You are Buddha

"When you realize the nature of mind, layers of confusion peel away. You don't actually "become" a Buddha, you simply cease, slowly, to be deluded (because you already *are* Buddha). And being a buddha is not being some omnipotent spiritual superman, but becoming at last a *true* human being."

Sogyal Rinpoche
Excerpt | Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
