An effortless compassion can arise for all beings who have not realized their true nature. So limitless is it that if tears could express it, you would cry without end. Not only compassion, but tremendous skillful means can be born when you realize the nature of mind. Also you are naturally liberated from all suffering and fear, such as the fear of birth, death and the intermediate state. Then if you were to speak of the joy and bliss that arises from this realization, it is said by the Buddhas that if you were to gather all the glory, enjoyment, pleasure and happiness of the world and put it all together, it would not approch one tiny fraction of the bliss that you experience upon realizing the nature of mind Nyoshuh Rinpoche
Beauty is found in everything at all times you only have to see the true nature of what your looking at.
Usually most people look at the superficial, the artifice, the outward appearance of something and make a judgement of whether or not it is Beautiful yet they are blind to the true nature of what they are looking at when if you can see the true nature then all things are Beautiful .
If we all spent more time to know the nature of mind we would always be peaceful and everything around us would be beautiful. Nobody would ever be told they were ugly as we would feel their pain also there would be, no sham, no lies, no broken hearts as we would always know how to treat the other and would put forth the effort to not hurt them.
