Wherever space pervades, 

There the enlightened body also spreads.

Wherever the enlightened body is situated,

There enlightened speech is also found.

Wherever enlightened speech resounds,

There the enlightened mind is present!

Realising the five aggregates of my personality to be the expressive dance of five buddhas – my body is happy.

Reciting the essential mantra of the meditation deity and singing his praise – my speech is happy.

Merging present awareness with luminous emptiness – my mind is happy.

Happy in body, speech and mind in this life as the two accumulations grow – in the next life, too, I will be happy.

Illusory appearances being spontaneously liberated, they vanish as soon as they are seen – so leave them just where they are.

This liberation being complete and perfect, there is no need for exertion.
Relax!

Just as a bird with undeveloped wings cannot fly in the sky, so, too, those who lack the power of higher perception cannot accomplish the welfare of living beings.

The merit gained in a single day by one who possesses higher perception cannot be gained even in a hundred lifetimes by one in whom the faculty of higher perception is absent.

One who wishes to quickly gather the accumulations of merit and wisdom for perfect enlightenment will strive with enthusiasm to reach a higher perception, but, without the attainment of calm abiding, no higher perception will be gained.

Therefore one should strive again and again to accomplish calm abiding ...
