Buddha nature

Chamtrul Rinpoche Lobsang Gyatso

Chamtrul Rinpoche



Stop chasing. You already have everything that you need. Your buddha nature is already whole.

Your buddha nature is already pure. There is absolutely nothing to obtain.

You just have to completely give up and let go of your self created obscurations that are obscuring your buddha nature.

~ Chamtrul Rinpoche


There are different buddhist practices out there, for different people, with different capacities, at different stages of their path. All are designed to help remove these layers of obscurations, revealing what has always been there - buddha nature.

~ Chamtrul Rinpoche

If you can remember that all beings have buddha nature, it will help you cultivate equanimity, because it will feel like everybody is your family. The greater your equanimity, the greater your love and compassion towards them, no matter who they are, or what they have done.

~ Chamtrul Rinpoche

If you can remember that all sentient beings have buddha nature, it will help you cultivate equanimity towards them all, because it will feel like every being without exception, throughout all planes of cyclic existence, is part of your family. The greater your equanimity, the greater your love and compassion towards them all, no matter who they are, or what they have done, even if they have harmed you.

That is the incredible power of love and compassion, when it arises from equanimity. This is what you must strive towards, in order to become a great bodhisattva on the path to buddhahood.

~ Chamtrul Rinpoche

To attain the enlightened state of a buddha does not mean that we have to add something or create something that has never existed before. We also do not have to do something once it is attained. The moment that we remove all of the obscurations that cover our primordial nature, all of the enlightened qualities of a buddha just naturally, spontaneously and effortlessly arise.

Friday afternoon, September 19, 2025, I slept because of the medication. Then I had a fantastic dream. I dreamed that I was walking on a narrow road and was aware that I was dreaming or that I had died. I thought about waking up. But I felt so good, spiritually without voices and my body felt wonderful where I walked. Then I met a girl 18-30 who I asked: "Do you know where I live?" "Duvgatan" she replied and then I got to hold her and give her a hug. Then I woke up. The dream has taught me that when I do not communicate with spirits, I feel at my best.

Trying not to communicate with spirits has become important for me, who has a diagnosis of Schizophrenia and has been on heavy medication since 2001. What happens to me when I communicate with spirits in the brain is that the division of the mind affects the body, so that I do not feel as well as when I do not communicate with spirits in the brain.

Not conversing with spirits is a Buddhist obscuration less.

Now I am enlightened, I have now realized that bad thoughts and feelings from the realm of evil spirits that want to make me feel bad are just examples. They are not real, because they are eclipses that obscure my Buddha nature. Buddhists teach us to letting go of bad thoughts and feelings. Jesus was right about the Buddha nature of man being light:

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. (Luke 11:34-36)

Since dark thoughts and feelings are only thoughts and feelings that can be experienced as real and lead to captivity, they should be considered as illusions. Even bright thoughts and feelings are only thoughts and feelings, but they lead to liberation from darkness.

Eckhart Tolle has in his book The Power of Now described the discovery of being which is the silent existence between our thoughts. As I see it, being is the same thing as the aliens' "emotional body". According to Eckhart Tolle

George Adamski was told by his space friends that: Man is a divine spirit who currently lives in a body. His life's task is to know his true self, which is equal to the 'feeling body'. "You must try to make the people on earth understand that self-knowledge is the first step in their development. And the first questions are: Who am I? Along what paths can I develop in order to return to the unity I once left? Point out to them that man has nothing to add. He only needs to express what he already is. But he must learn to understand what he is and give expression to this in his life. For it is life, the application, that is important."

Chamtrul Rinpoche, Eckhart Tolle and George Adamski point out that we do not need to add anything or create any new feeling in the emotional body by visualizing our divinity.

It is by living in silence and thinking as little as possible that one experiences Eckhart Tolle's being, which is the same as Jesus the Father and the Buddha Nature of the Buddhists.

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John 14:10-12)

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16)

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. (Luke 10:27-28)

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. (1 John 2:10)

If we don't have the opportunity to love our neighbor. Then love yourself and enjoy yourself. Then you live in good and healing body vibrations.

Paul said:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:23-24)

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)



"We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being. We think that when we’re not doing anything, we’re wasting our time. But that’s not true. Our time is first of all for us to be....To be what? To be alive, to be peaceful, to be joyful, to be loving. And this is what the world needs the most. We all need to train ourselves in our way of being, and that is the ground for all action. Our quality of being determines our quality of doing."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art of Living

"Many people suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore. Mindfulness helps you come home to the present. Life is available only in the present."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh



"That there is an all-wise, intelligent Spirit, that this intelligence is Divine and infinite and permeates all things, cannot be contradicted. Because this intelligence does permeate all things it is infinite and is the source of all. It is Divine, and its Divinity brought into thinkable or visible form, the fact or truth of all things.

You can name this all-wise, intelligent Spirit God or Good, or what you will, as man must have a name for everything. Once he has named a thing, he has the power to bring it into existence. If man names anything through true reverence, worship and praise, he can and does become which he names.

Thus you can see that man by choice can become God or animal. He becomes the ideal which he presents for himself to follow. With this line of thinking, it is simple to see that man is the only-begotten Son of God, or the only-begotten son of the animal. Thus, by choice, man can become evil or devil if his eye behold evil; or he becomes God; if his eyes beholds God ....
