If there can be so much change in outer matter, What need to speak of accomplishing knowledge with knowledge? The inner change of luminosity is beyond all measure. “If one relies on a merchant who knows the way And sets out to sea in an excellent ship, One will find whatever riches are desired And sail smoothly back to one’s home. “If one relies on love, compassion, joy, and equanimity And practices virtue endowed with the mind of awakening, One will set out on a truly perfect path And be sure to reach the land of wisdom. “When an arrow is released from a person’s fingers, It has certainly been shot, even if one thinks otherwise. When a person fully comprehends the meaning of reality, The other shore has been reached, even if one thinks otherwise. “Once the aspects of conduct are naturally perfected, The fruit of buddhahood will undoubtedly be attained. When the pristine nature of reality is realized, There is no self, no life force, and also no termination of life force. There is no action and no ripening of action. The extremes are abandoned, and one is liberated. “In order for you to realize that goal, Devotedly recite this quintessence as I proclaim it. If you do, the evil deeds of three incalculable eons will be eradicated, The three lower realms and all the suffering of saṃsāra will be purified, And the obscurations will be cleared away.
