Discover Stillness, Clarity, and Presence

“Meditation is not something that a Buddha or a spiritual teacher can insert into our mind from outside. It is already present although only as a potential state. We all possess the state of meditation but we do not know how to use it. We are in the situation of someone who possess a beautiful car but does not know how to drive.” Bokar Rinpoche
