Part Four - What a Thought Is, and Choosing a Teacher
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo · 133 minutes · recorded January 1, 2016
Two ways of working with the mind, the controlling one and the letting go one, and why a wild horse has to be tamed before it can be trained. Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo explains that meditation is not blanking out but asking what a thought is and who is aware, sets out the eight consciousnesses of the mind-only school, and shows how generosity without wisdom stays bound by subject, action and object. A long section follows on choosing a teacher, and on not postponing practice while waiting for one.
