No amount of money can buy a pure mind, nor can anyone purify it for you. Only you can do that for yourself.
Nothing is more precious.
"When there are clouds and fog everywhere, the world is dark, but that does not mean the sun has decomposed.
Why is there no light? The light is never destroyed; it is just enshrouded by clouds and fog.
The pure mind of all living beings is like this, merely covered up by the dark clouds of obsession with objects, arbitrary thoughts, psychological afflictions, and view and opinions.
- Hongren (602-675)If you can just keep the mind still so that errant thought does not arise, the reality of nirvana will naturally appear. This is how we know the inherent mind is originally pure."
