The Pure Mind...

This pure mind shines forever with the radiance
of its own perfection.

But most people are not
aware of it, and think that mind is just the faculty
that sees, hears, feels, and knows.

Blinded by
their own sight, hearing, feeling, and knowing,
they don't perceive the radiance of the source.

If they could eliminate all conceptual thinking,
this source would appear, like the sun rising.
