Becoming a Buddha
"Within Buddhist scripture is Gautama Buddha's teaching that all beings have within them the Buddha-nature-the essence, or seed, of Buddhahood.
"We have the seed of Buddhahood right inside of us. And because we have it, we have the potential to become a Buddha."
-from THE BUDDHIC ESSENCE
In The Buddhic Essence: Ten Stages to Becoming a Buddha, author Elizabeth Clare Prophet gently traces the pathway that leads to Buddhahood. She does so in such a way that we can personally relate to the different stages and also see within them steps that we can accomplish in the course of our daily lives.
The journey to Buddhahood is a journey not measured in distance or time. Its markers are self-knowledge and a yearning for something within that beckons the soul to take the next step in her spiritual journey.
"The road to Buddhahood is open to all. At all times have all living beings the Germ of Buddhahood in them."
-RATNAGOTRAVIBHAGA 1:28
