Lady Tsogyal asked the master: What cuts the root of thoughts?
The master replied: Here I shall teach how thoughts can naturally dissolve, by means of three ways of improvement that transcend improving:
● The senses need no improving since they are clearly sense the sense objects.
● Dharmata needs no improving since it never arises.
● Thoughts need no improving since they are clearly seen to be original wakefulness. Why is that? Because it should be understood that everything is original wakefulness since there is nothing other than mind.
This is how thoughts naturally dissolve, since they are clearly seen to be dharmata.
