Padmasambhava

It has no colour or shape to identify it, but is utterly empty and completely awake.

That is the nature of your mind.

Having recognized it as such, to become certain about it, that is the view.

To remain undistracted in the state of stillness, without fabrication or fixation, that is the meditation.

In that state, to be free from clinging or attachment, accepting or rejecting, hope or fear, toward any of the experiences of the six senses.

That is the action.

Whatever doubt or hesitation occurs, supplicate your Master.

Don't remain in places of ordinary people.

Practice in seclusion.

Give up your clinging to whatever you are most attached to, as well as to whomever you have the strongest bond with in this life.

and practice.

Like that, although your body remains in human form, your mind is equal to the Buddha's.

At the time of dying, you should practice as follows.

By earth dissolving in water, the body becomes heavy and cannot support itself.

By water dissolving in fire, the mouth and nose dry up.

By fire dissolving in wind, body heat disappears.

By wind dissolving in consciousness, one cannot but exhale with a rattle and inhale with a gasp.

At that time the feelings of being pressed down by a huge mountain, being trapped within darkness,

or being dropped into the expanse of space occur.

All these experiences are accompanied by thunderous and ringing sounds.
