Forgive me Kaarine...

I think that we are on more of the same page than I might have realized. Yes, I like this approach that you give mention to. There is a beautiful "pith instruction", called the "song on Mahamudra" by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, and one line states

"Since in the action of Mahamudra there is no reference point for any action, be free from the intention to act or not."

I think this parallels quite nicely to what you have mentioned. And, I suppose it could be said that the ripening karma of the actions done with such a view is in fact our merit. Giving up attachment to any aspect of our actions is definitely a key aspect of the view. Thanks for the reminder...
