Geshe Gyalten, Awakening the Buddha Within

5/30/2017

“Last night I had a beautiful dream of Guru Buddha making an inspirational statement:
'You are the master of your destiny. You are the creator of your fate. You are the possessor of your Buddha.' I woke up, contemplated the statement, and my understanding of the rules of causality (karma) is that -- We are not waiting for things to happen; rather, we are going to make things happen. We are neither waiting for nor chasing after the Buddha, but awakening the Buddha within.”

~ Geshe Gyalten Kungka
