Padmasambhava

As the lucid wakefulness between is delightful, you recognize your own nature.

How are perceived objects outside purified?

This present awareness, the awakened state of mind, is unspoiled by thought and perceives as a natural brightness.

Let it be like that.

and objects are perceived without being clung to.

In this way, no matter how appearances appear, they are in fact not real and are not held to be actual things.

Thus, no matter what you perceive, be it the earth or rocks, mountains or cliffs, plants or trees, houses or castles, goods or utensils, friends or foes,

family members or companions, husband or wife, sons or daughters.

Towards all these and other things, you are uninvolved in the attitude of claiming ownership.

And so they are perceived

but not held to be that way.

By being free of clinging to anything whatsoever, you are purified of objects perceived externally.

Objects being purified does not mean that you stop perceiving.

It means not to hold and cling while being bright and empty.

Like the example of reflections in a mirror, they appear but are empty in that there is nothing to grasp.

and your perceptions are known as perceptions occurring to yourself.

By means of the inner perceiving mind being purified, here is the instruction in liberating non-clinging awareness in itself.

No matter what occurs in your mind, the flow of thoughts, memories, or the five poisonous emotions,

When you do not focus upon them, the movement vanishes by itself.

Thus, you are untainted by the faults of thinking.
