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 |
