Buddha nature is not a new acquisition, but a matter of revealing the original light.

Seeing Buddha nature directly does not mean gaining something special from somewhere far away. Just as the embers of an old lantern do not disappear even if they are covered with covers and dust, Buddha nature remains in its original location.

Practice is not about creating light that did not exist, but about removing the dust and attachments that were covering it and confirming the original light. When delusion and obsession are thick, we cannot see the light, but the light itself does not disappear.

If you look directly at Buddha nature, the path to freedom from the distinction between life and death and nirvana opens. If you stop at just understanding this in words, it becomes knowledge, but if you confirm it directly in your heart, it becomes the power to shake your life.

Like the actions of Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, enlightenment does not stop at quiet understanding. Those who have identified the original light must reveal that light through practice and compassion. Freedom of mind becomes more evident in our actions in life.

Today, take a look at what dust and obsessions are covering my mind. When you become aware of your anger, fear, and desire for recognition and let go of them, a little more of your original light is revealed.
