The Tibetan word for wisdom is yeshe, which means ‘primordial intelligence.’ You are yourself at the beginning of any beginning. You could almost call it ‘unoriginated trust in yourself.’ You do not have to find the beginning at all. It is a primordial situation, so there is no point in trying to logically find the beginning. It ‘is’ already. It is beginningless.
