“According to the general Buddhist view, the whole of samsāra, with its myriad pleasant and miserable realms, is a prison. But from the perspective of pristine awareness, all of samsāra and nirvāna is equally suffused by the primordial purity of the Great Perfection.”― B. Alan Wallace, Fathoming the Mind: Inquiry and Insight in Dudjom Lingpa's Vajra Essence
