Madhyamaka, “Interdependent arising.”

    I prostrate before the Three Jewels!
    I will explain the essence of interdependent arising. All particles of manifestation are recognized as empty in essence. Because arising in interdependent arising, they are like the illusory horse and elephant. Therefore the absolute [level] is non-birth. This absence of birth is disposed in the mind. Meditate with the non-conceptual mind on the absence of the intrinsic nature of manifestations. [Thus] attain discarding and original wisdom. The six aspects [that are] inappropriate aspects are laziness, forgetfulness in contemplation, drowsiness, agitation, lack of effort, and [excessive] effort. Realize in meditation again and again the eight antidotes that discard these.
    Subsequently realize abiding [in the state] that corresponds to the practice of the paramitas. Having discarded all excitement, abide in the monastery. Having discarded all pride, possess small intentions. Adhere as the essence of what is necessary for oneself in regard to things that are not important to others.
    Thus concludes the Madhyamaka “Interdependent Arising” compiled by Acharya Nagpopa.
    It was translated by Lama Karma Paljor (O.E. Filippov).
