The Power of Belief

“Your thoughts make you feel the way you do, it is never about the circumstances. You feel the way you do because you choose to believe in your thoughts.”

When we talk about source, we immediately represent some kind of primary event, at first. But what does "the beginning" mean? For us, the beginning is related to time, suggesting that time exists and that this is the beginning of time.

But if we find ourselves outside the limits of time, what then does the "beginning" mean? Does not make any sense. The "beginning" is just the moment when we enter into duality. But when we are beyond that, the beginning does not exist. So we're never going to be able to illustrate all this in some scheme.

When we say, "initial," Samantabhadra and so on, many have the same idea that Christians have about God: God created the world, first was Samantabadhra, and then we were.

But by the word "initial" I don't mean this. "Initial" is a true condition. And our true state is timeless. However, those who want to connect everything with time and establish when everything began, must understand that the source, the beginning is when we have entered duality. The source, the beginning of a reflection, is the moment when an object appears in front of a mirror. But the beginning of a reflection is not the beginning of a mirror or the beginning of an object. This is what duality is.

Give up all distractions, all the many spreading delusions, and for an instant look at absolute reality as it is.

When the root of duality - dualistic clinging, dualistic perceptions, deluded perceptions - is severed, all the leaves, the branches, and even the tree trunk of samsara and nirvana naturally wither on their own and topple in their own time. Then this great spreading tree of samsara and nirvana, of duality, of worldliness, of conditioned being, does not need to be chopped down: it is already as if dead. We can relax; done is what had to be done, as the Buddha sang.

This is the whole point of the dharma, of spiritual awakening, of buddhahood; this is its ultimate evolution or unfolding. If we aspire to experience such an awakening, there is nothing else to do except recognize the true nature of our primordial awareness, our own essential being, our own birthright, which is within. This is the intrinsic nature of our own heart-mind, also known as bodhicitta or bodhi-mind. It is our own being, our own nature, this renowned buddha-nature. It is not a buddha anywhere else.

-Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche
