Sogyal Rinpoche says imagine “… a sky, empty, spacious, and pure from the beginning; [our nature]’s essence is like this. … Imagine a sun, luminous, clear, unobstructed, and spontaneously present; [our nature] is like this. Imagine that sun shining out impartially on us and all things, penetrating in all directions; [our nature]’s energy, which is the manifestation of compassion, is like this; nothing can obstruct it and it pervades everywhere.”
