A Commentary on Great Perfection: The Nature of Mind, Easer of Weariness In Sanskrit the title is ‘Mahāsandhi-cittā-visranta-vṛtti-mahāratha-nāma’. In Tibetan ‘rDzogs pa chen po sems nyid ngal gso’i shing rta chen po shes bya ba ’...

Now there is the dedication of merit:

Thus, because of the equal nature of all dharmas,
Having passed the pass of fixations of intellect;
With limitless awareness bound in servitude,
May our exhausted minds today ease their weariness.

By the merit of presenting this garland of the wondrously-arisen Dharma of instantaneous liberation into the essential meaning, may whatever beings there may be, enter into being the space of the great freedom from partiality. Fenced in with their personal doctrines, view and meditation, they do not encounter the nature without bondage and liberation. They are bound in assertion, denial, and so forth, wearied by attachment to true existence. May these come to rest in spontaneous adherence to the conceptionless nature of the great perfection. This is the vast space of the doer of all, bodhicitta.

Heaped up clouds in the spacious sky of the unborn essence
Resound with the thunder of emptiness in effortless suchness.
With the motionless nature of mind, the level of buddhahood,
See perfect equality, the inexpressible essence.

May the minds of sentient beings, the state of confusion,
Which have entered into the snares of grasping and fixation,
Cross without exception to the nature of purity,
Called “the great vastness,” equal space that is free from existence,
The field of Samantabhadra, where all is eternal perfection.

Sailing in stormy seas of conception-related prana,
May all who, far from profundity, fixate reflected forms,
In the cooling lake of non-thought, which is self-arising wisdom,
Come to rest in spontaneous motionless clarity.
