Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

The undivided, empty cognizance, suffused with knowing, is the same for every follower.

They all have to enter the same path to enlightenment.

There is a difference between being deluded and undeluded.

between recognizing and not recognizing our nature.

Although we have the essence of Buddhahood within us, it is temporarily obscured.

The primordially unmistaken quality is called enlightenment, Buddhahood.

the awakened state of Dharmakaya.

The primordially deluded aspect is called ignorance, the deluded experience of sentient beings.

The difference between Buddhas and sentient beings lies in the latter's narrowness of scope or attitude.

The reason all sentient beings confine themselves to their own little area of samsara is their limited attitude and thinking.

It is said that the mind of a sentient being is like a fragment of the sky.

The true yogi does not.

Sentient beings' thoughts are like carvings in stone.

Whatever is thought stays, leaving a trace.

Whatever the mental act, a trace remains.

This is why we must accept that there is karma, there are disturbing emotions and there are habitual patterns.

But on the other hand, the thoughts occurring in the true yogi's mind are like drawings in air.

There is an apparent movement, but it is only seeming because one perceives the nature of their mind.

There is no dualistic clinging to perceiver and perceived, and hence no karmic accumulation whatsoever.

This is the meaning of unceasing self-occurring self-liberation.
