*A condensation of the teachings contained in the [[Three Classes of the Great Perfection]]. Explaining, [[Jigme Lingpa]] writes: "1) Since the view is free from all forms of conceptual projection, the expanse is beyond transition or change; 2) Because the meditation consists of resting in the natural state, the expanse is free from the affirmations and negations of conceptual analysis; 3) Since the fruition is present in its entirety, the expanse is inherently devoid of hope and fear; 4) Because the essence is neither permanent nor nothing at all, the expanse is free from any need to be intellectually proven; 5) Since the nature has no logical basis, the expanse is one of unceasing reality; 6) Since it is characterized by being devoid of worldly entanglements, the expanse is freed from both appearances and mind; 7) As there is no sense of the three times within basic space, the expanse is free from transition and change; 8) Since the display can arise as anything whatsoever, the expanse is unobstructed and manifests naturally; and 9) Because spontaneous equality is without any bias or restriction, the expanse is one of innate freedom and imperturbable rest.
