' Awakened Mind '...

The “pure crystal globe” as well as the term “scope” describe the “Nature of Mind” (sem nyid) where all phenomena, perceptions, sensations, thoughts and images appear and disappear within, without altering or obscuring the transparent clarity of that pure inner space of changeless awareness:

"Perfection in awakened mind” refers to the fact that all phenomena— all appearances and possibilities—regardless of’ how they manifest, whether perceived as pure or impure, are fundamentally subsumed within the scope of naturally occurring timeless awareness, arise within that scope, and abide within that scope.

The situation is similar to the way in which a person’s state of sleep, and the various dream images that manifest therein, are subsumed with in the scope of that person’s awareness, arise within that scope, and are dependent on that scope.

And so there is perfection in mind itself, awakened mind."
