understand that virtuous deeds lead to happiness.
therefore at all times gather your energy and generously dedicate it to all sentient beings,
praying that your happiness and virtuous deeds may nurture all beings.

all discernible appearances, both outer and inner phenomena,
are like dreams and illusions-
in the past they did not exist, in the end they will not exist,
and in between they appear through a chain of interdependent factors.

although they appear,
from the very beginning phenomena are empty of true existence;
intrinsically, they are without essence,
nor do they remain.

with consummate skill,
rest in simplicity, letting everything be
in a state free of taking things as real.

this is the fundamental nature beyond speech and intellect,
the definitive meaning, the transcendent perfection of wisdom
that can only be realized through one's own awareness.
be determined to master this understanding!

relax into unbroken pristine simplicity.

do not fail to destroy the mental fixations
of a materialistic point of view

foster freedom from clinging and all mental constructs.
