Tsoknyi Rinpoche: Tsoknyi Rinpoche: 08-25-2013: Dzogchen and Zen (Part 6)




Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast show

Summary: Episode Description: In this session Tsoknyi Rinpoche discusses liberation within the framework of practice that he has described over the course of the retreat. He suggests that liberation will occur automatically once we touch the inner space having practiced without cultivation or contrivance. Liberation will occur very slowly, the duration of the natural mind or rigpa grows by itself. Through practicing "in and out" over and over, hundreds of thousands, millions of times, liberation will occur. Rinpoche goes on to discuss three types of liberation: "liberation upon arising," "self liberation" and "liberation without benefit and without harm." He also notes that "wisdom and kleshas are the same door." That they share the same ground of space and that we must face all different kinds of experience and phenomena but not cling to it.
