+Since the very beginning, the mind streams of all sentient beings possess the
+way of being of the inseparability of being lucid and being empty in an
+intrinsic manner. No matter how it may be obscured by adventitious stains, in
+terms of its nature, it is never tainted by stains, while the stains exist in
+the manner of being separable from it. This mind that is the inseparability
+of being lucid and being empty has the nature of being permanent and being
+free from change, decrease, and increase. It is ever undeceiving, changeless,
+and genuinely stable. Throughout all three phases of ground, path, and
+fruition, it is this nature of the mind that is certain to be solely the
+object of the genuine meditative equipoise within the qualities that are the
+nature of phenomena. This is what needs to be manifested through the practice
+of superior insight.
