འདི་ལས་བསལ་བྱ་ཅི་ཡང་མེད། །

གཞག་པར་བྱ་བ་ཅུང་ཟད་མེད། །
ཡང་དག་ཉིད་ལ་ཡང་དག་ལྟ། །

ཡང་དག་མཐོང་ན་རྣམ་པར་གྲོལ། །

In this, there is not a thing to be removed,
Nor the slightest thing to be added.
It is looking perfectly into reality itself,
And when reality is seen, complete liberation.[1]

Maitreya, Ornament of Realization, Chapter 5, verse 21[2]
