does "free from nihilism" mean mind is continuous? does this verse imply mind continues after the death of the brain?
As its essence is emptiness, it is free from eternalism. As its nature is clarity, it is free from nihilism. As its capacity is ceaseless, it is the basis of various manifestations. These are divided as three but in meaning they are indivisible. Jigme Lingpa

Mystics are notoriously lousy ontologists, but: No, and no. IME. You raise good questions though, Chagmé. It is worth reflecting on what is it a practitioner can learn from such a verse, without falling into magical thinking, ideological orthodoxy, cognitive bias, and so on.pic.twitter.com/uwF56BVJ1r
