How close the truth

 

"Seeing a difference or gap between your consciousness and that of a Buddha is the single cause of samsara, suffering, and delusion. But it is the Buddha Mind itself which is manifesting Itself as being the sentient being that doesn’t recognize this!"
~ Jackson Peterson

“All beings are primarily Buddhas. 
Like water and ice, 
There is no ice apart from water; 
There are no Buddhas apart from beings. 
Not knowing how close the Truth is to them, 
Beings seek for it afar--what a pity!"
~Zen Master Hakuin Zenji
