Quotations

བདེན་གཉིས་རྣམ་དབྱེ་ཤེས་པ་དག །

ཐུབ་པའི་བཀའ་ལ་མི་རྨོངས་ཏེ། །
དེ་དག་མ་ལུས་ཚོགས་བསགས་ནས། །

ཕུན་ཚོགས་ཕ་རོལ་འགྲོ་བ་ཉིད། །

Those who can distinguish between the two truths,
Will not be confused about the Buddha’s Words.
Gathering all the accumulations of merit and wisdom,
They will win perfection and reach the other shore.

Jñanagarbha, Distinguishing the Two Truths, verse 2
སྐྱེ་བ་ལ་སོགས་བཀག་པ་ཡང༌། །

ཡང་དག་པ་དང་མཐུན་ཉིད་བཞེད། །
སྐྱེ་མེད་སྤྲོས་ཀུན་ཞི་བ་ལ། །

དོན་དམ་ཞེས་པའི་བརྡ་མཛད་དོ། །

Refutations of origination and so forth,
Are in accordance with reality.
Pacifying all notions of non-origination
Is what we call the ultimate.

Jñānagarbha, Distinguishing the Two Truths, verse 9
སྣང་དུ་འདྲ་ཡང་དོན་བྱེད་དག །

ནུས་པའི་ཕྱིར་དང་མི་ནུས་ཕྱིར། །
ཡང་དག་ཡང་དག་མ་ཡིན་ཏེ། །

ཀུན་རྫོབ་ཀྱི་ན་དབྱེ་བའང་བྱས། །

According to whether or not
They can function as they appear,
Relative phenomena are divided into
The authentic and the inauthentic.

Jñanagarbha, Distinguishing the Two Truths, verse 12
དུ་མས་གཅིག་གི་དངོས་མི་བྱེད། །

དུ་མས་དུ་མ་བྱེད་མ་ཡིན། །
གཅིག་གིས་དུ་མའི་དངོས་མི་བྱེད། །

གཅིག་གིས་གཅིག་བྱེད་པ་ཡང་མིན། །

Several things do not produce just one thing,
And many things do not create a multiplicity.
One thing is not produced by many things.
And from a single thing, a single thing is not produced.

Jñānagarbha, Distinguishing the Two Truths, verse 14
