There Is No Buddha Elsewhere

Don’t wander, don’t wander, place mindfulness on guard;
Along the road of distraction, Mara lies in ambush.
Mara is the mind, clinging to like and dislike;
So look into the essence, free from dualistic fixation.

Realize that your mind is unfabricated primordial purity.
There is no buddha elsewhere; look at your own face.
There is nothing else to search for; rest in your own place.

Non-meditation is spontaneous perfection, so capture the royal seat.
