Opening the Door to Emptiness (Link #59)




Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link show

Summary: When we hear about the emptiness things, we might visualize that emptiness is like a hologram, having form but no substance. However, nothing we think of can actually prepare us for what the real experience of emptiness is like in life. The way our conventional mind works cannot grasp it. Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche describes the sunyata or emptiness experience as "a state where things fade out (stet) and future possibilities have not arisen." It also can be experienced as not knowing what to do.
