How liberation is to be gained ~ Mipham Rinpoche
"If one trains for a long time in the Union of the Two Truths, the stage of acceptance (on the path of joining), which is attuned to primordial wisdom, will arise. By thus acquiring a certain conviction in that which surpasses intellectual knowledge, and by training in it, one will eventually actualize it. This is precisely how the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas have said that liberation is to be gained."

=====================================
Relaxing Into Original Nature
Operating alongside the scramble of confused thought mind, is our original primordial condition. Everyone, no matter who or we ‘think’ we are, no matter what persona we have created for ourself, has this original nature. Almost all traditional paths however talk of this nature being buried or obscured beneath veils of ignorance, delusion or karma. However, original nature cannot be hidden, it is always here. Nothing obscures it, for it was never created in the first place. It is that at present you do not yet recognise it.
.
Since you are always this pristine nature, there is nothing to stop you recognising it. Every sight you see, every sound you hear is your real nature, it is only a millisecond later, after the first perception, that discriminating mind begins to label and judge.
.
Everything that you can know is this nature
It manifests as the wisdom of uncreated rigpa awareness.
.
There arises a subtle change in perceptive, from that which seeks and so inhibits this original nature, to releasing and going back into the ‘knowing’ of this nature.
.
Recognition comes about by relaxing into pure awareness itself, without a ‘me’ who is looking, the whole notion of looking at anything is let go of. With no thoughts, expectations, or analysis, nothing at all. It is really so very simple. Any idea you may have of what it is, let it go.
.
Then the intrinsic peaceful clarity of our natural state will arise.
Rest there without consciously noticing that you are resting there.
It is pure, open and empty, clear awareness.

Merely discovered ~ Chögyam Trungpa
Anything that is created must sooner or later die.
Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it;
we have merely discovered it.

It is the basic normal non-dual functioning of our mind, enlightened or not, it is the Primordial-wisdom with its inseparable Five-wisdom. It is always there and functioning. It is like the dependent origination & relative functionality of all dharmas: always there & functioning, even if everything is empty of inherent existence. = Union of the Two Truths about all mind(s), and all phenomena, and all relations / action.

.
𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿, 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 has no opinions about the object. The mirror doesn't prefer red over blue, or choose good over bad, it doesn't discriminate, and it doesn't block, reject, or alter them in any way. It is just open receptivity, without adding any commentary.
.
The reflections on the mirror don’t stick to the mirror, and the mirror doesn't have any lag time – when something is put in front of it and then taken away, the image doesn't stay there for a minute and then slowly leaves. The mirror just immediately and spontaneously responds effortlessly, reflecting the next image without hesitation. It doesn't try to manipulate the situation, thinking, “I want to stay a little while longer with that piece of pie"
.
When we look at a clear mirror directly, all we see are the reflections on its surface, which appear quite real. If there is a spot of dust on its surface, then we can’t see a bit of the surface where the reflection lies, but a clear mirror can’t itself be seen. If our eyes try to behold it, all they see is the image on its surface, just a reflection, an illusory appearance.
.
All these qualities of the mirror are also qualities of the nature of mind, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗽𝗮. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 doesn't just reflect visual objects – when sounds come, it reflects those sounds. Smells, tastes, physical sensations, thoughts, emotions, and all kinds of mental activity are also reflected clearly on the surface of the mirror, without sticking to the mirror.
.
Thoughts and emotions, too, are also just reflected in 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, much more than sensory objects, yet these mental arisings pull our attention away from noticing the mirror-like clarity of mind. We become so caught up in these reflections (thoughts), the experience happening on the surface, that we forget 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. But when we return to the clarity of emptiness, mirror awareness is always present, simply reflecting what’s happening.
.
𝘼 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨, 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜. During this clarity, we can open to this receptive 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. If we try to seek out and grasp the mirror, we won’t be able to; we will only get to see our ideas of it, reflected in it, If we try to be the mirror and also try to figure out what the mirror is, then such analysis no more than simply reflections on the mirror.
.
It seems quite challenging to just reflect like a mirror, since we are so accustomed to discriminating, preferring, assessing, and getting caught up in the objects placed before us. Though it is challenging, it is also very simple, almost too simple for most of us to accept. (𝘪.𝘦. 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳-𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 / 𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺-𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥)
.
Even if we become frustrated that our awareness is not 'mirror-like', 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁. The frustration is just another of its reflections.
.
This knowing of 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 shows the pointlessness of trying to achieve enlightenment, as empty mirror awareness IS enlightenment. (𝘪.𝘦. 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳-𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘉𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘩𝘢-𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦)
.
One of the most marvellous qualities of 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, that a glass mirror doesn’t possess, is compassion. As soon as we return to mirror-like clarity, compassion will arise naturally with no effort required other than attuning to 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗽𝗮 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, letting it shine out, like a mirror needs no prompting to reflect.

𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗶 ~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

While resting free of anything to imagine, like space, do not be distracted for even one instant. The one who trains like that can truly be called a ‘space yogi’. A yogi is an individual who connects with that which is naturally so. Space means that which always is (i.e. the Ground / Suchness / U2T).

.
Simply allow the space to not wander. Remain undistracted. There is no impetus for any thoughts to reoccur. A thought is a mental way of formulating something — in other words, our attention formulates a thought. The thought doesn’t come from anywhere else. If we don’t think, where would a thought come from?
.
In the basic space [Ground / Suchness / U2T] that is unimaginable, remain undistractedly. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 [𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗰-]𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 [𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 / 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 / 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 / 𝘜2𝘛].

So develop a scope of mind that is LIKE THE SKY,
which has no limit to the east, west, north, or south.

Operating alongside the scramble of [ordinary] confused thought mind, is our 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 [non-dual co-emergent Primordial-empty-awareness].
.
Everyone, no matter who or we ‘think’ we are, no matter what persona we have created for ourselves, has this 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.
.
(𝘪.𝘦. 𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥(𝘴) 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘵. 𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥.)
.
Almost all traditional paths however talk of this nature being buried or obscured beneath veils of ignorance, delusion or karma. However, 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 cannot be hidden, 𝗜𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 (𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚). Nothing obscures it, for it was never created in the first place. It is that at present you do not yet recognise it.
.
(𝘪.𝘦. 𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 & 𝘥𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 & 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 & 𝘯𝘰𝘸; 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘸𝘰 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘴 [𝘜2𝘛] 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘴; 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 / 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘴 / 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 / 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 / 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘭-𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘺-𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 ...)
.
Since you are always this 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, there is nothing to stop you recognising it. Every sight you see, every sound you hear is your real nature, it is only a millisecond later, after the first perception, that discriminating mind begins to label and judge.
.
Everything that you can know is this nature [Union of the Two Truths / U2T].
𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗽𝗮 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.
.
There arises a subtle change in perspective, from that which seeks and so inhibits this original nature, to releasing and going back into the ‘knowing’ of this nature.
.
Recognition comes about by relaxing into pure awareness itself, without a ‘me’ who is looking, the whole notion of looking at anything is let go of. With no thoughts, expectations, or analysis, nothing at all. It is really so very simple. Any idea you may have of what it is, let it go.
.
Then the intrinsic peaceful clarity of our natural state will arise.
Rest there without consciously noticing that you are resting there.
𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

The important point is that it is not something different / separate from our ordinary dualistic conceptual mind. It is not something that existed prior to our ordinary mind, or something that is the result of a process of purification of our ordinary mind. It is the true nature of our ordinary mind as it is here & now, and also the true nature of the Buddha's enlightened-mind. It is like an inconceivable Union of the Two Truths [U2T]: Union of conventionally dependently co-arisen relatively functional appearances [T1] <==> and emptiness of inherent existence [T2]. One aspect implies the other (<==>) [U2T].
.
Also: It is felt as a pure naked/unconditioned non-dual empty-awareness, as a merging of subject / mind & object / phenomena, as being interconnected with the whole universe, as a spontaneous incommensurable love & compassion for the whole universe.
