Daily Gosho - What It Means to Hear the Buddha Vehicle for the First Time

"What is the poison? It is the three paths of earthly desires, karma, and suffering that are our lot. What is the medicine? It is the Dharma body, wisdom, and emancipation.

This is what the attainment of Buddhahood in one's present form means."
