"The nature of the mind is like your own face; it is always with you but you cannot see it without help.
Imagine that you have never seen a mirror before. The introduction by the master is like suddenly holding up a mirror in wich you can, for the first time, see your own face reflected.
Just like your face, this pure awareness of Rigpa is not something "new" that the master is giving you, nor is it something you could possible find outside yourself.
It has always been yours, and has always been with you but up until that moment you have never actually seen it."
The Tibetan Book of the Living and the Dying
