Nice quote from Malcolm:
That “Mind of” [kyi sems] is the unmixed totally complete essence, the
primal nature of the eight consciousnesses endowed with a luminous [‘od
gsal] identity which inherently never wavers into any extreme at all,
free from all extremes, naturally pure and unwavering in the three
times. Now then, if it is asked “Is it not impossible for such a pure
primal nature to appear to the mind of a person?”, it is possible,
called “vidyā” [rig pa, the knowing
aspect of the mind]. The vidyā of migrating beings itself appears as the
mental consciousness in terms of apprehending subjects and apprehended
objects. When vidyā manifests its own primal nature, the mental
consciousness manifests as self-originated wisdom, and then the pure
basis of the mental consciousness (free from the root of an apprehending
subject and apprehended objects) bring samsara to an end. The wisdom of
one’s vidyā (without root or leaf) — naturally perfected as it
all-encompassingly subsumes everything — is the true state [de kho na
nyid]. -- The Sun That Illuminates the Meaning
