Dogen Zenji
Primordial awareness is in essence perfect and pervades everywhere. How could it be dependent upon what anyone does to practice or realize it?
The movement of reality does not need us to give it a push. Do I need to say that it is free from delusion? The vast expanse of reality can never be darkened by the dust of presumptions.

An imagined entity desires to become an enlightened imagined entity. What’s the point? It is like trying to measure space. Yet, this will continue until such time as the distinction is made between this that I am and that that I appear to be.

Guru Rinpoche
Look into the awakened mind of your own awareness! It has neither form nor color, neither center nor edge. At first, it has no origin but is empty. Next, it has no dwelling place but is empty. At the end, it has no destination but is empty. This emptiness is not made of anything and is clear and cognizant. When you see this and recognize it, you know your natural face.

There is no better protection than the refuge of unbounded sacred space, infinite awareness, and genuine warmth. Any external source of refuge is ultimately unreliable.

Kangyur Rinpoche
To remain in the view to which one has been introduced is conventionally called "meditation" but, in truth, the meditating mind and the view meditated upon are not two different things.
If the mind remains in the view, in the natural and uncontrived state, the fundamental nature of awareness will be seen directly in its nakedness.

Kalu Rinpoche
We have heard a great deal spoken about mind in the past. But it is necessary for us to understand something of the situation, to understand something of the nature of mind.
We speak of mind as being empty, or being void. This means that mind has no form: it has no color, no shape, no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever. In this way we can say that mind is empty.

In the previous causal level, you are so absorbed in the unmanifest dimension that you might not even notice the manifest world. You are discovering Emptiness, and so you ignore Form. But at the ultimate or nondual level, you integrate the two. You see that Emptiness appears or manifests itself as Form, and that Form has as its essence Emptiness.

Mind and its projections are innocent.
They are very ordinary, very natural, and very simple.

Maitripa (1007-1078?)
Homage to Great Bliss!
Mahamudra is knowing that
all things are one's own mind.
Seeing objects as external is just noetic projection.
The whole of "appearance" is as empty as a dream.
The mind as such is merely a flow of awareness,
without self-nature, moving where it will like the wind.
Empty of an identity, it is like space.
All phenomena, like space, are the same.

For those of us who really want to accomplish the meaning of Mahamudra we need to understand that daily, constantly, we have thoughts of self-clinging arising in the mind, thoughts conditioned by self-clinging.
