The Seven Nails of Acarya Sri Simha (the Lion of Dzogchen)
Homage to absolute Gnosis (self-arisen empty-cognizant ground),
[the unity / Union of] uncreate Clear Light (1st truth) and Emptiness (2nd truth) (Union of the Two Truths free of all extremes & middle).
This Gnosis of self-existent Awareness (svayambhu-vidya-jnana), which encompasses all and abides in all, is open and impartial.
Therefore, nail the original immutable Ground (prakriti) by using the seven nails of the Path of the Non-duality of Samsara and Nirvana. Thus shall primordial Great Bliss (mahasukha) arise in the mind.
1. Affix the juncture [Union] of Samsara and Nirvana [Uopp] with the nail of unimpeded effulgent Gnosis.
2. Affix the juncture [Union] of Observer (subject) and Observed (object) [U3S] with the nail of the self-radiant Clear Light.
3. Affix the juncture [Union] of Self and Other [Uopp] with the nail of innate pure Ipseity (vastu).
4. Affix the juncture [Union] of Nihilism (non-existence) and Eternalism (existence) [Uopp] with the nail of liberation from all Views (dristi).
5. Affix the juncture [Union] of Phenomena (dharma) (1st truth - Relative truth) and Ultimate Reality (dharmata) (2nd truth - Absolute truth) [U2T] with the nail of absolute Awareness (vidya).
6. Affix the juncture [Union] of meditative Passivity (laya) (stillness / no-thought) and Excitation (auddhatya) (movement / thought) [Uopp] with the nail of abandonment-of-sense-stimuli.
7. Affix the juncture [Union] of Appearance (abhasa) (1st truth) and Emptiness (sunyata) (2nd truth) [U2T] with the nail of primordial Dharma-embodiment [of the Absolute].
Colophon: This is the last testament of Sri Simha.
Another version: Zerbu Dunpa: Seven Nails
I proclaim the perfection of primordial Knowing as the indivisibility of radiance and Openness.
Awareness pervades all, is always open without sides.
Penetrating through the ground of immovability with these seven great nails through the narrow paths of the circuit of conditioned experience and freedom from it, the joy that is always so arises within my mind.
1. Nail together conditions and the unconditioned with the unobstructed clarity of Knowing.
2. Nail together intelligence and objects with inherent radiance.
3. Nail together mind and matter with the spontaneous stainless essence.
4. Nail together nihilism and eternalism with freedom from fixated views.
5. Nail together forms and the nature of forms with the transcendence of Awareness beyond forms.
6. Nail together excitation and torpor, liberating the totality of the senses.
7. Nail together appearances and Openness with the primordial perfection of the Body of Reality.
Translated by Ven. Anzan Hoshin Roshi, White Wind Zen Community.
(i.e.: Seven types of Union to realise to get the true nature of the Ground; which can be grouped in three fundamental types of ‘Union’:
[U2T] Union of the Two Truths: Union conventionally dependently co-arisen relatively functional impermanent appearances (1st truth - not complete non-existence) <==> and emptiness of inherent existence (2nd truth / not real existence) of all dharmas. One aspect / truth implies / proves the other (<==>). These two truths are inseparable, interdependent, co-defined, co-relative, co-dependent, co-emergent, co-evolving, co-ceasing / co-transcended, in harmony, equal / non-dual / one -- in the non-dual sense of those terms; ex. the two truths are not different / separate / two / dual, not identical / unite / one / non-dual, not both together, not neither. Meaning: Their ‘Union’ is inconceivable, beyond all conceptual proliferations, beyond all extremes & middle. Those two truths are themselves empty of inherent existence <==> because co-dependent, and vice versa. Ex. Union relative <==> absolute; Union appearance <==> emptiness; Union functionality / clarity / luminosity / cognizance <==> and emptiness.
[U3S] Union of the three spheres -- subject, relation / action, object --; or Union of the Two Truths about the three spheres. Ex. Union subject / actor / perceiver / knower / acquirer <==> relation / action / perception / cognition / acquisition <==> object / result / perceived / known / acquired; Union cause / producer <==> causality / production <==> effect / product; Union characteristic <==> characterising <==> characterised; Union owner <==> ownership <==> possession.
[Uopp] Union of opposites; or Union of the Two Truths about the opposites of any duality, triad, quad, etc. Ex. Good vs. bad, pure vs. impure, self vs. other, samsara vs. nirvana, existence vs. non-existence, stillness vs. movement, etc.)

(i.e. Logic: This résumé of all Madhyamaka reasonings may be useful to analyse this text:
-
Union of the Two Truths about any & all dharmas [U2T]:
-
{All dharmas are not really different / separate / multiple / dual / in opposition or relation, but are more like an inconceivable Union of being empty of inherent existence (2nd truth - not real existence) <==> because of being inseparable (one cannot exists without the other), interdependent (one implies the other), co-defined (the definition of one defines the other), co-relative, co-dependent, co-emergent (they arise together), co-evolving, co-ceasing / co-transcended (they cease together), in harmony (not in real opposition), equal / non-dual / one (1st truth - not complete non-existence);
they are like illusions / dreams / reflections / rainbows / like the displays of a magical show or cosmic dance of luminosity; in other words, they are appearing but still empty, empty but still appearing; one aspect / truth implies the other (<==>), one aspect / truth proves the other (<==>). This is the King of reasoning; the Union of the Two Truths. [U2T]}
-
<==> {because of that then they have no real three stages of existence: i. origination / beginning / birth / before / past, ii. duration / middle / life / change / during / present, iii. cessation / ending / death / after / future; they have no real parts, or defining characteristics, or three marks, or functional properties, or qualities;
and so they have no permanence / continuity / eternity, no impermanence / discontinuity / annihilation, or any combination of the two, or neither, between one infinitesimal moment and the next one (valid for any thing, any being, any relation / action), or between two consecutive rebirths for beings, or between samsara and nirvana}
-
<==> {because of these then they are merely labelled / imputed / conceptualised / categorised / classified by the mind / subject (after the fact) in co-dependence with its conditioning / karma (physical, conceptual, mental; individual, collective, cosmic); in other words, as objects they are inseparable, interdependent, co-dependent, co-emergent, co-evolving, co-ceasing, non-dual with the subject / mind -- in the non-dual sense of those terms; ex. subject & object are not different / separate / two / dual / independent, not identical / united / one / non-dual / dependent, not both together, not neither [U3S]}
-
<==> {because of these then there is no real difference, separation, opposition, relation, dependence, duality between them…, and no real identity / sameness, unity, equality, non-duality, oneness, independence either; there is no inherent / universal / absolute basis for any discrimination between them (acceptation or rejection) or non-discrimination, action or non-action; ex. it is not about accepting one or few opposite(s) while rejecting the other(s), not about accepting all opposites, not about rejecting all opposites [Uopp]}
-
<==> {because of these then they are not 'this', not 'non-this', not both together, not neither (tetralemma) -- and there is no other possibility -- for whatever dualistic concept ‘this’ is --; meaning their true nature is indescribable, inconceivable, beyond all conceptual proliferations, beyond all extremes & middle; examples, they are
- not different / separate / multiple / dual, not identical / united / one / non-dual, not both together, not neither;
- not inherently existent, not completely non-existent, not both together, not neither;
- not permanent / continuous / eternal, not impermanent / discontinuous / annihilated, not both together, not neither;
- not purely objective / physical / body, not purely subjective / mental / mind, not purely relational / process / conceptual / speech, not two or three of them together, not none of them;
- not dependent / caused / produced / functional, not independent / uncaused/spontaneous / unproduced / non-functional, not both together, not neither;
- not other-caused / other-arisen, not self-caused / self-arisen / spontaneous, not both together, not neither;
- not empty, not non-empty, not both together, not neither;
- not dependently co-arisen / interdependent (1st truth), not empty of inherent existence (2nd truth), not both truths together, not neither truth;
- not good / pure / perfect / equal / divine, not bad / impure / imperfect / unequal / ordinary, not both together, not neither;
- not conventional / relative / false, not absolute / universal / true, not both together, not neither;
- not this/that, not non-this/non-that, not both together, not neither.}
-
<==> {because of these then we say that they are like transparent, uncompounded, self-arisen, unborn, uncreated, unfabricated, unchanging, unceasing, spontaneous displays of the Ground, unobstructed, infinite, timeless, one in naturelessness, primordially equal, pure, perfect, divine, Buddha-nature, Buddhaverse, Dharmata, Suchness, Trikaya … That is the inconceivable indivisible self-arisen Ground / Dharmata. With direct wisdom, everything is transcended / purified / self-liberated into this self-arisen timeless equal pure perfect Ground / the inconceivable true nature of Reality as it is in the three times.}
-
<==> {because of these then the best attitude toward them is the Middle Way free from all extremes & middle;
Extremes like: i) existence / realism, ii) non-existence / nihilism, iii) both together / dualism, iv) neither / monism; or extremes like v) subject-only / mind-only / idealism / subjectivism, vi) object-only / naïve realism / objectivism, vii) relation-only / process-only / action-only / relationism / processism, viii) two or three of them together / pluralism, ix) none to them / monism;
so there is nothing to accept / affirm / seek / do / perceive / know in absolute terms, nothing to reject / negate / abandon / not-do / not-perceive / not-know in absolute terms, just conventionally / relatively / inter-subjectively if it helps someone to get closer to the truth about the true nature of Reality as it is here & now;
so the best attitude is just to let them be, and transcend / purify / self-liberate them by directly perceiving / realising / abiding in their true nature (the Ground); to use them as possible temporary imperfect adapted skillful means while being fully aware of their true essence nature & dynamic, without any fixation / reification, without any illusion about them, without being fooled by them, without any grasping, without any attachment, without any di-vision between subject action & object, without becoming slave to them, while being totally free from them not without them}
-
All dharmas are like that. Everything in all Madhyamaka teachings comes down to these reasonings. Together they are like a self-arisen indestructible vajra; one facet supported by the others. Together they point to the Ground, and generate 'certainty' about the view, path and fruition.)
