"Meditation and daily life practice are
a path of discovery because there is something to be discovered. It is
called the Nature of Mind, Buddha Nature or the Indestructible Heart Essence.
But what is it? That is what we each have to discover within ourselves.
The path is the awakening process by means of which we come to recognise
it."
Rigdzin Shikpo
