In my isolated mountain retreat of limitless appearances,

Remaining in the practice where the world and beyond arise as ornaments,

I sustained the fundamental nature, free from fixating on hope and fear.

Gazing upon my own true face – innate luminosity –

I possess the instructions on self-liberation of appearances.

In my isolated mountain retreat of self-luminous detachment,

Resting in the practice of luminosity without clinging,

I sustained the fundamental nature of self-emergent simplicity.

Gazing upon my own true face – carefree openness –

I have the teachings on self-liberation of destructive emotions.
