"The ordinary person's mind is the same as the sage's, because Original Mind is perfect and complete in itself." I like the think that the mind started perfect but as we grow up it gets foggier and things start filling it up and kicking other information to the far back of the brain. And to find enlightenment again, we must forget about everything thats cluttering up the mind and clean out our minds to get rid of the fogginess so we can go back to our original enlightened mind. Because we can't find anything to be enlightened outside of ourselves, it comes from within our own mind.
