"The metaphors of sky and spaciousness are often used to describe the nature of mind in Dzogchen."
 

 

The water is clear right through to the bottom;
A fish goes lazily along.
The sky is vast without horizon;
A bird flies far far away.

("Lancet of Seated Meditation", Hongzhi Zhengjue [by imperial designation the Chan Master Spacious Wisdom], tr. Carl Bielefeldt, "Dōgen’s Manuals of Zen Meditation", p 200)

You call it simplifying?..  I had to google!  And I'm not the type who eschews grandiloquence!  

 

Maybe you could start a thread titled "complicate" or something.

Playing with words, fun.  Advice/advise unasked for can be problematic at least.
