Identifying Your Potential to Change
What is our “pure potential”? It is our potential for the permanent peace of liberation and enlightenment – which is the limitless potential for peace, love, compassion, kindness, and happiness. Our essential nature, our Buddha nature, is pure gold. Indestructible and eternal, it is the ground in which we need to root our sense of self in order to flourish. This workshop is a stand alone class but it can be considered a preparation for the Kadampa International Fall Festival whether you are attending in person or online.
Each and every living being has within them the seed, or potential, to become a Buddha, a fully enlightened being – this is our Buddha nature. In Buddha’s teachings we have found the best method to ripen this seed, or potential.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, How to Transform Your Life
