As Natural as Breathing

"We should also avoid thinking of ourselves as worthless persons – we are naturally free and unconditioned. We are intrinsically enlightened and lack nothing. When engaging in meditation practice, we should feel it to be as natural as eating, breathing and defecating. It should not become a specialized or formal event, bloated with seriousness and solemnity...

The ultimate teacher, the absolute, is never separate from us, Yet immature beings, not recognizing this, look outside and seek him far away, Sole father, with your immense love
you have shown me my own wealth; I, who was a pauper, constantly feel your presence in the depth of my heart."

-- Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
