"Not born, not ended
unformulated by nature.

Without image, self-freed
unconstructed radiant light.

To very pure ordinary awareness
I pay homage
with a realization that does not move
into the three times."

So begins "Dancing Moon in the Water" one of two secret autobiographies of Jigme Lingpa translated and studied by Janet Gyatso in Apparitions of the Self.
