Many times we're too hard on ourselves and view ourselves as weak, ineffective, hesitant and timid. That becomes so ingrained in our thoughts that we come to believe it's our true nature. However, Buddhist thought teaches just the opposite. Buddhists like to remind us that whenever we look into a mirror, we are seeing a Buddha. Our true nature is Buddhahood and everything that implies.
One way of actualizing our true nature is to meditate upon it. Sit comfortably and take a few deep inhalations/exhalations. Then return to normal breathing. Then repeat these three statements slowly, carefully, over and over during your five-minute meditation.
- Joy is my true nature.
- Love is my true nature.
- Peace is my true nature.
