The source of phenomena, of samsara, and nirvana
Is the true nature of one’s own mind:
An immense expanse that is an empty, brilliance,
Completely free of taking things as real.
This I have realized.
If I look towards the one who realizes this,
One’s own awareness,
It is like the sky.
Set free, beyond clinging
In the unborn expanse of the
Ultimate nature of mind.

Shakbar (1781-1851)
