Change yourself and the world around will change

Clouds that arise and take form in the...

Clouds that arise and take form in the sky,
pass away quite automatically according to natural law.
Likewise, the flow of concepts arising in the mind,
naturally pass away when mind perceives mind.
Space has neither shape nor colour;
it is changeless, and not tinged by either white or black.

Likewise, mind-in-itself has neither form nor colour,
nor can it be stained by virtue or vice.

The burning stellar radiance of the sun
can not be covered by the eternal darkness of space.

Likewise the luminous essence of mind
can not be shrouded by Samsara’s endless duration.

Though we say that space is empty,
the actual nature of this vacuity defies description.

Though we say that mind is Clear Light,
it is actually beyond all words and concepts.
In that mind is like space, it encompasses all.

Therefore cease with bodily movement and sit relaxed;
close your mouth and simply remain in silence;
empty your mind and leap beyond the phenomenal!
