“Fortunate Child of Buddha Nature,
Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion!
But rise up now with resolve and courage!
Last year, this year, the waxing and waning moons,
The days, nights, and indivisible moments of time are all impermanent.
If we reflect carefully, we too are face-to-face with death.
Abandoning the stupor of delusion,
free from the mind's conjurings, I embrace the reality of nature.
In this [reality], where there is nothing at all to be done,
How can one say that, whatever one did, one did not succeed?
Given that [reality] originates without cause or condition,
How can one say that any efforts they made failed.
Be certain that thoughts and memories cannot be held in place, passing through like a gust of wind. Look at your own mind to see whether that is true.
Be certain that all your characteristics arise and dissolve like clouds that form and fade. Look at your own mind to see whether that is true.”
― The Tibetan Book of the Dead

“Om ah hung vajra guru padma siddhi hung.
I see no realm of hell, only that of the pinnacle pure realm, the basic space of phenomena.
I see no Yama Dharmaraja, only the dharmakaya Samantabhadra.
I see no hosts of wrathful minions, only the peaceful and wrathful deities of the mandalas.
I see no fair and dark children of karma, only the self-appearing dynamic energy of transcendent knowledge and skillful means.52
I see no laypeople, monks, or nuns, only the pure realm of the entire vast range of cosmic purity. I see no end results of virtuous and harmful acts, only the dynamic energy of intrinsic awareness adorning the true nature of reality.
I see no distinction between those with a connection or those without,
only that all are connected implicitly in the basic space of phenomena.
I see no higher and lower realms of being, only the pristine purity of conditioned existence and of the state of peace.
Quickly, quickly, everyone—follow me!”
