Vajradhara, The Joy State of the Truth State
"The guru is glorious Vajradhara in person. The essence of his mind is continuous. He is the basis, the vajra body of indivisible prajna and upaya. He is the four important points unified into one. This point is the secret of secrets of relative truth." — Kachö Wangpo
Diamond Holder, Dorje Chang, Vajradhara
"Embodiment of all refuges, dharmakaya Vajradhara, is inseparable from the body of the glorious guru."
— 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje

Dharmakaya Vajradhara — Embodiment of All Refuges

In short, the phenomenal world is mind.
From the aspect of its luminosity, there is appearance.
From the aspect of its essence, there is emptiness.
Neither buddhas nor sentient beings 
Exist as separately established things.
All the so-called gods and demons do not so exist.
Everything is mind.
Mind is self-existing luminosity.
It passes beyond all arising, ceasing, and projecting.
It is free from dwelling, coming, or going anywhere.
Other than this ineffable mind,
There is no Vajradhara.
Mind is luminous;
I have confidence in realizing that this is so.
— 15th Karmapa Khakyab Dorje
