Tenzin Palmo:
First
Breakthrough
”The initial realization of the nature of the mind is the first breakthrough. It’s a very important point in all Buddhist schools. At that moment, you cease to be an ordinary person. You become in Buddhist parlance an arya, a noble one. It doesn’t mean you are finished. It doesn’t mean you are a high level bodhisattva. We can fall back from this. But still, this is a big breakthrough. We now understand what is true and what is not true. We don’t have to take it all on faith any more. It is a direct nondual experience. The point is that it is very easy. It’s not difficult, and it’s not something that can only be attained after years and years of practice.”*
”It would
be nice if someone would come along and find a method by which people
could awaken. Even the Buddha couldn't do that.”**
”I
rejoice that Kim is enabling so many practitioners to get awakened in
such an approachable manner. May the Dharma flourish for the benefit
of all beings!”***
