bound in conditioned existence because of your dual reactions of appropriation and rejection.
  13. Whatever objects appear, they are equal from the point of view of the perceiving senses.
    Whatever states your mind falls into, they are all equal, being only traceless processes of consciousness.
    Both are equal at the moment, being only shackles of suppression and affirmation.
    In fact, they are absolutely equal, being only groundless manifestations.
    All objects are equal in their dissimilarity, being without a trace at the slightest examination.
    All states of mind are equal in their essence, being space upon the slightest analysis.
    Between objects and the mind, as in the clear sky, there is no duality.
    One who has such knowledge is the heir of Samantabhadra.
    Such a son of the Victorious is a Vidyadhara of the highest level.
  14. Thus, phenomena are equally present and equally absent;
    They seem the same and are equally empty; equally true and equally false.
    Therefore, give up all rejections and oppositions, strenuous efforts and fettering clinging.
    Embrace the integrity of the great objectless equanimity.
    Embrace the wholeness of great uncontrived awareness.
    Embrace the wholeness of great and immaculate equanimity.

This was the eleventh chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating the purity of manifestations equal to space.

Chapter 12
[Demonstrating the nature of the primordial freedom of all phenomena in the awakened mind.]

  1. All phenomena are initially free in the awakened mind,
    And there is no such phenomenon that would not be free.
  2. Samsara is initially free, it is free in its original purity.
    Nirvana is initially free, it is free in spontaneous perfection.
    Manifestations are initially free, they are free due to the absence of root and foundation.
    Conditioned being is initially free, it is free in the essence of awakening.
    Complexities are initially free, they are free in the absence of extremes.
    Simplicity is initially free, it is free in unborn purity.
  3. Happiness is initially free, free in the holistic nature of phenomena.
    Suffering is initially free, free in the open equanimity of the Ground.
    Indifference is initially free, free in the Dharmakaya, equal to space.
    Purity is initially free, free in the emptiness of the pure Ground.
    Impurity is initially free, free in a great state of complete freedom.
  4. Paths and boomis are initially free, they are free beyond the stages of development and completion.
    Views and meditations are initially free, they are free in the absence of assimilation and rejection.
    Behavior is initially free, it is free in its full goodness.
    The fruit is initially free, it is free in the absence of anticipation and fear.
    Samayas are initially free, they are free in the great nature of phenomena.
    Recitation is initially free, it is free without pronunciation.
    Samadhis are initially free, they are free beyond the realm of imagination.
  5. Existence and non-existence are inherently free, free beyond extremes.
    Constancy and nihilism are initially free, free because of their own groundlessness.
    The authentic is inherently free, free beyond the imagination.
    The inauthentic is also free, free beyond mental limitations.
    Karma is initially free, free in the absence of defilements.
    Disturbing emotions are initially free, free in the absence of constraining and liberating factors.
    Habitual tendencies are initially free, free due to the lack of support and foundation.
    Karmic consequences are initially free, free due to the groundlessness of their experience.
  6. Reactions are initially free, they are free without the need for rejection.
    Rejection and appropriation are nondual and free in their heavenly openness.
    Freedom is initially free, it is free because of the absence of confinement.
    Unfreedom is initially free, it is free due to the absence of both freedom and imprisonment.
    Relaxation is initially free, it is free without a reason for relaxation.
    A liberated presence is initially free, it is free without a reason for liberation.
  7. So, everything that appears and does not appear, everything that exists and does not exist,
    As well as everything that is beyond this,
    Already completely free in the main space from time immemorial,
    And none of you should try to free anything.
  8. Even if you strain and make efforts for this, they will not be of any use.
    So don't stress! Don't overdo it! Don't try!
    Do not look! Do not look! Don't look at your consciousness!
    Don't meditate! Don't meditate! Don't meditate on your mind!
    Don't analyze! Don't analyze! Don't analyze your mind and objects!
    Don't reach! Don't reach! Do not achieve fruition in fears and hopes!
    Don't reject! Don't reject! Don't reject karma and emotions!
    Don't accept it! Don't accept it! Don't take anything for granted!
    Don't pinch! Don't pinch! Don't pinch your own mind!
  9. Since everything without exception collapses into a state of equanimity,
    It is impossible to distinguish between phenomena, their order, or their fulcrum.
    The foundation fails, the path fails and the fruit also fails,
    And there is no longer any orientation in good and bad, in losses and damage.
    Total equanimity is absolutely empty, initially empty, it excludes both what appears and what exists.
    The divisions of samsara and nirvana collapse; they are absent from the main space.
    What will you do if you don’t even have any guiding ideas like
    “What is this?”, “How is this?”, and where is this “I” anyway?
    What will you do with what seemed to be there before, but has now disappeared?
    Ha! Ha! I laugh out loud at such quirks!
  10. With the collapse of delusion about what exists and manifests in the universe
    Day and night find themselves in primordial purity, natural purity, heavenly purity.
    Days and dates are clear; months, years and kalpas are pure.
    Everything is pure in a single purity - not only the spiritual, but the non-spiritual is also pure.
    The basis of delusion, samsara and nirvana are pure in the original basic space.
    Since the term "basic space" conditioned by the intellect is also pure,
    What will you achieve with your efforts and achievements?
    When the shackles of the suffering mind disappeared, a great and amazing space remained.
    I, a godless vagabond, have nothing left except this nature!
  11. Core Fortress, Jewel Fortress and Sky Fortress
    Spontaneously present in an initially free enlightened dimension that has no support.
    The universe with its three worlds is free in a great objectless state.
  12. Those who fetter themselves by clinging to extremes in their absence,
    They have no idea about true nature.
    They pervert themselves.
    They are fooling themselves - oh, how wrong they are!
    They are deluded in the absence of delusion, clinging to hopeless situations.
  13. Both delusion and its absence occur in the space of the awakened mind,
    But in the most awakened mind there has never been either delusion or freedom.
    You are constrained by clinging to its manifestations,
    Then there is no bondage, no liberation, no objects, no mind.
    Don't give in to your clinging to existence in its absence!
  14. Do not fetter this free awareness, which is enlightened from the beginning,
    Spiritual cages of purposeful clinging!
    The space of awakening, whose blessed basis is equal to the sky, is
    This is a completely pure sphere in which there have never been any objects.
    It has been present from time immemorial and there is no place for samsara in it.
  15. While the bindu of existence is devoid of curved edges,
    Only a deluded mind can perceive things as the same or different.
    Since in self-existent wakefulness there are no causes or conditions,
    Then by clinging to them on samsaric paths, you hinder your own awakening.
    While unprejudiced spontaneous presence is free from extremes,
    Fixation on the extremes of limited views is arrogant Mara.
    While continuous emptiness is devoid of substance and characteristics,
    Only a perverted mind can assign labels
    “existence”, “non-existence”, “phenomena” and “emptiness”.
    Therefore, throw off the shackles of your limited and preconceived notions
    And realize that non-judgmental spontaneous presence is like space.
  16. Whatever forms you see, whatever sounds you hear,
    All objects of the six consciousnesses arise naturally in a clear manner in space,
    Having no exceptions or differences...
    Determine yourself in this initially free space of equality.
  17. (Awareness is called) “basic space” because everything that appears arises in one equanimity.
    (It is called) "Ground" in the sense that it produces enlightened qualities.
    It is the “sphere of being”, for in it everything naturally exists without exception or difference.
    It is called the “awakened mind” because it is the essence of everything that happens.
    It should be understood as initially pure, like the sky.
  18. In open space the foundations of self-existent wakefulness
    Everything is completely pure and contained in the awakened mind,
    Which is “purified” (jang), since it was never polluted and defamed by samsara,
    And “captivating” (forelock), because enlightened qualities are spontaneously present in it without a cause-and-effect relationship.
    It is called "mind" (sam) due to the pure luminosity of the essence of self-awareness.
  19. From the point of view of energy manifestation (awareness)
    Enlightenment is rediscovered by sudden realization.
    In the absence of realization, delusion in ignorance thickens
    In the form of eight consciousnesses with their objects, unfolding from the (subconscious) all-ground.
    However, any manifestations (energies) arising in the universe of apparent and existing
    Do not leave the space of the awakened mind.
    When you are in a state of unwavering equanimity in this space of mind,
    Samsara and nirvana are completely free, as they are contained in the realm of the enlightened dimension.
  20. Natural presence... samsara and nirvana cannot exist in this unchanging nature.
    Natural presence... there is no rejection of the bad and no appropriation of the good.
    Natural presence... in it there is no duality of renunciation and achievement.
    Natural presence... the five emotional poisons do not exist in it.
    Natural presence... it cannot be limited to extremes.
    Natural presence... even energy (awareness) and experiences do not exist in it.
    Natural presence... inferior labels are assigned to it, and this is inevitable.
  21. Neither the energy (of awareness) nor its arising manifestations have a basis
    In self-existent wakefulness, the nameless exhaustion of phenomena.
    The natural state is by its nature present beyond imprisonment and liberation.
    The word “liberation” is just a far-fetched symbolic name, meaning self-disappearance without a trace.
    Since it makes no difference what or how to call it,
    We describe it with the words “primordial freedom.”
  22. Freedom in the space of spontaneous presence has no exceptions or differences.
    Freedom in the sphere of the bindu of existence is devoid of meetings and separations.
    Freedom in an indefinite space manifests itself in anything.
  23. You see forms - the visible is free in its own position.
    You hear sounds - what you hear is free in its own position.
    You smell - the sense of smell is free in the main space.
    You feel tastes and touches - they are free in their natural state.
    You think, realize and perceive - all this is free due to the absence of support, root and foundation.
  24. Freedom in unity is freedom in the space of the nature of phenomena.
    There is no duality—objects and mind are free in equanimity.
    Self-existent freedom is freedom in the space of awakening.
    Spontaneously present freedom is freedom in the purity of the space of the Ground.
  25. Freedom of diversity is freedom in a unique space.
    Unlimited freedom is freedom in a spontaneously present space.
    Total freedom is freedom in the space of the very essence.
  26. Freedom in the realm of the “sun and moon” is the freedom of clear light.
    Freedom in “heavenly space” is the freedom of the nature of phenomena.
    Freedom in the “sphere of the ocean” is the freedom of conditioned phenomena.
    Freedom in the “sphere of the royal mountain” is unchanging freedom.
  27. Primordial freedom is freedom in unborn space.
    The freedom of unified equanimity is freedom in the space of primordial enlightenment.
    Freedom of complete liberation is freedom in the originally developed space.

This was the twelfth chapter of the Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu,
demonstrating the nature of the primordial freedom of all phenomena in the awakened mind.

Chapter 13
[Demonstrating that enlightenment comes without effort or achievement, since all phenomena are originally in the enlightened state of the awakened mind.]

  1. When you have mastered the key principle of effortlessness
    In the essence of awakening, the spontaneous presence of phenomena
    You become a Buddha anew in the state of primordial enlightenment.
    This is the unsurpassed goal of the vajra essence,
    The great space of awakening, the very core of the nine stages of the path.
  2. Although the mandalas of the sun and moon illuminate the sky with their light,
    They can be completely hidden by large clouds of lack of implementation.
    This is how you cannot see the awakening that is within you.
  3. These large clouds disappear on their own when left in the sky.
    Likewise, the essence of awakening naturally ascends in space,
    When you free yourself from the clouds of cause and effect without effort.
    Different spiritual paths are due to gradations of intelligence.
  4. The essence of existence shines in the space of Dharmadhatu like the sun.
    Everything arises from her energy, like the rays of the sun,
    Which impartially fill the earth and reservoirs with warmth,
    As a result, clouds appear from water vapors,
    Darkening not only the very essence (of the sun), but even its energy (rays).
    Similarly, your vision of suchness is clouded
    Due to the impure manifestation of the self-energy of the essence itself (awareness).
    The deluded experiences of manifesting and existing in the universe defy imagination.
  5. Clouds are dispersed by the wind, driven by the energy of the same sun rays.
    Likewise, the manifestations of your own essence appear as its decoration when there is realization.
    Since delusion (which is originally free) is liberated in its own state,
    Then deluded experiences and clinging are purified in the main space without forced rejection,
    Leaving no hint of where they disappeared to.
    The spontaneously present sun of Kai and wisdom rises in the clear sky,
    Not coming from somewhere outside, but being your own pure vision.
  6. The wings of the “twice-born” (garuda) are formed while still inside the egg;
    And although it is not visible because of the covering shell,
    She soars into the sky as soon as she emerges from the egg.
    In the same way, although the defilements of deluded dualistic thinking have already been exhausted,
    Spontaneously present awareness spontaneously manifests in natural clarity,
    As soon as the shell (of the physical body) is “broken,” it is the result of those same impurities and their side effects.
    Visions of Kais and wisdoms fill the "sky" of the main space;
    Realizing your essence in them, you are liberated in the space of Samantabhadra.
  7. From the boundless and all-round manifestation of compassionate resonance
    Emanations occur that benefit all beings,
    By demonstrating enlightened deeds as long as samsara exists.
    So from the naturally present essence (awareness)
    Boundless compassionate energy arises,
    Whose manifestation abounds in benefits for others.
  8. At the time when the impure manifestation (energy) disappears along with all aspects,
    Emanations appear before darkened beings.
    They arise from the actual power of the Masters' compassion,
    Pure karma and prayers of beings with pure minds.
  9. Although at this stage there are countless emanations in all worlds
    Leading countless beings to awakening,
    They do not leave the space of the Dharmakaya of the Teachers themselves.
    Self-existent wakefulness does not fall into the extremes of constancy and nihilism.
    Naturally arising from the main space in the world of Ghanavyuh,
    An unimaginable multitude of Sambhogakayas appears
    Before the Vidyadharas, Dakinis and Bodhisattvas of the tenth bumi.
    They appear from the main space in its own dimension of spontaneous presence
    Because of the compassion of the Teachers and the good interests of those who need to be pacified.
  10. The essence of the Dharmakaya is self-existent wakefulness,
    Whereas its manifestation is an ocean of omniscient wisdom.
    She is present as a single bindu in the original basic space.
  11. The essence of the Sambhogakaya is the spontaneously present nature,
    Whereas its manifestation is the five enlightened diasporas and the five primordial wisdoms.
    It fills the entire heavenly space.
  12. The Nirmanakaya essence is a potential source of compassionate resonance.
    Its manifestation is revealed in any way, when and where pacification is necessary,
    And her great enlightened activity brings mastery.
  13. They are not realized by cause-and-effect efforts,
    And they manifest themselves in a state of liberated presence, because they have existed spontaneously from time immemorial.
    The highest mystery is revealed in this life to the most worthy,
    But even in the post-mortem state of the bardo, you will not part with it.
    This culminating path of the vajra essence
    Surpasses all chariots of cause and effect.

This was the thirteenth chapter of "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu",
demonstrating that enlightenment comes without effort or achievement, since all phenomena are initially in the enlightened state of the awakened mind.

Conclusion

  1. This is the hymn to the vajra essence of the nature of phenomena.
    This originally pure nature, like space,
    Naturally arose in an unchanging monastery, without soil or foundation,
    As a manifestation beyond change and transformation.
  2. This is the meaning of the great open space, the original all-encompassing equanimity.
    The state of primordial nature does not go anywhere,
    Since the unshakable and spontaneously present Dharmata
    Does not go to extremes or restrictions.
  3. The essential meaning, like space, is revealed “as it is”
    The King of the self-existent Great Space (Longchen),
    Who arrived in the open bosom of the ineffable core space,
    Where all the diversity of things is eternally and unshakably liberated in its natural state.
  4. I, the heavenly yogi, have described my experience
    At the moment of undeniable realization
    According to the meaning of the canon in accordance
    With twenty-one transmissions of the Division of Mind, three categories of the Division of Space and four cycles of the Division of Secret Instructions.
  5. Through this merit, may all beings without exception
    Reached effortlessly to the original abode.
    May they become Dharma Lords spontaneously realizing double benefits
    On the unchanged level of Samantabhadra!
  6. May there be happiness, prosperity and splendor throughout the world,
    May all desires be spontaneously fulfilled as in a pure land.
    Let the drum of Dharma thunder and the victorious banner of liberation flutter,
    Let the Doctrine flourish and the holy Teachings not fade away!

BBK 87.3 L76

Longchen Rabjam is considered the most realized and erudite Master in the entire history of the ancient Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, and the Dzogchen lineage in particular. He wrote more than 270 texts, of which the most famous are his works on Dzogchen, especially the collection of texts in which he expounds the Great Perfection Tantras. Among this collection called "The Seven Treasures of Longchenpa", the most outstanding is this text - "The Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu." This is the first text from the most secret Section of the Dzogchen Instructions Mengak-de (Upadesha) published publicly in Russian, and the most profound of all published books on Buddhism.

Longchen Rabjam. Precious Treasury of Dharmadhatu

Translator's Preface

We bring to your attention an outstanding text by the omniscient Longchenpa (1308-1363), known as the “Treasury of Dharmadhatu”. Longchen Rabjam is unanimously recognized as the most realized and erudite Master in the entire centuries-old history of the Tibetan Nyingma tradition, and in particular Dzogchen. Longchen Rabjam has always been, is and will be the most perfect example of an enlightened Master, Scientist and Saint in the context of Buddhism. His whole life was filled with amazing miracles, but his main miracle is embodied in his works, which he left behind. The corpus of his teachings contains more than 270 texts, but most have been lost over the centuries. Fortunately, Longchenpa's most significant and outstanding works have reached us. The "Seven Treasures of Longchenpa" (Longchen Dzodun) are the embodiment of his realization of the teachings of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen). Each of these Treasures is unique and inimitable, and I pray to all the masters of the Dzogchen lineage that all these texts will sooner or later become available to Russian practitioners.

With nothing but deep faith and devotion to Longchenpa and his teachings, I have ventured to translate the most outstanding text from the Seven Treasures in order to begin the translation of the rest of the wonderful texts of this great Master. "Treasury of Dharmadhatu" is a masterpiece of masterpieces, a copy of its realization. Among all of Longchenpa's works, this text is revered the most. The mere fact that it is in Russian means that the Russian language has received the blessing of the Dharmakai. No matter what other language this text is translated into, the blessing of the Dharmakaya is automatically transmitted to the entire nation and its language.

It is for this reason that I dared to translate “Treasury of Dharmadhatu” into Russian. Pronouncing such lofty words, I realize all the responsibility that lies with me for the correctness of the translation. When translating the text, I made every effort to ensure that the translation corresponded to the meaning of the words and, in particular, to the detailed commentary of the author. I tried to ensure that the translation did not sound like dry abstruse words, and for this I translated the text in a long-term Dzogchen retreat, meditating for a long time on the meaning of each sentence before translating it. This text was my additional practice during the retreat, as a result of which the translation process itself lasted almost six months. Contrary to the rules, I did not assign anyone to edit this text, because this text is not a product of mental creativity and does not intend to be translated, edited and read within the framework of ordinary reason. This text has one goal - to awaken in the reader an awareness of the nature of the mind, and any attempts to fit it into your ideas will only reduce the chances of awareness to zero. Since I can’t imagine which of the Russian editors was able to spend at least six months in a Treccio retreat editing this translation, I preferred to leave it in my own editorial office and on my own conscience. However, I realize that my translation cannot be completely perfect, if only because the Russian language lacks many adequate words and terms found in the original. One way or another, in the translation it was necessary to use inappropriate philosophical terms, English and Sanskrit borrowings and other gags. Therefore, I sincerely repent to Longchenpa, all the masters and defenders of Dzogchen, as well as to readers (especially critics) for unwittingly distorting the pristine beauty, elegance and poetry of the original.

I would never have undertaken this translation if I had not had the blessings of the actual Dzogchen lineage holders. Also, I would never have undertaken this (and do not recommend it to other Russian translators) if I did not have knowledge of the text itself, Longchenpa’s other works and his specific terminology. By the way, the entire root text is written in verse, and according to the rules of “poetry” of the Tibetan Masters it is not at all necessary

follow even basic grammatical rules. They justify this by the secrecy of the texts - “those who need it will understand, but others don’t need to know it at all.” Therefore, even for an ordinary Tibetan such a text will not reveal much meaning if you do not know what it is about. If I translated the root text word for word and as concisely as it sounds in Tibetan, then readers would accuse me of illiteracy. The most difficult thing in translation was precisely the preservation of poetic expressions and their compatibility with the norms of the Russian language. Please keep in mind that the root text was written almost seven hundred years ago and even for modern Tibetan Lamas it sounds about the same as “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” for you. The original sounds very condensed, symbolic and secretive. This is the norm in all root texts in Dzogchen, especially in the section of the Secret Instructions (Mengak-de). The root texts of Dzogchen must sound incomprehensible! I tried to translate the root text as clearly as possible so that the reader would have at least a small idea of ​​what we are talking about.

Don't be disappointed if some words don't make sense to you. They are not easy for ordinary people to understand. Longchenpa himself mentioned in this text that “the themes of this work are so profound that ordinary people will have difficulty comprehending their meaning...”

For this text to open the gates of meaning for you, it is important to read it with devotion to it and to Longchenpa himself, to begin reading with the development of Bodhichitta motivation and to read these words without adjusting them to your limited concepts and ideas. Many great Dzogchen Masters gained realization from Longchenpa's texts, particularly from the Treasury of Dharmadhatu. But the main factor in their implementation was devotion to Longchenpa, and not the number of works read. For example, Vydyadhara Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798) said: “When I read Longchenpa’s texts, I realized that he was the Buddha, the “second Buddha,” and a genuine devotion to him arose in my mind. I prayed to him from the depths of my heart, as a result of which he showed me his Body of Wisdom (Jnanakaya). Self-arising realization took possession of my mind. Since that time I have given instructions to hundreds of people who have come. Those who were overzealous and harbored hopes and fears did not advance beyond ordinary meditation. Too abstruse intellectuals remained with their concepts and judgments. Realization of the absolute is born only in those who follow the path of devotion." Jigme Lingpa himself counted the number of mantras recited only when he was in tears of devotion.

I received an oral transmission on this text in retreat from Lopon Jigme Rinpoche, who currently heads the Dzogchen Monastery of His Holiness Chatral Rinpoche. He kindly explained this text to me. Although the idea of ​​translating this text had been around for a long time, I did not dare to do so until I clearly saw favorable signs for this particular translation. I think the reason for these signs was my deep devotion to Longchenpa and his teachings. Some Khenpos even gave me the nickname “Longchenpa’s Disciple.” Due to inexplicable circumstances, in 2001 I received this magnificent text as a gift three times. The first time it was given to me by an American friend Brian, the second time it was given to me by Venerable Katok Situ Rinpoche (grandson of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche and terton incarnation of Dudjom Lingpa and Katok Mahapandita) along with Jigme Rinpoche. For the third time, on behalf of the American publishers and from her heart, it was presented to me by Paloma Landry (translator of Chagdud Tulku and owner of His American Center). Having already received the text, the rights, and the blessing of the Lamas, I decided to take on the translation and asked for a personal blessing at the monastery of His Holiness Chatral Rinpoche. Imagine my amazement when the Vajra Master sent me a personal copy of Chatral Rinpoche’s text on retreat! As I held the blessed text wrapped in old cloth in my hands, tears flowed from my eyes. After this, I decided to donate the proceeds to the construction of Chatral Rinpoche's new retreat center, which, apparently, will be the last project in His life.

Without the kindness and blessings of the above-mentioned people, this book would not have been published. I am especially grateful to Paloma Landry, whose kindness and love inspired me

Monastery-Academy of Yoga “Collection of Secrets”

Primordial Enlightenment, the Foundation of Manifest Awakening, the Unchanging Spontaneously Present Space of the Vajra Essence, the Nature of Mind is the Natural Great Perfection to which I bow, without establishing or leaving anything, without coming or going. The Highest Apogee of Views is the Sphere of the Inexpressible Nature of phenomena. Listen to me explain, in accordance with my realization, its Transcendental Essence, which has nothing to do with anything

PART 1
NON-EXISTENCE
Chapter 1
The Non-Existent Nature of things is that they are empty in their essence.
Whatever appears in the Great Realm of the heavenly Awakened Mind is devoid of an independent nature. No matter how changeably the four elements manifest through the Vessel of the World and the beings contained in it in the Heavenly Womb of the Open Basic Space, these empty forms are devoid of an independent nature, since they are manifestations of the Awakened Mind. No matter how illusory images appear, they are empty by nature and non-substantial. But also, all manifested and non-existent things - from the very moment of occurrence - have no substance and do not leave the Awakened Mind.
Just as dreams do not go beyond sleep, not having an independent nature from the very moment of their appearance, so everything that manifests and exists in Samsara and Nirvana does not leave the Sphere of the Awakened Mind and has neither substance nor characteristic features.
Although phenomena appear before the mind, they are neither the mind nor anything other than the mind! And since their illusory nature is clearly manifested in non-existence, they instantly transcend description, expression and imagination.
Therefore, understand that all phenomena that appear before the mind do not exist from the very moment of their occurrence!
Just as perceived objects have no independent nature, so the nature of the Awakened Mind that perceives them should be considered beyond all description, expression and imagination, for its inexpressible essence is like the sky!
In Self-Existing Awakening - the Heart of the Absolute - there are no cause-and-effect relationships. Therefore, the abyss of Samsara has been bridged! When there is neither good nor bad - Samsara and Nirvana are the Comprehensive Sphere of Equality!
In the absence of errors and obscurations, the three types of existence are erased. Since in the awakened nature of the mind, like the sky, there are no extremes, no limitations, no duality, there is no need to meditate on the view, observe vows, or strive for activities! Nothing darkens Awakening! There are no levels of realization to train at! There are no paths to go through! There are no subtle factors, no duality, no interdependence! When absurd ideas are abandoned, there is neither spirituality nor non-spirituality! This sphere, in which, as on a golden island - there is nothing to distinguish and remove - is the Self-Arose Nature of the Mind, like the sky - non-existent in nature and surpassing all descriptions and characteristics.
In the Heart of the Absolute - in the very perspective of awareness - there is nothing to correct! So there is no benefit even from virtue! There is nothing to change, so there is no harm from non-virtue! There is no karma and its results, and therefore there are no pleasant or unpleasant consequences. There is neither good nor bad there. So Samsara is not rejected, and Nirvana is not achieved!
It is inexpressible and indescribable. His sphere is free from this. There is no previous or subsequent.
And therefore - a series of lives - just a ribbon of labels!
How can they be appropriated at all?
Who even moves in Samsara?
What is karma? What other fruits does she ripen?
Conceive and explore this sky-like reality! Even if you analyze, comprehend and explore using logic, you will not find a single indivisible particle, substance, something separate, or an indivisible moment in time! So from this very moment in time, remain in the Essence of Absolute Reality, without dualistic clinging!
They do not exist upon examination, they do not exist without analysis - all phenomena in their diversity are Eternal Non-Existence, for they do not have the slightest point of support, even a purely conventional one! Understand that they are not material in nature, like an illusion!
When people deprived of knowledge see dreams or empty illusions, they are fettered by clinging. But those who are aware of their nature cannot be constrained! In the same way, those people who do not know the fact of non-existence are chained to Samsara by self-centered clinging. Then, as wise yogis, aware of suchness, at the same time they are defined in non-existence and liberated in the sphere of the nature of phenomena, where there is no cause-and-effect relationship.
In the Enlightened Nature of the Mind, free from constancy and impermanence, there is naturally present Awakening, devoid of dualistic clinging. In naked awareness, free from cause-and-effect relationships, there is the One Bindu, in which there is neither good nor evil. In unobstructed awareness, which has neither center nor edge, the All-Good Dimension of Dharmakaya is naturally present. In the Awakened Awareness - the Heart of Non-Existence - shines the objectless, completely pure Mind of the Victorious.
In the illusory yoga of self-manifestation of awareness, non-existent phenomena ascend in continuous play. Determined in their inexpressibility from the very moment of their emergence, yogis remain in the Great Freedom of Emancipation with an Open Blissful Mind - neither accepting nor rejecting, without making any strenuous efforts at all!
Deceived by non-existent phenomena - immature people - are like deer who, in thirst, chase a mirage of water. Hoping to find meaning in words conditioned by delusion, they fall into the shackles of corresponding self-centered philosophies. Since the eight stages of the path do not exclude the trap of ordinary reason - they lack the Natural Vision of the Absolute Essence!
Ati-Yoga is a Space Beyond Phenomena! Her immense, inexpressible nature does not leave the Natural Bed of the Dharmakaya even now!
It is spontaneously present in the Primordial Heavenly Space as the Great Bliss of Natural Peace.
If you do not realize Secret Awareness - Absolute Dimension - then you will never be liberated through intense practices! Don’t you know that everything conditioned is not constantly and is certainly destroyed?! How can this tight knot of ordinary body, speech and mind come into contact with the Indestructible Essence of the Absolute?!
So, if you want the Highest Meaning of the Natural State, leave all activities that, like children's games, fetter you, tiring your three gates!!!
The Sphere, non-existent by nature, Free from Complications, is the place where the Natural Great Perfection is located - the nature of phenomena. Contemplate the Essence of the Great Genuine Equanimity in the all-embracing inaction beyond thoughts!!!
Just decide on this, since it transcends both intense effort and cause-and-effect relationships! Self-awareness, free from external and internal dualistic clinging, has neither time nor dislocation! It transcends the fact of arising and ceasing! It is pure, like space and therefore does not need the mediation of lower paths! Since all thoughts on this matter are erroneous, then leave the darkening factors associated with the erroneous egocentric perception of phenomena!
The Indivisible All-Good State is determined in the Supreme Vastness of the Great Emptiness. The nature of phenomena takes its place without change or transformation.
In the Primordial Non-Abiding Heavenly Space, the outer shells of views are cut off and all the key points are revealed in the fact of non-existence.

Chapter 2
Having thus revealed the key point of Non-Existence - it should be said that the zone of awareness freely resting in a state of non-meditation - lies in the absence of appropriation and rejection of what arises. The Great Space is the Comprehensive Equal Sphere of the Mind. Indestructible Core Space - The Great Bliss of Natural Peace - is the Highest Spontaneously Present Meditation that does not need to be practiced! It is always present, like the flow of a great river. This is obvious if you are in Genuine Equanimity!
In the heavenly nature of phenomena, present as it is, there is neither abstraction nor non-distraction, for there is no change! This Comprehensive and Indivisible Supreme Space does not lie in the sphere of experience denoted by words!
Those yogis who have gone beyond thought and words, whose minds have not lost the openness of many teachings and whose naturally arising awareness overflows with wisdom, are clearly confident that it cannot be designated in one way or another.
Since you will not find in it either meditation or an object for meditation, there is no need to worry about the enemy’s drowsiness or excitement! Since phenomena and mind are initially free and inexpressible in their essence, the Sphere of Equanimity of the Nature of phenomena, where delusion naturally calms down, remains continuously in the space of the Dharmakaya.
Without any difference between emergence and liberation, thoughts merge in the One Blissful Space.
During emergence, they arise naturally, taking their own place. During their stay, they stay naturally, taking their own place. During liberation, they are liberated naturally, taking their own place.
Arising, abiding and self-liberating in the sphere of the nature of phenomena, they do not move anywhere, being only a play of the Dharmakaya.
Self-manifestation is the natural outlines of the Indivisible Emptiness, which reside in the Heart of the Absolute, in the absence of good and bad.
Whatever manifests and arises, all our projections are self-absorbed and the five emotional poisons are an expression of awareness. Whatever they appear at this very moment, you recognize their essence, improve their energy and they naturally disappear without a trace.
The Zone of Equanimity of Free Emancipation is located in the gap between objects and the mind.
The Zone of Self-Existing Awakening is without a trace, like the flight of a bird in the sky. Like waves in the water zone, everything is contained in the One Basic Space. That's why -
the nature of phenomena is such that you are liberated simply by understanding these key points!
At any moment within the Great Sphere of Realization of Self-Awareness, there is equal arising, equal abiding and equal liberation - beyond good and bad.
Since there are no such phenomena that would not remain, would not be liberated and would not be equal - Awakening lies in the Zone of the Initially Open Sphere. The Open Realization of Natural Peace - rises effortlessly from Uncreated Spontaneous Present Awareness. The Awakened Mind, beyond good and evil, causes and consequences, is contained in the State of the Unchangeable Nature of Phenomena.

Chapter 3
Shackling.
This Heavenly Dimension of Non-Existent Nature binds all phenomena without exception with its bonds.
Just as the Vessel of the World and its contents are embraced by the bonds of the Cosmos, so self-emerging phenomena are embraced by the Great Primordial Emptiness.
Samsara is just a label! You are beyond effort and achievement, cause and effect! In the context of Emptiness, there is neither harm to virtue nor benefit from virtue! Liberation is also a shortcut! Nirvana does not exist! You have nothing to strive for! You have nothing to achieve through the ten aspects of practice!
These tedious tasks in which you are diligent and persistent again and again are like children's Easter cakes made of sand! They are temporary things! Therefore, all phenomena, be it cause and effect, good and evil, effort and diligence, are initially captured by the Bonds of Non-Existence!
So, yogis who practice the Essence of Ati must bind the dimension of their essence - the meaning that surpasses religion - with the Heavenly Bonds of Inaction and decide that all the teachings of cause and effect intended for the guidance of immature children are paths for losers climbing up!
Actions are what deceive us! Just look at the deluded perception of Samsara! Effort is what spoils us! Just think about the illusory circle of suffering! Through good and evil, you will not stop the flow of pain and pleasure! But just accumulate karma and you will wander in the Higher and Lower Worlds! Thus you will not have a chance to be liberated from the ocean of conditional existence!
If you have interrupted the flow of good and evil and freed yourself from the duality of meetings and separations with the state of the nature of phenomena, then you are practicing real yoga - the Yoga of the Great Mystery, through which you will arrive in the Primordial State without strenuous efforts and capture the Royal Palace of the Primarily Present Dharmakaya.
Thus, all phenomena to which labels are attached and words and meaning are attached - good and bad, assimilated and rejected, causes and effects, actions and efforts - all of them do not exist from the very moment of occurrence and do not need actions - like space!!! For those who understand this, all phenomena are bound by the Bonds of Non-Existence!

Chapter 4
Defining experiences.
The defining experiences of Non-Existence are the Heart of the Absolute. Since all kinds of manifested things of Samsara and Nirvana, without exception, do not have an independent nature, they are beyond existence. Since their image of manifestation is continuous, they are beyond the limits of non-existence. Since they do not exist and are not absent, they surpass both. Since there is no such duality, non-duality is also beyond! Since there are no concepts of “is” and “is not,” the Heart of the Absolute cannot be described as something like that, for It transcends all expression and imagination. In this primordially pure Nature of phenomena there is nothing to attribute or reject.
However, those who do not understand the essence cling to their views - thereby constantly shackling themselves! How disturbing their emotions are! They cling to the attributes of their concepts. How deluded they are, perceiving non-existent things in a self-centered way! How tiring it is to grasp at extremes in the absence of restrictions! What a misfortune it is to constantly wander in Samsara! The Sun of the Absolute - Self-Existing Awareness - is darkened by both light and dark clouds of good and evil, overshadowed by the lightning of appropriation and rejection, effort and clinging! Due to the constant shower of erroneous perceptions, pain and pleasure, the seeds of Samsara develop into harvests of six life forms. Alas - how miserable are all these suffering creatures!
From the point of view of the defining essence of absolute meaning, ropes and golden chains bind equally! And in the same way - spirituality and non-spirituality - equally fetter the mind! Good and evil equally darken awareness - just as the darkness from light and dark clouds is equally darkened. Therefore, it is very important that yogis who have comprehended this fact go beyond cause and effect, good and evil!
When Self-Existing Awakening rises from within, purifying the night darkness of cause and effect, the Sun of the Absolute rises in the Sky of Phenomenon Space without any clouds of good and evil. This is the decisive experience of Absolute Reality.
You are defined in the non-existent nature of the ten aspects of practice, rising above all cause-and-effect paths. And your invisible samadhi transcends the realm of meditation. This Pure Self-Awareness, free from complications, is the Exhaustive Experience of all phenomena! Phenomena are exhausted in Him, and It is exhausted in phenomena. Since the sentence is given without taking into account exhaustion or non-exhaustion, you are clearly defined beyond existence and non-existence and their designations and descriptions.
Without orientation on anything - the Great Openness is limitless! How happy are the yogis who have transcended reason and exhausted phenomena! Merger with this very Reality - in the present, past and future - is inseparable from the Realization of the Nature of the Phenomena of the Single Basic Space.
Those who have mastered the awareness of Vidyadhara are equal to all the Victorious in their experience! The Unchangeable, Indivisible and Uncreated Sphere is the Space of Self-Existing Awakening, beyond effort and achievement! This is a realm that transcends expression and imagination, where all phenomena are just labels! In this All-Good State, free from actions, everything that appears is the Main Space of Samantabhadra! In the Space of Samantabhadra, manifestations are no better and no worse than Emptiness!
By perceiving the non-existent as existing - your delusion puts on labels! But even at the moment of labeling, there is no delusion or its opposite!
You come to experience the Great Serenity of Phenomena. This is the abiding Reality of Natural Great Perfection! Having determined the absence of delusion and non-delusion in relation to all kinds of phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana, you do not need to reject Samsara in order to achieve Nirvana! Having established yourself in the absence of birth and non-birth, you go beyond the sphere of perception within the framework of existence and non-existence, emergence and disappearance. Having determined the absence of purity and impurity, you remain in Equal All-Embracing without rejecting the bad and appropriating the good! All phenomena are experienced as the Sphere of Samantabhadra!
This was the first section of the Precious Treasury of the Natural State, defining the absolute ineffability of all phenomena.

PART 2
OPEN
Chapter 1
When the inexpressibility of the Natural State is fully comprehended, we are defined in its open nature.
The transmission of Ati-Yoga - the apogee of all spiritual paths - is like the sky, having neither middle nor edge.
What could be grander than the Great Open Mind of Samantabhadra, whose nature is Great Continuous Equanimity!
Since the invisible Awakened Mind, such as it is, and all kinds of existing phenomena - do not leave the freedom from complications, in which there is no center, no periphery, no orientation - they reside in the Great Continuity of Open Nature.
From the very moment of emergence, all phenomena and objects of perception are devoid of sides, fragments and substance, being limitless openness.
Since the self-aware mind cannot be divided into past and future, its limitless openness “as it is” is analogous to heaven.
When the past has disappeared and the future has not yet arrived, the state of the awakened mind in which there is no present is beyond the realm of characteristics, for it has no basis, root and substance.
Its natural openness is open in the middle of the sky. In the impartial and unbiased Heart of the Absolute there are no views, no initiations, no mandalas, no recitations. Without focusing on the vows of passing the paths and on training on the levels - openness is limitless in the Great Ungrounded Openness and is completely embodied in the awakened mind - the nature of phenomena. By virtue of the blessing of their unborn nature, all phenomena, no matter how they arise, are present spontaneously, neither coming nor passing away.
Thanks to the complete purity of freedom from thoughts, orientation, existence and non-existence, the nature of phenomena is wide open in the Great Perfection.
In absolute awareness - the Heart of Awakening - you will not see extremes. It is free from selective features. You will not establish it through words and logic! It is free from characteristics, constancy and nihilism - does not increase or decrease, does not come and does not go. Thanks to the complete purity of the Great Openness of Spontaneous Equanimity, the continuous openness is free from all restrictions and fragmentations.
Since Realization is not involved in hopes and fears, equanimity is continuous in everything that arises. In this self-arising, unprejudiced and unlimited state, as such, it is not possible to ever fall into the trap of clinging!
Since everything returns to the circles of its openness, the nature of all things is beyond the boundaries of affirmations and denials.
Just as the Vessel of the World and its contents are emptied in the sphere of the sky, affirmations and negations, passions and anger disappear in the original basic space. All this accumulation of thoughts leaves no traces, because they do not go anywhere.
In the boundless openness of the continuous state of awareness - the extremes of clinging to hopes and fears are transcended - the wedge of dualistic perception of the mind is knocked out and the city of erroneous manifestations of Samsara is devastated.
Therefore, for one who has comprehended the initially empty openness of all external phenomena, expressed in the play of objects of perception and in the playful energy of one’s own mind manifesting inside - all phenomena are revealed by the key of openness!

Chapter 2
The reality of the nature of phenomena lies in the zone of wide-open awakening of empty and clear awareness. Unfettered by clinging, beyond the objects of perception and devoid of focus of orientation - wide open clarity - unrestricted.
An undistracted enlightened mind, in which mental activity is exhausted, is like the sky, because both meditation and non-meditation are alien to its boundless openness. This is the Great Sphere of Samantabhadra's Mind. In this open Great Sphere of Clear and Void Awareness, various signs can continuously arise, but still, when the senses perceive them in nakedness, awareness illuminates the nature of the phenomena. The phenomena are not limited. Perception naturally occurs in pleasure.
The sixfold collection of consciousnesses is liberated.
This is the self-arising Realm of Awakening.
Because clear light is not limited either outside or inside - it is spontaneously present in the Great and Genuine Natural Peace.
Like a carefree person with nothing to do, your body and mind remain as comfortable as you like - without tension and targeted relaxation.
Boundlessly open awareness is like a clear sky. It resides indivisibly in the sphere of the space of phenomena. In the Heaven of Realization of the empty and clear nature of phenomena - unbridled awareness is continuously and wide open and unfettered by clinging, surpassing all thoughts and memory. Everything is completely open and collapsed in the Single Sphere of Realization. The blissful mind merges with the blissful state of the base. This state of the Awakened Mind, where the external and internal have a single taste, is the vision of the Exhaustive Nature of Phenomena residing in Reality.
At the moment when the intellect rushes towards objects and sense organs, the natural mind is wide open, and the experience is blissful and open. The Great Zone of Continuous Openness lies in the Self-Luminous Natural Radiation, not constrained by clinging.

Chapter 3
In the space of objects and mind, cleared of clinging - awareness free from mental turmoil - is bound by the bonds of the Natural Radiation of Openness. This is the vajra walking of the unlimited and continuous nature of phenomena.
Equal Awakening - the main Space of Suchness - is initially self-sealed by the Realization of Samantabhadra. Just as various dreams are contained in sleep, being untrue, empty self-manifestations, so the existing and manifested things of Samsara and Nirvana are contained in the mind.
Having no substance, they arise in his Great Sphere. Just as the entire immense Vessel of the World and its contents have neither end nor edge in outer space, representing a continuous openness, so all external and internal objects and thoughts that appear in the sphere of awareness are constrained by openness, like empty self-manifestations.
These are the bonds of the Awakened Mind, which embraces all phenomena. Openness demonstrates open-mindedness and freedom from dualistic clinging. In addition, the Incited Mind itself, which embraces all phenomena, is embraced by the Great Unprejudiced Openness without restrictions. Like outer space, which contains the world and creatures - it has neither an edge nor a middle!
It surpasses all expression and imagination!
In the Great Equatorial Awareness, free from extremes, all kinds of phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana arise without hindrance. But at the moment of emergence, neither the mind nor any of these phenomena can be designated as something like that, for they are covered by the wide-open nature of phenomena!
The Seal of the Awakened Mind, which no one can shake, was originally placed by the Great Openness of Samantabhadra. It is sealed by the Realization of the Guru - the Lord of Dharma and the Patron of beings and is itself sealed as the Primordial Enlightened Vajra Essence. The defining meaning of the Great Mystery lies in the possession of the Unchangeable Vajra Apogee and is beyond the experience of all those who are deprived of higher intellect and Great Luck.
Although this Clear Light of Awareness - the Great Sphere of Enlightened Mind - is located within ourselves, it is always difficult to comprehend it! He becomes visible only thanks to the kindness of the Guru - the Lord of Dharma and the Magnificent Patron!
This is what is called shackling all phenomena with the Bonds of Continuous Openness.

Chapter 4
The defining experiences of openness are the Heart of the Absolute.
All external phenomena are the Sphere of the Unborn Emptiness, which is beyond expressions and designations, because it does not remain, does not come and does not go.
Internal phenomena are free from fragmentary arising and liberation. Like a bird flying in the sky, they have no direction.
Both external objects and the inner mind - and self-existent awareness - are just labels! They are beyond symbols and descriptions and free from complications! They, like the sky, have no creator. And therefore, the state of emptiness is devoid of effort and action and is beyond good and bad, good and evil. It transcends cause and effect and is free from the ten natural attributes of practice.
Absolute Open Openness is a Sphere, free from designations and descriptions, which does not know existence. Being initially empty, it is devoid of spirituality and non-spirituality. The ineffable and unimaginable nature is experienced as the Great Perfection, free from intellectual reason.
This was the second section of the Precious Treasury of the Natural State - defining all phenomena in the Continuous Great Openness.

PART 3
SPONTANEOUS PRESENCE
Chapter 1
The spontaneously present nature is not created by anyone - it exists from the beginning.
Like the All-Fulfilling Jewel, the Awakened Mind represents the Base or Source of all the phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana. Just as all kinds of phenomena arise from the celestial sphere, so Samsara and Nirvana continuously arise from the Awakened mind. Just as various dreams appear in sleep, so the six life forms with the three worlds arise from the realm of the mind. From the very moment of emergence, all phenomena are the sphere of Awareness. They are the great manifestation of the Void and spontaneously present Ground.
The ground of being is not in its nature one or the same as the process of manifestation of the ground that ascends initially through the Gate of Spontaneously Present Awareness.
The energy of the basis of being, expressed in Samsara and Nirvana, manifests itself in an impure and pure way, respectively. However, even during manifestation, neither of these two aspects is worse or better than the other, occurring in a single basic space.
When rainbow light emerges freely from a crystal, the light spectrum is perceived in different colors, but none of them is worse or better, because they are all the energy of the same crystal ball
The GROUND, self-awareness, is like this crystal ball: Its emptiness is the nature of the Dharmakaya,
The natural radiation of its luminosity is
Sambhogakaya, And its unobstructed gates
potential occurrence - Nirmanakaya.
The three Kayas are spontaneously present in the space of the Ground. When its manifestation rises from the Ground of Existence, then the three aspects of its own nature - emptiness, luminosity and diversity, which is the energy of the Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya - are equally embodied, as in the pure self-manifestations of the three Victorious Kayas - so and in all impure manifestations of the worlds and the beings contained in them.
These three Kayas, expressed in the energy of the manifested Ground of being, are spontaneously present as your self-manifestation, which does not need to be sought anywhere else. Having well understood what these differences are, you must comprehend that in the realm of the Awakened Mind, all the phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana are the spontaneously present world of the three Kayas.
Kayas and Awakening of Buddhas of the Three Times, Body, Speech and Mind of Beings of the Three Worlds, as well as Their Emotions, Karma
and all manifest and existing things, without exception, are nothing other than the Awakened Mind.
The Sphere of Spontaneous Presence is the Source,
from which everything arises.
Everything that manifests itself in form - the outer world and the beings within it - is the Limitless Enlightened Body, rising in the circle of ornaments.
Higher, middle and lower sounds and voices are boundless enlightened Speech rising in the circle of decorations.
Both mind and awakening, both realization and its absence - This is the limitless Enlightened Mind,
ascending in the circle of decorations.
Since boundless enlightened qualities and activities arise from it, the Precious space of phenomena is the All-Fulfilling Jewel. Since everything naturally arises in it without searching, it is called
"SELF-EXISTENT AWAKENESS,
WHICH IS SPONTANEOUSLY PRESENT.”
The spontaneously present basis of various phenomena is the Awakened Mind, which is always spontaneously present, and therefore the three Kayas are present in you as your own dimensions without the need to seek.
Because there is no need to be zealous about good and evil
And persist in cause-and-effect relationships -
Just merge with the reality of natural liberation without any action.
The realm of Spontaneous Presence is devoid of effort, action, acceptance and rejection.
From now on, don't make any effort,
since all phenomena are already perfect!!!
Since the awakening of all the Victorious Ones of the three times is Spontaneously present as the Great Bliss of Natural Peace - Contemplate the heavenly nature without action,
Without relying on cause and effect doctrines,
Designed for those deprived of luck!
The “AS IS” state cannot be achieved!!! So cut off all intellectual
search for hopes and fears in the Great, Genuine Spontaneous Presence that has been so from the beginning, and know the genuine spontaneous presence in the main space.
All phenomena, no matter how they arise, have a genuine essence, nature and energy that express the Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Nirmakaya.
Samsara and Nirvana are the realm of the Awakened Mind of the three Kayas, spontaneously present in great genuine equanimity. Therefore, there is no need to reject Samsara and achieve Nirvana. Having relaxed from absurd ideas, stay in the Heart of the Absolute. All phenomena are revealed in the realm of the Awakened Mind by the Key of primordial spontaneous presence.

Chapter 2
The zone of Spontaneous Presence contains all phenomena.
The Five Great Elements and their manifestations as the World and beings initially arise from the Non-Conceptual Spontaneous Presence. Without concepts about yourself and others - they are contained in the zone of your own mind - without action and without effort, like Self-Luminous Purity. Do not block perceived objects, but liberate your six consciousnesses!
All creative foundations are spontaneously present as Luminous Radiation.
The area of ​​the five gates, untouched by conceivable projections, is the spontaneously present dimension of the Dharmakaya of Void Awareness. Recognize Her nature! Decide on Her! And rest peacefully in freedom from complications!
In the Great Sphere of Self-Awareness - Unlimited Purity - the zone of continuous equanimity of any manifested objects and mind is contained in the interval of spontaneous presence of natural meditation.
At any time, like the flow of a great river - Spontaneously Present Awakening - is continuous even without meditation! The Self-existent Primordial Sphere - the Heart of all phenomena - reaches the level of Samantabhadra's Realization. The Awakened Mind is like the sky, which can symbolize everything.
Everything that exists is contained in the Celestial Sphere and is purely by nature, without any effort or achievement.
In the same way, all external and internal phenomena are spontaneously contained in the Zone of the Great Spontaneous Presence - in whatever arises - beyond the realm of imagination, where there is nothing to do. Without being born and without interruption, without coming and without going - uniting all the enlightened dimensions of the Victorious "As It Is" - Spontaneous Presence is pure unshakable samadhi.
All phenomena are contained in a zone of inaction.

Chapter 3
Moreover, all phenomena are bound by the bonds of Spontaneous Presence. Everything that arises and exists is spontaneously present, as your self-manifestation!
Samsara and Nirvana are spontaneously present as play.
The Awakened Mind is spontaneously present from the beginning! So all phenomena are nothing but Spontaneous Presence, because the nature of the mind is spontaneously present. The Essence and Source of the Ground of Existence is contained in the Awakened Mind. Since She is spontaneously present without effort and without ten aspects of practice, there is no need to strive in view, meditation and samadhi! There is no need to achieve anything through cause and effect! There is no need to create a turmoil of hopes and fears! This present Spontaneous Presence is the Primordial Dharmakaya!
Although in the Great Space of the Nature of Mind - the Unchanging Celestial Sphere - Samsara and Nirvana naturally arise from the Sphere of the Three Kayas - nevertheless, they never leave it. There is no certainty in this game!
This is the Magic of the Treasury of Energy!
Since everything arises in a single way, as the All-Good Spontaneous Presence, both Samsara and Nirvana are subordinate to you, which do not leave the main space. Since everything is beautiful, there is nothing negative! The Spontaneous Presence of everything is the Space of the Vajra Essence! All phenomena are initially bound by the bonds of Spontaneous Presence.

Chapter 4
The defining experience of this is spontaneously present by nature. In Spontaneous Presence, which is not limited either without or within - all things are your self-manifestation, which does not come or go, is not established or eliminated.
The Great Comprehensive Sphere, in which there are no sides, no top, no bottom, is in no way predetermined and not limited by anything at all, as something like that.
Since the essence of phenomena is initially pure, and their nature is spontaneously present, they are free from the four extremes of existence and non-existence, constancy and nihilism.
These are the properties of the non-dual Awakened Mind. Originally, Pure Essence cannot be established as anything at all! Her originally pure nature is like the sky. The Essence of Spontaneous Presence is not created by anyone! And the process of his ascent is continuous and manifests itself in everything.
The source of Samsara and Nirvana has neither beginning nor end, neither past nor future. The Unborn and Undefined Spontaneous Presence is the Absolute Ground of Existence. The beginningless and endless process of ascension of the Spontaneous Presence - its True Reality - has no substance and no orientation. The image of the liberation of things is continuous, in the absence of an independent nature. As soon as things arise, they are immediately resolved. This is called “Exhaustive Dissolution in the Dharmakaya of the Ground Space.” Just as clouds dissolve into the sky from which they came, or light from a crystal disappears back into the crystal, so the manifested base, rising from the potential ground, along with Samsara and Nirvana, takes its position of Primordial Purity in the essential Ground of Being .
When the Spontaneous Presence collapses in its own Bed of the Main Space - this is the Greatest Judgment of all phenomena! All mental constructs naturally dissolve in non-conceptual space. When the six consciousnesses dissolve in the Dharmakaya's Own Bed, then all objects and phenomena that arise now are experienced as the One Equality of External and Internal and Spontaneous Presence is resolved in the Basic Space. In the Absolute Experience of Manifest Enlightenment, the self-manifestations of Samsara and Nirvana are resolved in Unmanifest Awakening.
In the same way, you can experience an empty, clear and transparent state right now if you leave the projections of the mind and perception - in the natural peace of luminous space and free the Natural Non-Conceptual Presence from complications! This is called "Stable Presence in the Precious Sphere."
If you do not decide now in the Natural Bed of Space, then Liberation in the Primordial Basis will not come sometime later!
Through intense concentration, which does not liberate in the Space of the Base, you will achieve not freedom, but a high rebirth among the Gods!
Therefore, both now - and at any moment after this - it is important to instantly determine the samadhi of natural presence in the inner space!
All phenomena are experienced in spontaneously present awareness. Spontaneous presence is experienced in the Natural Cradle of Great Primordial Purity. Primordial Purity is experienced in Ineffability without thought or orientation.
This is the Defining Experience of Spontaneous Presence.
This was the third section of the Precious Treasury of the Natural State, defining all phenomena in the Primordial Spontaneous Presence.

PART 4
UNITY
Chapter 1
I will now demonstrate the Nature of Unity.
Unitary awareness is the basis of all phenomena.
Although it manifests itself in diversity, it is said that it does not leave Unity. Self-existent Awakening is shown as the One Source of all phenomena. Although, due to appropriate conditions - both fire and water can appear from one jewel - they have a single source - pure azure.
Likewise, from the Unified Awareness both Samsara and Nirvana arise. But they have one Source - the absolute Awakened Mind. The whole point is only in the illusory difference between awareness and its absence. All kinds of phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana arise only in the perspective of awareness, but also at the moment of occurrence - they have a single empty essence. Like a dream, an illusion, or the reflection of the moon in water, like space, the awareness of the four visions has no substance. It is one in freedom from complications, being totally primordial emptiness. Since everything is initially pure in a single space, there is no such thing as duality, for everything is contained in the One Bindu as an amazing Dharmakaya, free from edges and corners.
Although the five elements appear in the realm of the awakened mind, they are not born and do not leave the one equanimity. Although the empty forms of the six types of beings appear in conditioned existence, they do not leave the sphere of awareness of the manifested base.
Although there appears to be happiness and suffering, they are essential states of Awakening that do not leave the One Self-Existing Awakening. Therefore, all phenomena are an empty sphere of a single basic space. They should be understood as the Unborn Awakened Mind.
The Unified Realization of the Victorious Three Times is present in this space of the Great Sphere of Awareness. The palace of the unshakable essence of awakening is free from individual complications and cannot be perceived as a multitude. It is there, and not somewhere else, that self-existent Awakening reigns! This Precious Treasury of phenomena is the all-fulfilling Jewel - the Pure Land of the Victorious, where the three Kayas are spontaneously present.
This unique Great Sphere was not created by anyone.
All phenomena, without exception, are projected from it - united in their root Source, from which they originated contrary to cause-and-effect relationships. She herself is the Void Luminosity - the Great Openness of the Nature of phenomena - clear, like a clear sky and free from fragmentary limitations.
Although this self-existent singularity produces both Samsara and Nirvana, awareness - its root - is not created by anyone and remains like the sky - beyond action and effort.
In accordance with the meaning of this analogy, many absurd ideas subside in the state of the Great Sphere of a single basic space.
In the Heart of the Absolute, beyond existence and non-existence, all phenomena arise in continuous play. However, their own nature is an unimaginable and ineffable realm, beyond all linguistic and verbal conventions.
In the context of the awakening of the all-producing essence, there is no duality! But if you try to count all things, then no one can do it!
The Buddhas and living beings we perceive, manifesting and existing, the Vessel of the World and its contents do not leave the single nature of phenomena “As it is.” Everything is interconnected in Unity!
All phenomena are perfect!
This is the Great Quality of the Awakened Mind!
Whenever and whatever appears - leave your absurd ideas!!! All external phenomena should be understood as natural emanations of the empty and non-dual nature of the mind! Then, as internal phenomena, this is awareness as such!
In the nature of phenomena, which does not exist either in one thing or in many, the comprehension of the Unified Space is revealed as the Key Point of Awareness!

Chapter 2
All phenomena are contained in the zone of a single taste.
All perceived objects are deceptive manifestations of the void realm. No matter how they appear - remain in a single, genuine state! Whatever arises, the single empty luminosity rises right in it!
All thoughts about the mind and phenomena naturally disappear in a state of emptiness! No matter how they flash - relax in the natural presence!
The realization of the nature of phenomena is illuminated from within mental movements and projections. Inherent in a time of continuous equanimity of objects and mind - remain free from orientation and fulcrum so that your clarity leaves no trace! The awakening of the higher vision is illuminated from the reality of natural radiation.
There are three key points in the single entity zone:
1. Equality is initially independent of the presence
or lack of implementation.
2. There is no equanimity in the Dharmakaya
duality of objects and mind.
3. Equanimity as an enlightened dimension -
devoid of the duality of errors and obscurations.
Thus, the Absolute's own position
is captured continuously.
Without rejecting or establishing anything, you meet the defining essence! Without coming and without leaving, you remain in the dimension of the nature of phenomena - an all-encompassing, unchanging state!
How great and open is the mind of the Victorious, equal to the sky! The sphere of a single bindu is beyond renunciation and achievement! You are free in your own state - where there is neither realization nor its absence!
You have reached an exhaustive state - a spacious openness, beyond reason!
From the tip of the unsetting Banner of Victory, the Sun and Moon shine, illuminating the whole world!

Chapter 3
All phenomena are bound by a single self-awareness.
Although endless and countless appearing and existing things arise, they arise from the basic space. And therefore, from the very beginning they are covered by the space from which they arise. From the very moment of manifestation of the present diversity, it did not move anywhere from the state of awareness. So phenomena are bound by the realm of self-existent awareness.
Without any difference between arising and liberation, they disappear into the basic space and become nothing other than the awakened mind. Therefore, they are constrained by the single nature of phenomena, in which they were initially exhausted. For this reason, all phenomena are bound by a single awareness. The unchanging heart of the Absolute is bound in the unshakable essence of awakening - awareness and is completely embraced in the uncreated and unchanging.

Chapter 4
Self-existent wakefulness is the only defining experience.
In beginningless and infinite space, everything is completely perfect and all mental structures are calmed down. All phenomena reside in the heart of the Absolute - the nature of phenomena. Thus, external objects and the inner mind, the phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana, are free from particular complications and differences between gross and subtle. They are experienced as initially empty space, like the sky.
Even if you examine the awakened mind - it has no substance - it is not born and does not remain, does not go and does not come, cannot be designated and is beyond description. Once you are in the realm of the enlightened mind, which transcends reason, you will not be able to show it as something like that, because it has no characteristic substance; it is not expressed in words and is not understood through sounds.
You experience the manifest and existing phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana - as a great serene sphere, free from mental constructs. You experience self-awareness of phenomena in the great realm of empty unborn vision. You experience the phenomena of the awakened mind - as a great sphere where there is neither awareness nor lack of awareness.
You experience completely and initially empty phenomena in a great sphere that does not change for three times.
This was the fourth section of the “Precious Treasury of the Natural State,” which identifies the unified awakened awareness as the source of all phenomena.

Epilogue
May all beings, without exception, be liberated effortlessly in the space of the beginningless basis through this Teaching, which directly and without concealment shows the meaning of the Great Most Secret Perfection!
This Teaching, devoid of the shells of external views, is the Apogee of all Spiritual Paths - the Royal Space of the Great Garuda!
So let the Ati-Yogikh transmission, towering above all others, unfold its immortal Banner of Victory in ten directions!
This concludes the “Precious Treasury of the Natural State,” which was compiled by the Supreme Vehicle yogi Longchen Rabjam.
For good! For good! For good!

Longchen Rabjam (1308–1363) is a great Teacher of the Nyingma tradition, and in particular Dzogchen, a teaching of great perfection, who achieved the realization of the Dharmakaya, the completion of the stage of “exhaustion of phenomena.”

“Precious Treasury of Oral Instructions” is one of Longchenpa’s most significant and outstanding works, included in the “Seven Treasures of Longchenpa” (Longchen dzodun). It is a collection of profound instructions on the teachings of the sutras, tantras and especially Dzogchen. In this treatise, the Teacher gave invaluable advice for those at all possible stages of spiritual practice and levels of realization, both for the most capable and for those whose abilities to comprehend are not so great - for all those who relate themselves to “something.”

Translator's Preface

The published treatise is a collection of profound instructions on the teachings of sutras, tantras and dzogchen given by Longchen Rabjam (1308–1363) - the great Teacher who reached the completion of the stage of “exhaustion of phenomena” (meaning the cessation of clinging to any experience, including the experience of clear light , and, accordingly, not relating Oneself to anything that can be expressed) and called realization in Dzogchen dharmakaya. The instructions of such a Teacher are truly rare and precious, since these are living words coming from the abyss of direct comprehension, and not from the dead wisdom of borrowed knowledge. These living words are capable of eroding the supports of correlation with the coarse, the subtle, and the super-subtle for those who listen to them with all sincerity and trust and put them into practice.

The treatise is written entirely in poetic form. Each verse contains basically six (some less than six, some as many as seven) tips or principles related to spiritual practice.

Out of boundless compassion, the Teacher gave in this treatise invaluable advice - healing remedies for confusion for those at all possible stages of spiritual practice and levels of realization, both for the most capable and for those whose abilities to comprehend are not so great - for all those who relate to themselves with something". These instructions are a blessing dharmakaya, they are truly priceless. By reading this book, having liberated “your” consciousness, uniting it with it, you can feel the Presence, life-giving and liberating.
