Awareness Is Timeless Freedom
If through the key point of effortlessness, there's familiarity with the very essence of timeless awareness, the natural presence of points of view, although beneficial awareness is timelessly present, there is realization of awareness anew.
This is the unsurpassable pinnacle of unchanging timeless wisdom, the vast expanse of beneficial awareness.
Although the orbs of the sun and moon are radiantly luminous in the vault of the sky, they can be completely obscured by thick clouds which prevent them from being seen. This parallels the way in which wisdom awareness, though present within us, is not fully evident.
Thick clouds and circular rainbows too vanish naturally, one left alone in the sky. Similarly, the clouds of points of view vanish without effort or striving. And the very essence of wisdom awareness shines in and of itself as the vast expanse of basic space.
The essence of awareness is like the sun shining clearly within the expanse of the basic space of points of view.
Everything arises without bias due to its dynamic energy, which is like the sun's rays. Similarly, the display of points of view, the natural dynamic energy deriving from the essence of the basic space of awareness itself is entirely beneficial.
The array of points of view consists of an inconceivable expanse of timeless awareness, knowing itself.
The dynamic energy of the sun's rays stirs the wind that disperses clouds. Similarly, just with resting as awareness, with the realization of the very essence of timeless awareness, effortless, pure space, its display of points of view is experienced as its luster.
Confusion, which has always been free, is now free in its own place. All points of view are purified as the basic space of timeless wisdom without having to be renounced. There is no idea of where they have gone, and that is amazing.
The naturally present sun shines as timeless awareness in the crystal clear sky. Timeless wisdom does not come from somewhere else, but is simply awareness's own pure manifestation.
The fact that points of view are outshone in their own places is due to the key point that the stainless purity of awareness is a naturally present reality of imperturbable rest.
According to the distinctive principle of this approach, what binds the ordinary conventional mind arises as the reality of freedom. For all points of view arises the ground of effortless wisdom.
The power and skill of the eagle's wings are already perfected while resting within the shell. As long as it is enveloped by the shell, this is not evident, but when the shell breaks, the eagle simultaneously soars into the vault of the sky. Likewise, the belief in points of view is perfected into timeless wisdom by resting in awareness.
When the shell non-recognition of awareness breaks, naturally present awareness immediately arises in and of itself naturally lucid. Self-accomplished wisdom awareness self-occurs and expands.
Wisdom body, speech, mind qualities and activities pervade filling the stainless sky.
The vast perspective of timeless awareness is the basic space of wisdom.
With the recognition of the very essence of being comes freedom as the expanse of timeless wisdom. From that immeasurable, unconditioned, effortless love and wisdom activity benefits all beings.
Since the display of beneficial intent is immeasurable throughout the basic space of timeless awareness, wisdom beings issue forth to ensure total benefit for all beings.
The great benefit of wisdom qualities and activities are revealed for as long as non-recognition of awareness lasts. This is the impartial responsiveness of the basic space of wisdom, timeless awareness, dynamic and naturally arising from the essence of being so that through its display, there's abundant benefit.
Although the display of points of view along with all it entails, thoroughly resolves in the basic space of timeless awareness, embodiments of wisdom manifest for beings that do not recognize awareness.
The wisdom body, speech, mind qualities and activities of great benefit arises the beneficial responsiveness of masters of awareness. A power that is simply so, and the pure longing and aspirations of people who want to recognize awareness.
Although there are innumerable emanations of benefit in all realms, they do not stray from the basic space of awareness, the beneficial intent of timeless wisdom.
Naturally occurring, timeless awareness is not subject to restrictions and extremes. Arising naturally within the basic space of timeless wisdom, an inconceivable array of magnificent qualities and activities manifest to masters of awareness.
Moreover, great benefit manifests within the basic space of timeless wisdom as the very essence of its natural presence. It manifests as the direct response to the requests of those to be guided, as well as to the needs of all beings.
The essence of the basic space of timeless wisdom is naturally occurring timeless awareness. Its display of great benefit is the treasure trove of omniscient timeless awareness, abiding as the single reality of being primordial wisdom.
The essence of timeless awareness is the naturally present nature of being. Its display is the great benefit of the exalted wisdom, compassion, and achieving activities of the beneficial intent of timeless awareness, manifesting to fill all realms of basic space.
The essence of wisdom awareness is the ground for the arising of responsiveness. Its display manifests as the four types of miraculous benefit for those wanting to recognize timeless awareness. One, the miracle of the magnificent blessing of authentic teachings. The miracle of the master of awareness conferring introduction to the decisive experience of timeless awareness through direct and unerring instruction. And the miracle of the great benefit of exalted qualities and activities, teaching, writing and providing centers for the study and practice of authentic teachings. All these are the magnificent display of timeless wisdom.
The great benefit of timeless wisdom is not achieved by effort involving cause and effect. It is timelessly and naturally present, manifesting within resting imperturbably. There is no being lured from it at death. And so the pinnacle approach of the unchanging essence of timeless awareness is exalted as it is not based on causes and results.
The exalted fruition of the timeless wisdom of awareness is timelessly and naturally present, is uncomfounded and abides within us.
Born of timeless awareness beyond words and concepts, timeless wisdom, timelessly present is discovered through resting without trying to do so.
Uncompounded and naturally present, the wisdom, body, speech, mind, qualities and activities, they're not realized as a result of any circumstances. Yet are endowed with benefit, love and energy.
This is the timeless wisdom of awareness itself which ensures all kinds of benefit. This demonstrates that since all points of view already constitute the timely beneficial reality of timeless wisdom, realizing awareness anew happens without effort and achievement.
