The Natural Freedom of the Nature of Mind (Tib. སེམས་ཉིད་རང་གྲོལ་, Semnyi Rangdrol; Wyl. sems nyid rang grol) - part of Longchenpa's Trilogy of Natural Freedom. It has three chapters, related to the Ground, Path and Fruition, and it contains the oft-quoted lines:
- Since everything is but an illusion,
- Perfect in being what it is,
- Having nothing to do with good or bad,
- Acceptance or rejection,
- One might as well burst out laughing!
- ཐམས་ཅད་མཉམ་རྫོགས་སྒྱུ་མའི་རང་བཞིན་ལ། །
- བཟང་ངན་བླང་དོར་མེད་པས་དགོད་རེ་བྲོ། །
- thams cad mnyam rdzogs sgyu ma'i rang bzhin la//
- bzang ngan blang dor med pas dgod re bro//
