宗薩欽哲仁波切開示本初善、佛性

「遮蔽我們佛性的禁忌，是因我們使用外在的參考點來定義並確認我們自己的自我主體而發展出來的。這裡的問題是，那些參考點不斷改變。當我們嘗試要跟上這些變異的參考點時，這些禁忌就互相堆疊而加倍產生。我們的自我意識增加，而我們感受到恐懼和易受傷。參考點是我們希望、恐懼和禁忌的由來，也把我們越來越帶離我們的佛性。因此，你不如斷除禁忌，並回到真實──你自己的本初善，你的佛性。」

"The inhibitions that obscure our buddha nature develop because we use external points of reference to define and confirm our own self-identity. The problem with this is that reference points continually change. As we try to keep up with these varying references, inhibitions build upon themselves and multiply. Our self-consciousness increases, and we experience fear and vulnerability. Reference points are the cause of our hope, fear and inhibitions, and they take us farther and farther from our buddha nature. So you might as well cut inhibitions and go back to what is true—your own basic goodness, your buddha nature."
