- Neither existent nor inexistent
And also not existent and inexistent;
It is not found in them
Nor is it apart from them. - It cannot be apprehended conceptually
Nor is it an object of hearing or intellect.
It is the release from the ways of language
And the recognition of the inner mind’s purity. - It is the real and sublime Dharma-sun,
Pure and immaculate;
The great radiance of wisdom
Illuminating all the worlds. - It is the destroyer of the obstacles of gloom
The awakened examination of greed, enmity, and delusion
And all of the mental defilements, et al.
Therefore, I now pay homage to it.
