      The Song Of The Twelve Deceptions Worldly affairs are all deceptive; So I seek the Truth Divine. Excitements and distractions are illusions; So I meditate on the Non-dual Truth. Companions and servants are deceptive; So I remain in solitude. Money and possessions are also deceptive; So if I have them, I give them away. Things in the outer world are all illusion; The Inner Mind is that which I observe. Wandering thoughts are all deceptive; So I only tread the Path of Wisdom.

  The Song Of View, Practice, And Action Oh, my Guru! The Exemplar of the View, Practice, and Action, Pray vouchsafe me your grace, and enable me To be absorbed in the realm of Self-nature! For the View, Practice, Action, and Accomplishment There are three Key-points you should know: All the manifestation, the Universe itself, is contained in the mind; The nature of Mind is the realm of illumination Which can neither be conceived nor touched. These are the Key-points of the View. Errant thoughts are liberated in the Dharmakaya; The awareness, the illumination, is always blissful; Meditate in a manner of non-doing and non-effort. These are the Key-points of Practice. In the action of naturalness The Ten Virtues spontaneously grow; All the Ten Vices are thus purified. By corrections or remedies The Illuminating Void is ne'er disturbed. These are the Key-points of Action. There is no Nivana to attain beyond; There is no Samsara here to renounce; Truly to know the Self-mind It is to be...
