Atisha's Mahamudra and The Seven Point Mind Training
D2S1 - View All Phenomena as Dreamlike
Lama Alan · 86 minutes · recorded January 1, 2022
Ultimate bodhicitta, and Atisha's aphorism that all phenomena are dreamlike. Lama Alan Wallace takes apart naive realism and metaphysical realism, arguing that colours, sounds and thoughts are nowhere in physical space and that quantum physics has already discredited the world we assumed was out there, with lucid dreaming as the working example. In the guided practice we observe the sixth domain, mental perception, then follow the Buddha's counsel that in the seen there be just the seen.
