bdag gzhan gyi so mtshams ni/ bdag ces bya ba mngon zhen du bzung ba'o/ gzhan zhes bya ba phyogs ris su bcad pa'o/ de nyams su len pa'i dus bdag la bltas pas/ bdag tu bzung ba ma grub/ gzhan la bltas pas/ gzhan phyogs ris su 'dzin pa yang ma grub ste/ bdag gzhan gnyis ka sems/ sems kyi ngo bo bdag gzhan dbyer med par rang sar dag pa'i gnad do//

Note

In discussing the interface between bdag and gzhan (twelfth of thirty-two) Padmasambhava defines each and indicates how self and other are only polarizing projections of the mind ("self" is to hold close, "other" is to set up a barrier) that are indivisible when one sees neither can be established ontically.
