"Seeing all things as naked, clear, and free from obscurations, we
understand that there is nothing to attain or realize. Everything is
naturally perfect just as it is. All phenomena appear in their uniqueness as
part of the continually changing patterns of life. These patterns are
vibrant with meaning and significance at every moment . . . .
"The continual stream of new discovery, revelation, and inspiration that
arises at every moment is the manifestation of our clarity. We should
learn to see everyday life as a mandala -- the luminous fringes of
experience that radiate spontaneously from the empty nature of our
being. The aspects of our mandala are the day-to-day objects of our life
experience moving in the dance or play of the universe.
"By this symbolism the inner teacher reveals the profound and ultimate
significance of being. Therefore we should be natural and spontaneous,
accepting and learning from everything. This enables us to see the ironic
and amusing side of events that usually irritate us."
- Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, *The Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones:
The Practice of View, Meditation, and Action*
