We have the habit of always looking outside ourselves, thinking we can get wisdom and compassion from another person or the Buddha or his teachings (Dharma) or our community (Sangha).
But you are the Buddha, you are the Dharma, you are the Sangha.
–Thich Nhat Hanh, Answers from the Heart
Its the same as hakuins poem:
All beings are Buddha by nature,
just as water and ice are the same.
Without water there’s no ice,
outside of beings, no Buddha.
The important point is to start with you.
Don't go looking elsewhere for it.
You're it.
