Buddhahood, spoken of as being luminous by nature [but] having been obscured by the massive web
Of the thick clouds of adventitious afflictive and cognitive [obscurations], just as the sun and the sky,
Is endowed with all the stainless buddha qualities and is permanent, everlasting, and eternal.
It is attained based on the wisdom that is nonconceptual about [all] phenomena and discriminates them.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 416 [3]
On l’appelle « luminosité naturelle » et elle évoque le soleil et le ciel.
L’épaisse nuée des [voiles] adventices du connaissable
et des affections la recouvrent
[Mais elle reste] la bouddhéité permanente, stable et éternelle,
dotée de toutes les qualités immaculées des bouddhas.
On peut l’atteindre avec les deux sagesses qui discernent
tous les phénomènes sans la moindre pensée.

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [4]
Buddhahood5 is that which is called pure and radiant,
(Shining) like the sun and (immaculate) like the sky,
Which was darkened by the Obscurations
Of defilement and ignorance as by dense multitudes of clouds
And is now perfectly pure, possessed of all the properties of the Buddha,
Is eternal, firm and indestructible.
It is attained on the foundation of the knowledge of the Truth,
Which is free from dialectical thoüght-construction,
And the knowledge analyzing (the elements of existence).
Takasaki (1966) [5]
Buddhahood has been spoken of as being radiant by nature,
[however] as being covered with the net of the multitude of clouds,
In the form of [obstructions on account of] defilements
And knowable things which are of accidental nature,
Just as the sun and the sky [are often interrupted by clouds
Though they are radiant and immaculate, respectively];
This Buddhahood is now eternal, everlasting and constant,
Being endowed with all the the pure properties of the Buddha,
And is attained when the elements [of existence] take resort
To the Non-discriminative and Analytical Wisdom.
Fuchs (2000) [6]
[Enlightenment, of which the Buddha] said: "It is by nature clear light," is similar to the sun and space.
It is free from the stains of the adventitious poisons and hindrances to knowledge, the veils of which obscured it [like] a dense sea of clouds.
Buddhahood is permanent, steadfast, and immutable, possessing all the unpolluted buddha qualities.
It is attained on the basis of [two] primordial wisdoms: [one is] free from ideation with regard to phenomena, [the other is] discriminative.
