"When one realizes the nature of mind, one is no longer affected in any way by the clouds of desire and hatred.
Awareness is above these clouds. As the dharmakaya is like space, it is unchanging. Space does not come or go; space always is as it is.
Realizing this, there is no fear of death; space does not die nor is it born.
The phenomena of samsara and nirvana are like clouds; they arise momentarily, but are as they are, compounds. They are impermanent, subject to disintegration, coming and going. Moving above these clouds, one will not grasp at their substantial reality and thus will not cling to thoughts of desire or hatred.
To see this nature even for just an instant is mahamudra. You will never gain anything new. Awareness is like fire - in the beginning, it is like a spark, in the end, a blazing fire. You are not creating a great mind that you do not yet possess.
To see it for just a brief instant is still seeing it, but of course, it must be habituated. Only when we preserve this nature continuously will we achieve the state of great happiness and peace where there is no more suffering."
