We Are What We Experience.

My darlings, this morning I am inspired by the words of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, who writes:

“An enlightened essence is present in everyone. It is present in every state, both samsara and nirvana, and in all sentient beings; there is no exception.”

His words have been present in my thoughts, as of late. In reading through messages, I sense the doubt and hesitation; the unwillingness to fully believe.

That we are already enlightened beings.

We are born into this space, unburdened by the complexities of judgment and ego. We see the world as it truly is, absent the limitations of label.

And, yet? Something holds us back, my loves – prohibiting our ability to experience our ‘Buddha nature’ within.

We see enlightenment as a goal, a destination. Though, ultimately – that which we seek is always within, waiting to be revealed.

“Awakening to enlightenment is not an ancient fable,” he shares. “It is not mythology. It actually does happen. Bring the oral instructions into your own practical experience and enlightenment is indeed possible; it is not just a fairy tale.”
Today, I invite you to explore these subtleties of self, to experience this world as a manifestation of your own Buddha nature. And, to ultimately know…that you are the world you discover.

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️
