In line with Tibetan Nyingma doctrine, a Tibetan lama, Ch\u00f6kyi Nyima Rinpoche, equates this radiant essence with Buddha Nature. He writes: &#8230; all sentient beings already possess an enlightened spirit, the sugatagarbha [i.e. the Buddha-nature]. This essence permeates anyone with a mind, just as oil thoroughly permeates any sesame seed &#8230; The moment our ego-clinging falls apart, our innate wisdom, the luminosity of dharmat\u0101, will vividly, nakedly appear.
