...we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the buddha nature as our innermost essence. . . .

Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth

More and more, I have come to realize how thoughts and concepts are all that block us from always being . . . in the absolute. . . . When the view is there, thoughts are seen for what they truly are: fleeting and transparent, and only relative. . . . You do not cling to thoughts and emotions or reject them, but welcome them all within the vast embrace of Rigpa.

Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha.

More important than finding the teacher is finding and following the truth of the teaching.

Just as if you put your finger into water, it will get wet, and if you put it into fire, it will burn, so if you invest your mind in the wisdom mind of the Buddhas, it will transform into their wisdom nature.

Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow.
