Every Living Being Can Actualize Enlightenment
Date Posted:
Rinpoche sent this small advice to someone who had been in hospital for many months and was now slowly recovering.
Thank you very much, my situation is slowly getting better. I have been lazy in practicing Dharma, so this is my punishment.
Tell Peter that the suffering of samsara is related to karma and is temporary; the nature of the mind is not mixed with that. It is temporarily obscured, but it can be cleaned away. If it is mixed with the ultimate nature of the mind, then there is no way to be free, but that isn't the case and that is why everyone can be free, and can achieve enlightenment. By learning, practicing and realizing the path, through that every living being can actualize enlightenment ...not just free from the suffering.
