Why do we take rebirth as an ordinary sentient being?

17th May 2023

I have already taught something about this Basic Nature. When a thought appears from there and you look towards that thought, the thought disappears and there is a clear presence. Soon afterwards, a thought arises. If you follow the thought and immediately judge it as good or bad or something, then you forget where it is coming from, you forget the source.
