Polishing the Crystal (Link #515)

from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students

Speaker: Chris Holland. Chris encourages us to respond to current historical crises with wisdom, compassion, and kindness by reconnecting with our buddha nature and remembering our deeper aspirations. A crystal unobstructed by impurities reveals its true nature, refracting light and revealing a rainbow spectrum; so too a mind cleansed of afflictions reveals its buddha nature. Citing the Uttaratantra Shastra, Rumi, and The Venerable Dzigar Kongrul Rinpoche, Chris emphasizes the need to "polish the crystal" of the mind by self-reflection, and by generating and extending kindness and compassion to ourselves and to others. Only through self-acceptance and self-reflection can we experience our buddha nature; recognizing that we share this buddha nature with all beings enables us to embrace our inseparability from others and from the universe itself.
