Are only reflections
In the clear wisdom of the mind -
Empty, they don't exist at all!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
Emptiness, with the artistry of awareness,
Creates magical shows that are unborn, yet appear.
Don't accept or reject what is perfect as it is -
I can't find a reason to tamper with that!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
Magical displays arise in the sky
Through the dynamism of the sky itself,
Arising spontaneously as transformations of sky -
Don't find any faults in that!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
All things are baseless, like a dream.
Appearing to arise contingently, like a reflected image,
Spontaneously arising an disappearing, like bubbles,
Vast and root-free like the sky!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
You may say "existence," but you can't grasp it!
You may say "nonexistence,"but many things appear!
It is beyond the sky of "existence" and "nonexistence" -
I know it but cannot point to it!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
Great fresh awareness is the supreme path.
No need to walk - it's the ground of suchness;
No need to practice - it's effortlessly accomplished.
Aha! Those who practice yoga are fortunate indeed!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
Recognize the magical show of appearances
As reflections of your own thoughts.
Know your own mind as empty by nature -
No need to seek elsewhere for the bliss of reality.
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
When someone experiences reality,
The whole sky cannot contain her bliss.
Can you express that? Then speak!
I have seen what is utterly invisible!
Kye Ho! Wonderful!
This spontaneous stream of great ecstatic wisdom -
Without realization, one cannot describe it;
After realization, why speak?
Taste it and you're struck dumb, speechless!
