-) In the [[Dzogchen]] teachings, our true nature, that state of the [[Ground]], is given the name the 'Primordial Buddha'. He is depicted as a [[buddha]], sky-blue in colour, sitting in the vast expanse of space, and encircled by an aura of rainbow light. He is completely naked, meaning unstained by any trace of concept. His name, Kuntuzangpo in Tibetan, Samantabhadra in Sanskrit, means ‘always good', ‘always well’ or ‘unchanging goodness.’ What this signifies is that unchanging goodness, or fundamental goodness, is our ultimate nature.
