Longchen Rabjam: Great Perfection

If you stray from your fundamental nature,
the functioning of conceptual mind is samsara,
pure and simple.

It involves cause and effect- you have not come
to the decisive experience.

A person who makes this mistake falls lower and lower.

Therefore, the sublime secret- great perfection-does not
stray from basic space, and the expressions of dynamic
energy resolve within the ground of being.

Enlightened intent abides as an
unwavering state of equalness.

Self: Faking enlightenment

I can quote many masters,
I can fake spontaneity,
I can pretend to possess insight,
but while there is identification
with an I,
the great perfection of the mind
will remain hidden within confusion.
