Death.

Dying being my only fear,
I trained my mind in the innate state beyond death
And recognized the essential meaning,
The basic nature of self-liberated samsara.

Unsupported and naked inner awareness,
Discursiveness cleared, the confidence of the view----
I have resolved this to be luminous emptiness.
Now birth and death no longer intimidate me.

Conceptual Mind

All your thinking is conceptual mind,
So give up the doings of this mind and rest.
And as "rest" is also just a word,
Give up holding on to words and let be.

***Songtsen Gampo, The First Dharma King of Tibet
