“If you can abolish desires,
Internally gazing into the heart-mind,
You see that in actuality there is no heart-mind.

Externally gazing into form,
You see that in actuality there is no form.

Remotely gazing into things,
You see that in actuality there are no things.

When you awaken to these three,
Only then do you gain a glimpse into emptiness.

Using emptiness to observe emptiness,
You see that emptiness is not empty.

When even emptiness does not exist,
You see that no-thingness is indeed no-thing.

Without even the nonexistence of no-thingness,
There is only clear and constant silence.”
