Open awareness in essence is primordial knowing.
Mind in essence is based on karma and latent tendencies.

Every state of affairs will inexorably come to an end. In fact, we can only maintain it lasts more than a moment if we're willing to ignore the change it's undergoing right now, the jitter of its becoming and unbecoming in time. No thing, no thought, no certainty outlasts the moment that's just past

Mind is not to be found within. Nor does it exist outside. And it can not be observed anywhere else.

Renunciation mind doesn't hate the world. It just doesn't get upset with it. As Shunryu Suzuki Roshi said: "(...) even if the sun were to rise from the west, the Bodhisattva has only one way."

The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to arouse bodhicitta,
So as to bring freedom to all sentient beings, infinite in number.
For how can true happiness ever be found, while our mothers,
Who have cared for us throughout the ages, endure such pain.

Kye ma, the dharmas of samsara are futile.
Impermanent, impermanent, they are futile.
Changing and changing, they are futile.
Uncertain, uncertain, they are futile.

Your practice, the fusion of your life with the Dharma,
Is the single vital point so as to have no thoughts remaining at death.
Your constant reduction of concern with plans
Is the single vital point that prevents obstacles and laziness from overpowering you.

A river flows by:
a duck swims past—must be me!
a fish bobs up—must be me!
a cloud is reflected—must be me!
is it any less weird
to do exactly that
when a body comes along?
when feelings pass by?
when ideas come up?
when perceptions arise?
when experiences happen?

By taking refuge in the lama,
whatever we desire
becomes the path to liberation.
With intense longing, faith, & devotion,
and relying on solitude,
I am just doing what my lama told me to do.
I have tamed my own mind,
which was as hard as horn,
and now I am just sitting around.

As for affirmations or negations and fixations that arise in your mind,
by training to recognize these as illusions,
obstructions will transform into their intrinsic freedom!

Appearances are deceptive, I shall mistrust them.
Nothingness is just a point of view, I shall not get entangled in it.
Living beings are, by nature, stainless, I shall treasure that stainlessness.
Reality is the bait, I shall not be lured into conformity.
