When you think "I exist" or "I don't exist" That's how you fall into realism, or become a nihilist To know your true nature, think of the clear sky at night And on a beautiful lake, the moon that shines so bright! Appearance and emptiness, no one can separate This is how you have to meditate!
From the song "Eight Orders for My Students" by KTGR, December 21, 1997. Translated by Ari Goldfield, revised February 6, 1998.
Know this life to be like a dream. See the mind’s unborn nature. Aspire to be of benefit to others.
