The best part about Buddhism is that there is no separation between the Buddha and the other sentient beings. The fact that any and everyone of us has the power to become the Buddha is extremely encouraging and the paths that are laid out for one to reach that stage are clear and precise!
Emptiness is we are not independent of anything and all is constantly changing.
Emptiness is a hard concept to grasp but it is fundamentally important in understanding the true nature of consciousness as is scientifically accepted today. The Buddha was far ahead of his time when he came up with this, and it has helped me deeply in letting things go that bother me or make me sad.
The key to emptiness is simple but not easy.
If one draws a line then there is not emptiness.
But to experience emptiness, if one wishes to, one can put up a line and alternate from side to side, as well as "being on both sides of the line".
One can also put up a circle or square and alternate "being inside and outside".
Do you mean to say, look at things objectively?
@@WaywardTexan Yes but sort of as a ghost without a body. For example, look at the back of your head and the ceiling at the same time.
"Shunyata" is inter - connectedness .
Just brilliant explanation. 👏👏👏
Beautifully explained.Who is greedy? Need to practice meditation to reach emptiness by dropping all negativity.
Thank you!
Your holiness. I do research on Vajrayana Buddhism in Bihar. You should visit Kajra in Lakhisarai District of Bihar. Kajra has been mispronounced in various ways by different ancient Tibetansn. Kajra was mispronounced as Kagyu, Kajra was mispronounced as Jagora in the Tilopa story, and Chakthani as Chativavo, In the Vajravarahi story Kajra is mispronounced as the pure land of Kijila, in the Shambhala story Kajra is mispronounced as Kalapa, and the Jhana river was mispronounced as Jonang school of thought. Kajra has several dakinis as deities, and next to Kajra is Narottimpur village where Naropa stayed when he was northern gate of Vikramshila. Kajra is the victory band around Atisha's palace, and near Kajra are two villages with Tibetan names. They are Marpa Khurd and Marpa Kalan in the name of and incient Tibetan called Marpa. Next to Kajra is the Kalchakra stupa where the Buddha imparted the Kalchakra teachings. And next to the stupa is a huge mud mound which has the three dimensional Kalchakra Mandala. The lovely part the area around the Kalchakra Mandala is in Atisas name. Your holiness, you should visit Kajra in your life. Because the concept of the Dalai Lama being an incarnation of Avalokiteshwar started on the Potala hill which is just behind Kajra town. Close to Kajra are Urain mispronounced as Urgain in the Tibetan seven line prayer. Northwest of Urain is Dhanari lake which Tibetans call Lake Dhanakosha. Southwest of Dhanari lake is Sahur again mispronounced as Zahor by Tibetans. Sahur/Zahor has a dakini temple who undoubtedly is Mandarva. Please view the video, ‘Padmasambhava’s life in India. (2)’.
I feel I have all the qualities to become a Buddhist, I have always wanted to practice.I have always tried to be a good, helpful, caring person and find the world a very difficult place . I care too much for people and do not know how to distance myself , so I hide from human. I guess I have the qualities but not the wisdom.I went to Bangkok temples but found it all too commercial, was I in the wrong place.
Robina quotes the Dalai Lama on being asked how to practice emptiness practically in daily life... he said "start simply by seeing things from a different point of view." 🤔
Why must I, strive to find enlightenment for the sake of other beings ?
This was a different chapter for me to understand….
Der deutsche Untertext passt nicht. Er gehört zum 13. Video! Ansonsten herzlichen ❤

But who is the witness that dispels ignorance? How can Buddhists not get that it is Atman.
The Buddha taught Anatman, no inherently existing. He was well versed in Hinduism.
We can't find, v can't pinpoint the real person there... This leads to emptyness.
U can't pinpoint the independent self.
There is no 'I'. V hve to realize that it's all delusions and karma. The real self doesn't exist in any of us. It's just the embodiment of our desires and it's effects. If we have this understanding then the wisdom dawns upon us and then it leads to emptyness.. Just emptyness...
