"Pure Perception...is to recognize the buddha-nature in all sentient beings and to see primordial purity and perfection in a;; phenomena. Every sentient being is endowed with the essence of buddhahood, just as [sesame] oil pervades every sesame seed. Ignorance is simply to be unaware of this buddha-nature, like a poor man who does not know that there is a pot of gold buried beneath his hovel. The journey to enlightenment is thus a rediscovery of this forgotten nature, like seeing the ever-brilliant sun again as the clouds that have been hiding it are blown away.
