Let me see: Our Perfected Nature will not change back to a previous state because it is already manifested as it is.
I thought our "Perfected Nature" would mean our unmanifested selves?
I am sure that many know and understand very well what I am talking about. But I was replying to you.
The imaginary nature has no characteristics. The dependent nature has no arising. The Perfected Nature ultimately has no nature. When you will be constantly aware of these three non-natures, it will become your knowledge that all phenomena are revealed to be without nature by establishing the non-natures of the three natures.
Therefore all phenomena are permeated by emptiness and free of inherent being, thus all phenomena are empty and non-empty. This is the reason why the mentally fabricated emptiness, the mind of the moving thoughts and the 6 consciousnesses are impermanent, whilst dharmakaya, sambhogakaya and nirmanakaya are permanent. Get to find in there the Perfected Nature -but there is nothing “to be found”. You -and me and everybody else- are potentially perfect but incidentally obscured; when this obscuration is cleared, you are in oneness with your suchness -with the Perfected Nature.
You can always meditate and get to know that
the Perfected Nature is unborn, non-dwelling and unceasing, it does neither come nor go, it is neither one nor many, it has no cause, it has no fruition, it is free of characteristics, qualities and ground of being, it transcends SpaceTime, it is free of all relative phenomena, it cannot be separated into distinct parts, it is the ground being of all phenomena and thus it is ever-present and all pervasive. For, the Perfected Nature is never empty of itself: whatever is relative is at the same time empty of other-nature and empty of self-nature; the Perfected Nature is ultimate and empty solely of other nature. When you see the Perfected Nature, you see your face before your birth; May You Have Unmistaken Knowledge And Full Attainment of the Perfected Nature!
I gave you what I cherish most and still I gave you no thing, for whatever I have you also have it. Discard the words. If you want to go further, work the Sky koan
