Dwelling in the Heart of Reality
D2S1 - The Dzogchen Answer to Suffering
Lama Alan · Eva Natanya · 122 minutes · recorded January 1, 2020
Lama Alan Wallace gives the Dzogchen answer to why we suffer: we grasp at a body and mind that are neither I nor mine, and fail to recognise awareness that is already signless, boundless and all luminous. In the guided practice we rest in the awareness of being aware, eyes open, without identifying with whatever arises. Eva Natanya raises past lives as the elephant in the room, and is asked what becomes of those who lived before Christ if salvation is a one time offer.
