“Many people look for freedom through accumulating either material possessions or spiritual knowledge. These searches amount to nothing more than a donkey chasing after a dangled carrot. When we wake up to that truth in this very moment we realize that what we were seeking was already here. The question is, ‘Can we wake up to this truth?’ It might be much easier than we think. Remember, great ancient masters often said that we don’t realize the truth because it is too simple and too close to us. When we finally realize it, we will be shocked by two things: how much time we wasted searching and how easy it was after all.”
Anam Thubten Rinpoche
