Awareness Quote by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

“The basic nature of all conscious beings is 'self-existing wakefulness'. Self-existing meaning spontaneous or without effort and wakefulness meaning natural awareness. To ignore our basic nature, is to wander in fear and confusion, to directly realise our essential nature is to be Enlightened.” quote by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche — Download Open image
