At the feet of Marpa the Translator, I bow down
In answer to these great teachers I sing this song
Don't try to refute anything here and don't try to prove it
But listen to the meaning, the reality

Where there's nothing that's seen, this is seeing by far supreme
This is the innate mind, the luminous light

Where there's nothing to search for, this the discovery supreme
This is the innate mind, the treasure trove

Where there's nothing to be eaten, oh satiation supreme
The food of samadhi, the food which liberates

Where there's nothing to be drunk, oh satisfaction supreme
This is the drink of bodhichitta amrita
This is original wisdom simply aware of itself
This is the realm of the inexpressible

This is not within reach of the shravakas or naive ones
Nor is it the sphere of experience of a logician

If you realize the reality past all bestowing
And past all receiving, empowerment supreme

If you realize the reality past high and low
This is what's called the bhumi most supreme

If you realize the reality which is unreachable
By means of progression, that is the path supreme

If you realize the reality, unborn, undying
This is what's known as fulfilling the highest need

If you realize the reality past all measurement
This is what's called the valid cognition supreme

If you realize the reality past all greater and less
This is what's known as the yana most supreme

If you realize the reality neither good nor bad
This is known as supreme among all methods

If you realize the reality past duality
This is what's known as supreme among all views

If you realize the reality free of reference point
This is what's known as the best of meditations

If you realize the reality free of adopting
And free of rejecting, that's conduct most supreme

If you realize the reality free of effort and strain
This is what's known as fruition most supreme
