Letter to A Friend

40
Constantly and perfectly reflect
On love, compassion, joy, impartiality.
And should you not attain the higher state,
At least you will find bliss in Brahma’s world.
41
The four samadhis [of form realm], which in turn discard
Pursuit of pleasure, joy and bliss and pain,
Will lead to fortune equal to the gods’
In Brahma, Light, Great Virtue, or Great Fruit.

Entering The Middle Way

Because entities do not arise
from no cause, from causes such as Īśvara,
from self, from other, or from both;
they arise entirely through dependence. 6.114

Sixty Stanzas of Reasoning

Homage to the youthful Manjushri.

Homage to the Able One
Who taught dependent origination,

3. If things were [really] true,
As the naïve construe them,
Then why not accept
Their annihilation as liberation?

4. [You] cannot be liberated through absolutism,
Nor escape this existence through nihilism.
Great souls are liberated
By fully understanding being and nothing.

5. Those who do not see reality presume
The [duality of] life-cycle and nirvana;
Those who do see reality do not presume
Either a life-cycle or a nirvana.

Homage

That which originates dependently
Does not cease and does not arise,
Does not come and does not go,
Is not annihilated and is not permanent,
Is not different and not the same.

To the true teacher who reveals this peace,
The complete pacification of constructs,
To the perfect Buddha I bow down
