Many people feel their minds are always busy. Thoughts rise like waves, one after another. They believe it is too hard to quiet the mind or hold it still. But what they may not know is that there are two ways to calm and guide the mind.

The true teaching of the Buddha is not in words, but in knowing your true nature. Once it is clearly seen, you can rest in it, and the path is complete. So, what do “seeing the true nature” and “resting” truly mean? True nature is bright like the sun and pure like a mirror. It is not solid or made of anything in this world. It cannot be held. It does not stay with anything for long.

The mind and one’s true nature may seem like two different things, but they are truly one. They come from the same source and show two sides of the same being—yet they are never apart. The only difference is this: the true nature is still, while the mind is always moving.
