Appearances are delusion; do not indulge in ordinariness.
Food is merely to sustain your life force; do not grovel for food.
Wealth is illusory; do not indulge in craving.
Clothes are to protect you from cold; do not indulge in opulent fashions.
Equality is nondual; do not indulge in intimate companions.
Be free from preference to country; do not indulge in a homeland
Make your dwelling an empty cave; do not indulge in monastic life.
Do your practice in solitude; do not indulge in social gatherings.
Be detached and free from clinging; do not indulge in attachment.
Be a self liberated yogi, do not indulge in charlatanism.
I, Padmakara, am now taking leave,
Whether you live in the present or will appear in the future,
Tibetan yogis of future generations, keep this in your hearts.
Thus he gave instructions.
From the book "The lotus- Born. The life story of Padmasambhava"
