Why do we often see others’ shortcomings more clearly than our own?
Why do we tend to admire someone’s achievements?
That is because external things are always easier to observe than what is within ourselves!
Everything manifested in the outer world has a part within you. The truth is that everything you encounter, see, engage with, and experience exists to some degree within you.
When you delve deeply into spirituality, you return to your true self, pure and whole. Within you, too, is a share of the Buddha, of Christ, of awakened beings… That is the state of a Buddha. Buddhahood is the state of awakened consciousness, of complete enlightenment. And within you, such a Buddha always exists.
May you always recognize, observe, and learn to love yourself with purity and clarity. For you are a Buddha-to-be. Always and forever so!
