When the nature of the mind is recognized, that is called nirvana; when it is obscured by delusion, that is called samsara.
Yet neither samsara nor nirvana has ever parted from the continuum of the absolute.
His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The method that the Buddha discovered is meditation. He discovered that struggling to find answers did not work. It was only when there were gaps in his struggle that insights came to him. He began to realize that there was a sane, awake quality within him that manifested itself only in the absence of struggle. So the practice of meditation involves “letting be.”
-Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
Do not make the mistake of imagining that the nature of mind is exclusive to our mind only. It is in fact the nature of everything. It can never be said too often that to realize the nature of mind is to realize the nature of everything.
Sogyal Rinpoche
