Unborn,
Yet continuing without interruption,
Neither coming nor going, omnipresent,
Supreme Dharma,
Immutable space, beyond definition,
Spontaneously, self-liberating.
Perfect state without any obstruction,
Existent from the very beginning,
Self-created, without location,
With nothing negative to reject,
And nothing positive to accept,
Infinite expanse, all-pervading,
Immense and limitless, unbound,
With nothing even to dissolve,
Or from which to be liberated.
Present beyond Space and Time,
Existent from the beginning,
Immense dimension of inner space,
The radiance of clarity is like the sun and moon,
Self perfected,
As indestructible as the Vajra
As stable as the mountain,
As pure as the lotus,
Strong as a lion,
Incomparable bliss
Beyond all limits;
Illumination
Equanimity,
Peak of the Dharma,
Light of the Universe,
Perfect since the very beginning.
