Our true nature

Kalu Rinpoche said: The mind in its natural state can be compared to the sky, covered by layers of cloud which hide its true nature.

Our buddha nature (the sun) is always there. It is just our delusions (the cloud) which obscure our mind and make us "blind" to the truth of ourselves.

little words


人不可無癖

清朝詩人張潮曰:

花不可無蝶。
山不可無泉。
石不可無苔。
水不可無藻。
人不可無癖。

人之一癖,說穿了,乃無始劫之習氣也。
好壞應看個人造化了。
