Milarepa's Three Nails of Meditation

Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
All thoughts in being dharmakaya are free.

The nature of thoughts is luminous clarity, which is the true nature of mind-beyond fabrication, transcending all conceptual descriptions. Luminous clarity is the dharmakaya of natural purity. What is this dharmakaya like?

Awareness is luminous, in its depths is bliss.

The experience of dharmakaya has three characteristics: awareness, luminosity, and bliss. How do you meditate on that?

And resting without contrivance is equipoise.

Without trying to create or to stop anything, just let go and relax. That is meditation. There is no clearer explanation.
