The Natural Freedom of the Nature of Mind
The Natural Freedom of the Nature of Mind (Tib. Semnyi Rangdrol; Wyl. sems nyid rang grol) - part of Longchenpa's Trilogy of Natural Freedom. It contains the oft-quoted lines:
- Since everything is but an illusion,
- Perfect in being what it is,
- Having nothing to do with good or bad,
- Acceptance or rejection,
- One might as well burst out laughing!
- thams cad mnyam rdzogs sgyu ma'i rang bzhin la//
- bzang ngan blang dor med pas dgod re bro//
