being without any distraction or grasping
Meditation consists of being attentive to such a state of rigpa,
free from all mental constructions, whilst remaining fully
relaxed,
without any distraction or grasping. For it is said that
meditation is not striving, but naturally becoming assimilated into
it.
how to overcome dreamy dullness
In meditation practice, you might experience a muddy,
semiconscious, drifting state, like having a hood over your head: a
dreamy
dullness. This is really nothing more than a kind of blurred and
mindless stagnation. How do you get out of this state? Alert
yourself, straighten your back, breathe the stale air out of
your lungs, and direct your awareness into clear space to freshen
your
mind. If you remain in this stagnant state you will not evolve,
so whenever this setback arises, clear it again and again. It
is
important to be as watchful as possible, and to stay as vigilant
as you can.
finding the lama in your heart
Since pure awareness of nowness is the real buddha,
In openness and contentment I found the lama in my heart.
When we realize this unending natural mind is the very nature of
the lama,
Then there is no need for attached, grasping, or weeping prayers
or artificial complaints,
By simply relaxing in this uncontrived, open, and natural
state,
We obtain the blessing of aimless self-liberation of whatever
arises.
outside and inside
I recognize that the ultimate teaching of sutra and tantra
Is emptiness, but cant make use of that recognition;
My mindstream stays hard as horn.
When I practice remaining in minds true condition
I am without stability,
yet I mouth off about the profound view
And toss cause and effect to the winds.
On the outsideI can give a show of good behavior;
On the inside desire, attachment, greed rage like fire.
reaching the state of great equilibrium
Action is being truly observant of your own thoughts, good or
bad, looking into the true nature of whatever thoughts may
arise,
neither tracing the past nor inviting the future, neither
allowing any clinging to experiences of joy, nor being overcome by
sad
situations. In so doing, you try to reach and remain in the
state of great equilibrium, where all good and bad, peace and
distress,
are devoid of true identity.
deeper and deeper

The more and more you listen, the more and more you hear; the
more and more you hear, the deeper and deeper your
understanding becomes.
the pith instruction of all practices
In brief, taking your own mind as witness, make your life and
practice one, and at the time of death, with no thought of
anything
left undone, do not be ashamed of yourself. This itself is the
pith instruction of all practices.
courages life
At all times, do not lose courage in your inner awareness;
uplift yourself, while assuming a humble position in your outer
demeanor. Follow the example of the life and complete liberation
of previous accomplished masters (siddha). Do not blame your
past karma; instead, be someone who purely and flawlessly
practices the dharma. Do not blame temporary negative
circumstances; instead, be someone who remains steadfast in the
face of whatever circumstances may arise.
remaining in the nakedness of ultimate reality
Take your stand on the ultimate practice of the heart essence
samsara and nirvana are the display of awareness. Without
distraction, without meditation, in a state of natural
relaxation, constantly remain in the pure, all-penetrating
nakedness of
ultimate reality.

In brief, taking your own mind as witness, make your life and
practice one, and at the time of death, with no thought of

the state of uninhibited naked ease
Buddhahood is not attained by fabricated dharmas.
Meditation made by the mind, fabricated by the intellect, is the
deceiving enemy.
Now, clinging to style and manner is destroyed with crazy
abandon.
Let this life be spent in the state of uninhibited naked
ease!
the face of non-dual awareness
But whatyou may askis it like to recognize the face of non-dual
awareness? Although one experiences it, one cannot
describe it. It would be like a mute person trying to describe
dreams. It is impossible to distinguish between oneself resting
in
non-dual awareness and the non-dual awareness one is
experiencing. When one rests naturallynakedlyin the boundless
state
of non-dual awareness, the urgency of injudicious hyperactive
conceptuality, memories, and troublesome plans evaporates and
disappears in the spacious sky of awareness. Referentiality
collapses and vanishes into non-dual awareness.

No example can point to it
Samsara does not make it worse
Nirvana does not make it better
It has never been born
It has never ceased
It has never been liberated
It has never been deluded
It has never existed
It has never been nonexistent
It has no limits at all
It does not fall into any kind of category
relax at ease

This fresh present knowing,
Unbound by the intellect that clings to meditation,
Is naked unobstructed non-meditation.
Relax at ease
And settle in the state of naturalness.
This is the meaning of realization of meditation.
When thoughts move, let them.
Movement arises and is liberated without a trace.
When there is no movement, dont search for it.
This is empty luminosity, naked empty awareness.
Tantric practice without suppression or cultivation of
thoughts
Brings the accomplishment of the destruction of hope and
fear.
There is nothing more to add to this.
Madman Dudjom said this:
Let it remain like this in your heart.
