The path to discovering Buddha-nature is found within suffering and our relationship to it, not by escaping it. And BPD has become my teacher. I no longer want to deny it or disassociate myself from it. Neither do I identify myself with it. My work now is to allow the bright seed within me to crack its sheath and grow, no longer ashamed and hiding. Turning toward you, Buddhas-to-be, I will try to mirror your true nature and share your pain.
