500 образов для медитации на шагах пути к просветлению, занятие 61

[Speaker 1]
We're up to item 61 because that's good, because a lot of us have to pee pee. Who wants to take a shot? Of course it's the last one in the review of Pabongka Rinpoche's treatment of shamatha and vipashyana, shamatha and vipashyana.

Emptiness and emptiness. Who wants to take a shot at the emptiness of emptiness? Who made emptiness?

Yeah, I did. Okay. So are you saying different people have different opinions about emptiness?

Different perceptions of emptiness? Yeah, it's called the history of Buddhism. Okay, got it?

That's one example of the emptiness of emptiness. There are other examples. Why did I put the diamond in the rose?

Is it tonglen meditation? No. Okay, it's again, it's a little...

when you see the rose of this last photo, you're supposed to think about the seeds that open into emptiness itself. Emptiness itself. Schools go all through all kinds of gymnastics trying to explain the dependent origination of emptiness itself, and a lot of them can't do it.

They make up some weird stuff. But in the end, an Arya who sees emptiness directly is watching seeds opening from their mind. Okay, got it?

Cool. That also explains the question of how I... you got that Nick?

Is it in your head? No? It also explains how a changing instrument can observe an unchanging object.

Okay, which is a more difficult point. So these are all tied up with the emptiness of emptiness. Okay, it's enough to say, when Jasmine examines you, you can say, Geshe-la said it would be okay if I just said fountain.

I don't know why it's okay, but fountain.
