In this video, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche delves into the profound concepts of emptiness and the nature of the mind.
Emptiness is the idea that everything is in a constant state of change, interdependent, and devoid of inherent existence. It’s a concept that helps us understand the nature of reality. When applied to the mind, it leads to recognizing the true nature of one’s mind.
However, Rinpoche emphasizes that true liberation doesn’t come from just intellectual understanding but from a deep, experiential realization of these concepts. The video explores how to bridge the gap between intellectual knowledge and direct experience to free ourselves from suffering and negative emotions.
