just detach from all sound and form
but do not dwell in detachment 
and do not dwell in intellectual interpretation -
this is practice 
dear one as for reading scriptures and studying the doctrines 
according to worldly conventions it is a good thing 
but from the perspective of one who is aware of inner truth 
it chokes people 
even those in the tenth stage cannot escape completely
they flow into the river of birth and death 
dear one you must discern the result in the cause 
and discern the cause in the result 
dear one one moon appears everywhere in all bodies of water 
the moons in all bodies of water are contained in one moon 
this is a metaphor for one mind producing myriad things and myriad things producing one mind
this refers to dream illusions 
flowers in the sky 
half-seeming 
half empty 
what if drifting clouds cover the sky 
where is the clear light in the waters ?
here 
if you open up the eye of true insight 
you will see that the moon has never not been there 
the light has never disappeared -
light and dark are as one 
death and life have no separation
