+We are all human beings, and from this point of view, we are the same.  We all
+want happiness and we do not want suffering.  If we consider this point, we

+Enlightenment is not anything new or something we create or bring into
+existence.  It is simply discovering within us what is already there.  It is
+the full realization of our intrinsic nature.  In Tibetan, buddha is sang

+means “full realization”; just as from darkness, the moon waxes, likewise
