ThongdrolSherab Nyingpo Ep 7 - Heart Sutra by Khenpo Karma Tseten - 7The Heart Sutra(བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་མ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་སྙིང་པོ) is the most widely known sutra of the Mahayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is part of the Prajnaparamita Sutras, which is a collection of about 40 sutras composed between 100 BCE and 500 CE. The Heart Sutra is a presentation of profound wisdom on the nature of emptiness.
The Sutra famously states, "Form is emptiness (śūnyatā), emptiness is form." It is a condensed exposé on the Buddhist Mahayana teaching of the Two Truths doctrine, which says that ultimately all phenomena are sunyata, empty of an unchanging essence. This emptiness is a 'characteristic' of all phenomena, and not a transcendent reality, but also "empty" of essence of its own. Specifically, it is a response to Sarv...2020-11-1900 min

All the intellectual dharmas are created and you will not be able to see the uncreated meaning. So, for this reason, take all practices and all appearances as the path without heed. The best practice, whether sitting and looking at the mind, is to practice without any sessions or breaks. Look at the mind all the time whether you are going, lying down, eating, or sitting.

ThongdrolTilopa’s Ganges Mahāmudrā Ep 5 (ENGLISH) Sangye Nyenpa RinpocheIgnorance Is a Problem
If that is so, how does samsara come about? In the beginning of Entering the Middle Way, Chandrakirti explains:
First you think “I” and cling to a self,
Then you think “mine” and cling to things.” (Ch. 1, v3ab)
Like a turning water wheel, you circle around in samsara due to clinging to an “I,” and once you have fixated on this self, there is “mine,” what belongs to you, and then comes the “other,” those seen as enemies, and so forth. This is the usual way that samsara app...2020-11-1700 min

The View must be connected with scripture and logic. Then, we can practice meditation on egoless-ness. Meditation must be connected with non-fixation and Conduct becomes manifest with experience.

ThongdrolSherab Nyingpo Ep 5 - Heart Sutra by Khenpo Karma Tseten - 5The Heart Sutra(བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་མ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་སྙིང་པོ) is the most widely known sutra of the Mahayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is part of the Prajnaparamita Sutras, which is a collection of about 40 sutras composed between 100 BCE and 500 CE. The Heart Sutra is a presentation of profound wisdom on the nature of emptiness. The Sutra famously states, "Form is emptiness (śūnyatā), emptiness is form." It is a condensed exposé on the Buddhist Mahayana teaching of the Two Truths doctrine, which says that ultimately all phenomena are sunyata, empty of an unchanging essence. This emptiness is a 'characteristic' of all phenomena, and not a transcendent reality, but also "empty" of essence of its own. Specifically, it is a response to Sarvastiva...2020-11-1200 min

The author, Geshe Langri Thangpa, was a famous Kadampa teacher, who was also called, “the Serious One,” or “Gloomy Face.” Due to his compassionate focus on the suffering of living beings in samsara, he hardly ever smiled.
