Oral Instructions on the co-born Glorious One [Heruka]

     I prostrate before the glorious Heruka!
     Since the cause is formed by means of one's own nature and perfect purity, the eight aspects are worldly and ordinary. The essence of the five is that which is discarded and also the essence of the five is also the path. That which forms purity appears as the essence, the body of the mind's own nature. In the self arises the comprehension of the unthinkable. Freedom from the four [extremes], does not appear as comprehension in the three [worlds]. That which forms purity appears as the essence of the purity of one's own nature. To discard the two [extremes], perform [deeds] on the path. When there is no attachment to the five [skandhas], one is like a mad elephant. This practice-when the kusha grass is swayed by the wind-is very important. This restoration, which is like the reappearance of this meat, is important for everyone.
     This is what is said in the mountain hermitage.
     When one acts with and without understanding, it is like crazy acts. But if [having] gained comprehension, one does not act [in the appropriate way, then] it is the behavior of the dumb. If one relies on the essence of such non-conceptualization, one will be liberated, of that there is no doubt.
     May by virtue of discarding the three you behold yourself!
     Such are the precepts.
     Thus concludes the oral precepts on the co-born glorious one called the Blessing.
     Thus concludes the speech translated by Jeminyag Lotsava of the great one from the mountain hermitage.
