Part 2 - Passing the pass into the unity of the sky at the very moment of realization

In insight that is fundamentally without change,
How will conditioned phenomena ever arise as different?
Their very arising is liberation from the start.
Dharmakaya is one, like water and its waves.

Within the changelessness of our own minds, whatever instantaneous phenomena of joy and sorrow, happiness and suffering and so forth may arise are ungraspable. They liberate themselves with no need of other antidotes. As for instantaneous self-liberation without before or after, the All-Creating King says:

Liberation is self-liberation. There is no other kind.

Also the Song of the Oral Instructions of the Inexhaustible Treasury (mi zad pa’i gter mdzod man ngag gi glu) says:

That liberated instant is known as dharmakaya.
“There is another liberation of great bliss.”
Though this is said by fools, it is water in a mirage.

Also:

As much as there is emanation from mind,
Just that much the nature of the lord Buddha,
Is otherness like water and its waves.
