"If you do not recognize appearances as mind, you will not realize the nature of mind. If you do not realize the nature of mind, whatever meditation you practice becomes just another form of delusion."
-Padmasambhava, in the book Natural Liberation

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, was instrumental in bringing Buddhism to Tibet a long time ago, the 7th, 8th century, and what he is pointing out here is that everything that appears to us is inseparable from our mind itself and. Understanding the nature of mind is actually the key to liberation, to freedom. We free the mind by understanding the mind and the mind's nature, how it works, what it actually is, and he's saying that this is the solution to our existential problems. That if we don't completely understand and come to a realization of what the mind is, then we are meditating in the dark. We are just perpetuating our own confusion and delusion, and our journey is to wake up from delusion and to see things clearly as they are. As Padmasambhava says here, the key is understanding our own mind.
