92. Paramita of Wisdom III —Abiding in the State of Madhyamaka Free from All Extremes

Meditation Guide

The Beginning

Take refuge and arouse bodhicitta.

The Main Part

Your body does not move, you don’t talk, and your mind is free of concept. Outwardly, discursive thought is pacified. Inwardly, clear wakefulness, empty yet lucid, dawns. Abide unwaveringly in the suchness of inconceivable wisdom, in the unfabricated view of the middle way.

Reminder

The essential nature of the mind is both appearances and emptiness, which transcends everything relative, and is beyond the description of words or concepts. Practitioners of higher caliber, by resting in equanimity and by praying to the guru, may get a glimpse of it when looking back into the mind itself. Once such a realization is attained, one understands that Buddhas and ordinary beings are not different essentially.

The Ending

Dedicate merit in a state where everything is a dreamlike illusion.
