"And I would say, 'Why do you think it has to be difficult - it really is so easy.' Then they would say, 'But I don't get it.' And I'd reply, 'What do you mean, you don't get it? Just let it be!'...On one hand, maybe I'm just fooling everybody, making it too simple. But on the other hand, this is really how it is! It is the truth. What is the use of trying to sit and push and struggle, when you can allow the three kayas of buddhahood to be naturally present? Why do we have to strain and contort ourselves into an uneasy posture and an uptight meditative state with some hope that in the future, after a lot of trouble, we may get there? You don't need to go through all that trouble and tension. All you need to do is totally let be and recognize your nature right now."
