Contemplating the true mark of the body, one contemplates the Buddha likewise. If you can truly experience your own boundless realm, then it precisely severs dualities and transcends conceptual thought. Buddhas and Buddhas, mind and mind, are profoundly identical without duality. A patch-robed monk silently wanders and quietly abides, emptily numinous and wondrously penetrating, equal to empty space and traversing kalpas of dust, towering and without reliance, distinctly beyond thought. This is the place originally abided in. Shifting the mechanism and manifesting transformed branches, one passes through the world and responds to affairs, illuminating without effort and functioning without trace. Like idle clouds and flowing water, from the beginning there is no lingering obstruction. Directly make it pure, stable, and settled, unmovable by anything; only then will you not turn along with conditioned causes. Realize it truly!
