Gold In The Mud
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
“Although buddha nature is present in everyone, we
fail to recognise it. This ignorance is the main cause
for wandering in samsara.
Due to the ignorance of not knowing their own nature,
sentient beings have strayed into confusion, like gold
that has fallen into the mud and is temporary defiled.
Buddhas did not stray into confusion but retained their
‘natural seat’. The difference between buddhas and
sentient beings is the difference between knowing or
not knowing our innate nature.”
(Knowing is unbroken pure awareness.)
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
“Although buddha nature is present in everyone, we fail to recognise it. This ignorance is the main cause for wandering in samsara.”

I see activated Buddha nature or awareness as being the same as activated and hyper aware Christ consciousness……
The manifestations and results from becoming aware of our true actual pure nature.
” To actually know thy self “. To know where we come from and where we are going , and to use our free-will accordingly !
Absolutely!
It appears clearly obvious to me at this point in my research and lifelong experiences, that
“The Hidden and Sacred Secret” is that people are looking around their outer world everywhere for the real actual Christ/Buddha and enlightenment…
When in actuality, the whole time it has been purposely hidden within us inside our DNA, just waiting for the right circumstances and time to be activated by our intentions and free-will !
“When you seek, you will find, then you realize you do have eyes to see and ears to hear” !
Absolutely!
