Padmasambhava

Resolve that it is not to be sought for elsewhere.

When you understand the view in this way and want to apply it in your experience, wherever you stay is the mountain retreat of your body.

Whatever external appearance you perceive is a naturally occurring appearance and a naturally empty emptiness.

Let it be, free from mental constructs.

Naturally freed appearances become your helpers and you can practice while taking appearances as the path.

Within, whatever moves in your mind, whatever you think, has no essence but is empty.

Thought occurrences are naturally freed.

When remembering your mind essence, you can take thoughts as the path and the practice is easy.

As for the innermost advice, no matter what kind of disturbing emotion you feel, look into the emotion and it tracelessly subsides.

the disturbing emotion is thus naturally freed.

This is simple to practice.

When you can practice in this way, your meditation training is not confined to sessions.

Knowing that everything is a helper, your meditation experience is unchanging.

The innate nature is unceasing.

And your conduct is unshackled.

Wherever you stay, you are never apart from the innate nature.

Once you realize this, your material body may be old, but awakened mind doesn't age.

It knows no difference between young and old.

The innate nature is beyond bias and partiality.

When you recognize that awareness, innate wakefulness is present in yourself.
