Hevajra Tantra Quotes

As long as the mind remains clouded by transitory defilement, even though its intrinsic state is pure, the qualities of enlightenment will not crystallize themselves. They will, however, emerge spontaneously upon the elimination of the mind’s defilement. The Hevajra-tantra affirms this:  All sentient beings are Buddhas,Only they are overcome by transitory defilement. They become Buddhas at the moment of eliminating their defilement.  Nāgārjuna expounds:  Though precious vaiḍūrya Is always translucent, If left uncut,It does not shine. So is the all-encompassing reality [dharmadhātu];Though intrinsically undefiled, It is clouded by defilement So it remains latent in saṃsāra But crystallizes itself upon attaining Nirvana.
