Buddha Within Jamgon Kongtrul "The ultimate luminosity of Dharmakaya, absolute truth, is nothing other than the very nature of this uncontrived, ordinary mind. Don't look elsewhere for the Buddha. It is nothing other than the nature of this present awareness. This is the Buddha within. There are innumerable Dharma teachings. There are many antidotes to many different kinds of spiritual diseases. There are many words in the Mahamudra and Dzogchen nondual teachings. But the root, the heart of all practices is included here, in simply sustaining the luminous nature of this present awareness. If you search elsewhere for something better, a Buddha superior to this present awareness, you are deluding yourself. You are chained, entangled in the barbed wire of hope and fear. So give it up! Simply sustain present wakefulness, moment after moment."
