Wisdom and Sacred Clarity

This teaching was recorded by the chief writer, Venerable HaiZe, on the twenty-fourth day of September, 2021, during the Thrice Yearning Ceremony.

The Inherent Light Within

The words Wisdom (Prajna) and Sacred Clarity are not lofty, divine concepts that remain forever out of reach. On the contrary, these qualities are inherent in the Buddha-nature that every single being possesses. Do not make the mistake of thinking that such profound Wisdom (Prajna) belongs only to the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas. The Buddha-nature is perfectly equal; every being, without exception, carries this same potential within their own heart.

The Natural Manifestation of Truth

When one finally achieves a state of complete openness and clarity, the truth manifests naturally. This Wisdom (Prajna) is not something that comes from the outside; it is not an external gift bestowed upon you. It is the unveiling of what has always been there. Wisdom (Prajna) possesses the power to shatter the darkness of ignorance and confusion. Sacred clarity represents a state of holiness and purity, capable of cleansing the defiled and turbid aspects of our existence, washing away the dust and grime of countless lifetimes.

Walking the Path of Awakening

Wisdom (Prajna) and Sacred Clarity serve as a reflection of the pure state of a practitioner. It is the pure Wisdom (Prajna) of those who have realised their true nature. For those of you who are Buddhist practitioners, you must first seek to understand the true meaning of these words. Observe the actions of those who have already attained awakening. Engage in diligent practice and emulate their conduct. By ensuring that your hearts and actions are in perfect harmony with the Truth, you too shall join the ranks of those who have realised their true nature.
