The following is an excerpt from a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo called “Antidoting the Mantra of Samsara”
According to the Buddha’s teachings, that goal isn’t very far away. It doesn’t even have to be created. One doesn’t create enlightenment you see. Enlightenment cannot be created. The natural state cannot be brought closer or created or uncreated. It simply is not within the realm of that kind of activity. What must happen is we must purify or apply the antidote to certain conditioned responses that we are chronically and continually engaging in in order to develop a kind of spaciousness within our perception or our view, a kind of spaciousness within our mind by which we can truly awaken to the primordial wisdom nature. So what has to be done is very deep.
