    The document presents four Buddhist statements about the nature of reality and the mind: that appearances are empty, emptiness is spontaneously present, spontaneous presence is self-liberation, and the mind is emptiness. It notes that while these statements may seem grandiose, experiencing the practices will allow one to understand their truth personally. A quote from Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche recommends resting in clarity and emptiness through non-conceptual awareness.

    four statements :

    Appearances are mind


    Mind is emptiness
    Emptiness is spontaneous presence
    Spontaneous presence is self-liberation,
    may sound somewhat grandiose and unverifiable. But if you actually go through these practices
    you will be able to experience the truth of these assertions on your own.
    ~
    Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.
    Quoted in the book : The Ocean Of Definitive Meaning.

    ... REST ...


    Rest without struggle in actual, real being.
    Rest relaxed, in a free from wandering space.
    Rest in clarity cradled in emptiness space.
    Rest in awareness that is blissful space.
    Rest relaxed in non-conceptual space.
    Rest Relaxed Beyond Thought
    Rest without struggle in actual, real being.
    Rest relaxed in a free from wandering space.
    Rest in clarity which is also empty.
    Rest in awareness; this is to rest in bliss.
    Rest without struggle in actual, real being.
    Rest relaxed in a free-from-wandering way.
    In the depths of emptiness, rest in clarity.
    Rest in blissful awareness.
    Rest relaxed beyond thought.
    ~ Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
