6.53
Vast, it is naturally numinous; pure, it is naturally bright. It can be all-pervading without the effort of grasping at illumination; it can be thoroughly distinct without the burden of conditioned thinking. It emerges beyond existence and nonexistence, transcending thoughts of conceivability. It is only attuned to through personal realization, not obtained from others. This is the matter continuously passed down from buddha to buddha, patriarch to patriarch, leaf to leaf, flower to flower. Responding in time without grasping at marks, illuminating in place without involving conditions, one can then be grand and unobscured. It is just this family style, ready-made everywhere, for you to take up as you will.
