If you don’t find a teacher soon, you’ll live this life in vain. It’s true, you have the Buddha-nature. But without the help of a teacher, you’ll never know it. Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher’s help.
If, though, by the conjunction of conditions, someone understands what the Buddha meant, that person doesn’t need a teacher. Such a person has a natural awareness superior to anything taught. But unless you’re so blessed, study hard, and by means of instruction you’ll understand.
~ Bodhidharma
I am certainly one in many many many millions that are still stuck in samsara.
:oo:
We all wander in samsara occassionally at best…
May the wandering be part of the process of finding the way out!

Amituofo
The wandering is the journey and
the way out is the way in… :heart:
