' Striving of the Samsaric Mind '...

The experience of the non-dual awareness of rigpa is quite wonderful.

It is freedom from the restless striving of the samsaric mind.

It is not a dull peace, but the opposite.

It is pure wakefulness.

It is light, open, radiant, and blissful.

When we are no longer preoccupied with self-centered pursuits based on the insecurities of the illusory self and its desires and aversions, the world arises in the purity of the natural state in a vivid, pristine display of beauty.

For the practitioner stable in rigpa, all experiences arise as an ornamentation of the nature of mind, rather than as a problem or delusion.
