Forgive me Kaarine...

There is nothing to forgive about... I really enjoy when traditions agree in their understandings. It is a relief. Sometimes I am so enthusiastic about Zen that I forget that maybe, if not completely different, there are other ways to follow Dhamma.

"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.

Yes, that is the idea. To perform in such a way is giving up attachment.
