When you have achieved a state of calmness and readiness,
then you are ready to know, ready to understand in a deep way

Once you catch a glimpse of that dance [U2T],
𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩 [U2T-2T].
Just let it go,
like your first glimpse of essence love.

COMMENTS:

[i.e. Realize the Union of the Two Truths [U2T]
without grasping / apprehending / differentiating / opposing them, or their 'union', in absolute terms, just conventionally / relatively / inter-subjectively:
.
[U2T:] That is the inseparability / interdependence / non-duality / harmony / Union of conventionally dependently co-arisen relative functional appearances / tools [T1] <==> and emptiness of inherent existence [T2] about all dharmas.
.
These two aspects / truths -- dependent origination and emptiness --
are not different / separate / two / dual,
not identical / united / one / non-dual,
not both together, not neither.
They are themselves empty of inherent existence <==> because of being interdependent, merely labeled / imputed by the mind [U2T-2T]. And vice versa.
.
They, and their 'union', are mere useful tools / adapted skillful means / counterpoints / pointers to the 'inconceivable'. They are useful tools, but turn into poisons if we grasp at them as 'absolute truth'.]

Living an Appearance-Emptiness Life
.
You know the supreme path that is free from coming and going,
And you teach 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙖 [𝙐2𝙏],
While never leaving a single being out of your compassion’s embrace,
Great mother, noble Tara, I bow at your feet.

Since all phenomena, outer and inner,

They have n̲o̲ ̲i̲n̲h̲e̲r̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲n̲a̲t̲u̲r̲e̲ ̲[̲T̲2̲]̲,
they are just 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚-𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 [𝙐2𝙏].

If you know how they 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨,
All comings and goings will be open and relaxed.
.
Since appearances of friends [+] and enemies [-] are d̲e̲p̲e̲n̲d̲e̲n̲t̲l̲y̲ ̲e̲x̲i̲s̲t̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲[̲T̲1̲]̲,
Both are 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚-𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 [𝙐2𝙏], 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙬𝙨,
[𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 / 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 / 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 / 𝘜𝘰𝘱𝘱 / 𝘜2𝘛-𝘰𝘱𝘱]
.
and if you know this,
That is called, "meditation on illusion."
Within openness you will achieve inner peace.
.
A planet and a particle are equal [𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 / 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 / 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 / 𝘜𝘰𝘱𝘱]
An aeon and an instant are equal [𝘜𝘰𝘱𝘱 / 𝘜2𝘛-𝘰𝘱𝘱], the Buddha taught.
If you gain uncontrived certainty in this,
Within spaciousness, any work you do will come out alright.
.
When you are expert at studying your own mind [subject]
All that appears [objects] becomes your guru,
[𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 / 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 / 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴 -- 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘰𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 -- 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 / 𝘜3𝘚 / 𝘜2𝘛-3𝘚]
And even your enemies become friends of your Dharma practice -
E ma! What a wonderful miracle!
