<p>You can&#8217;t produce it.<br />
You can&#8217;t achieve it.<br />
You can&#8217;t add to it<br />
or diminish it.</p>
<p>It is the nature of Reality.<br />
Your reality.<br />
It permeates all of existence.<br />
Your existence.</p>
<p>You are always already enlightened.<br />
It is no different than your ordinary mind.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no difference between this moment<br />
and enlightenment.&#8221;<br />
(Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche)<br />
whatever that is.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t do or it undo it.<br />
It just IS.</p>
<p>But you can accept or resist it.<br />
And you can be aware of it.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you only knew how close you were to enlightenment.&#8221;<br />
(Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche)</p>
<p>And you can PRACTICE it.<br />
By realizing at every moment<br />
that you are enlightened<br />
that enlightenment is the essence<br />
of everything around you.</p>
<p>The more you practice it,<br />
the stronger the realization becomes.<br />
Then you can RELAX with it.<br />
And get on with being of benefit<br />
to all beings.</p>
