“The main purpose of all these bardo teachings, the ultimate purpose, is to recognize our true nature,” Mingyur Rinpoche said. “What we sometimes call ‘buddha nature,’ or ‘enlightened nature.’
The experiential level is that we have this mind – our true nature, the fundamental nature of our mind – and how we can eventually ‘get there’ and recognize that.
“Our true nature – the buddha nature – is like the sun. The particular moment in between — the bardo — is like when the clouds have a bit of a gap or crack. Through this crack, the sunlight manifests.
If you recognize that, then through that light, you can reach the sun. Then, you will achieve enlightenment. You will recognize your true nature more quickly; it becomes a shortcut.”
