“The Buddha within You”: a teaching on the Buddha’s nature

Tags: , , ,

KhangserRinpoche_newsletter_400x500 Ven. Khangser Rinpoche is to explain what the Buddha’s Nature is, and how each and every sentient being, can actualize the potential to end suffering, at Choe Khor Sum Ling Center, Bangalore, on July 12, 2009

Buddha Nature literally corresponds to the Sanskrit, Buddha-ghatu – Buddha Element, Buddha principle. It is also translated as Tathagata-garbha or Sugatagarbha, meaning the pure radiant intrinsic nature present in all sentient beings.
The ultimate consciousness of each being is spotless and pure, but surrounded by negative tendencies which are impure. The impurities that taint the mind and entail the state of unenlightenment are completely adventitious. The qualities of the Buddha’s mind need not to be brought about but merely need to be allowed to shine forth. Because they are intrinsic to the very nature of consciousness itself they, and the very state of Buddhahood, will never cease.
The message the Indian prince Gautama Siddhartha brought from his Enlightenment is that each and every sentient being has the potential to bring an end to suffering and discover a lasting and deathless happiness and peace. Through practice each and every sentient being can become the Buddha, the Awakened One.
Khangser Rinpoche will elaborate on how to realize this potential within us through mind-training practice and meditation techniques.
Rinpoche is a renowned teacher from Sera Jey Monastic University, at the young age of 33 he is one of the foremost Buddhist scholars and practitioners of our time.
