Nothing to Attain

Within the Practice of the Buddha-Dharma, to follow your own nature is not the same as following your personal habits or whims, as in the expression "be natural." Some people think you can become a buddha through meditation. This is incorrect. The potential for Buddhahood is already within or part of your nature.

If it were true that Buddhahood depended on meditation, then if you stopped meditating after realizing Buddhahood, you would become an ordinary person again.


Meditation is a practice, a tool.

The objective of the Practice of the Buddha's Teaching is to be in accord with the natural way so your true nature can manifest itself.

Simply practice according to the methods taught be the Buddha and do not worry about being a success.

The Heart Sutra says there is, "No understanding and no attainment."
