    Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche provides guidance on recognizing our innate buddha nature and achieving enlightenment. He explains that an enlightened essence is present in all beings, but we must learn to experience it through practicing the Buddha's teachings as supported by the three jewels of the Buddha, dharma, and sangha. Rinpoche advises validating the teachings through our own experience and intelligence rather than blind faith. Realizing our buddha nature can transform our human body into rainbow light at death and free us from samsara's cycle of rebirth and suffering, but we must receive the teachings from an unbroken lineage to attain this state before passing away.

    A Message to Human Beings

    Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche


    A German film crew once asked Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche to say something that would
    be heard by people all over the world. Here is his response.
    First I would like to tell you that an enlightened essence is present in
    everyone. It is present in every state, both samsara and nirvana, and in all
    sentient beings; there is no exception. Experience your buddha nature, make
    it your constant practice, and you will reach enlightenment. In my lifetime I
    have known many, many people who attained such an enlightened state, both
    male and female. Awakening to enlightenment is not an ancient fable. It is
    not mythology. It actually does happen. Bring the oral instructions into your
    own practical experience and enlightenment is indeed possible; it is not just a
    fairy tale.
    To realize our buddha nature, we need the support of three principles.
    First is the precious Buddha, the primal teacher who showed the enlightened
    essence to others. Next is the precious dharma, the teachings on how to train
    in experiencing the enlightened essence. Lastly, there is the precious sangha,
    the people who uphold and spread the teachings. Additionally, there are
    three roots: there is the guru, the root of blessings; the yidam, the root of
    accomplishment; and the dakini, the root of activities. They possess allknowing wakefulness, all-embracing compassion, the activity of deeds for the
    benefit of beings, and the capacity to protect and save others.
    Sometimes we may have doubts and hesitation when relating to the
    Buddhas teachings, but do not leave it with that. It is very important to
    validate what is trustworthy and what is not. My teachers mentioned four
    kinds of validation. First are the words of a perfectly enlightened being, such
    as the Buddha, whose statements are never unwise. Then there are the
    teachings by the great masters of the lineage, passed from one to the other
    until today. Third are the instructions we receive from our own personal
    teacher. Finally, to decide with certainty, we need the validation of our own
    intelligence. Do not leave anything to blind faith or convential belief.
    Examine for yourself what is really the truth.
    What is the reason for the misery and pain every living being undergoes?
    What is the cause of samsaras delusion? It is nothing other than lacking the
    experience of our enlightened essence. We ignore what is primordially
    present within us: our buddha nature. Instead, immersed in confused
    emotions, we chase illusory aims that endlessly result in more deluded

    experience. Thats called samsara. We have already done that for countless
    lifetimes, life after life, death following rebirth. Unless you now take this
    opportunity, while you are still a human being, to realize what is fully
    possible, you will continue in the future in the same deluded way.
    Please understand that the buddha nature is present within everyone.
    Nobody lacks this potential, not even a single person in this world. Unless
    you learn how to bring it into your personal experience, train in that and
    realize it, you remain deluded. Delusion never disappears by itself. Spinning
    around on the rim of samsaras vicious wheel, on the twelve links of
    dependent origination, you will continue life after life. We all die, are reborn,
    and die again, countless times.
    But, in this present life, you can learn to experience your enlightened
    essence, and if you do that, you can, before passing away, attain the perfectly
    and fully awakened state of a buddha. The method to transform this human
    body into rainbow light at the moment of death is only through recognizing
    and realizing our buddha nature; there is no other possible way. The
    instruction for how to do that is still available. Place your trust in the three
    jewels: the precious Buddha, dharma and sangha. Receive this teaching from
    someone who holds an unbroken lineage; this lineage is still intact.
    Otherwise, everyone dies; there is no exception. In the past, everyone who
    lived in this world died. Right now everyone alive will die. Everyone born in
    the future will also die. Everything in the world changes; nothing remains the
    same, nothing is permanent, nothing lasts. If you want to be successful, if
    you really want to take care of yourself --recognize your enlightened essence.
