The Illumination of Primordial Wisdom
D5S1 - Apprehending the Apprehender
Lama Alan · 124 minutes · recorded January 1, 2021
The morning opens with Atisha's line on examining the character of unborn awareness, and Lama Alan Wallace draws out its consequence, that there was never a point at which we became sentient beings. Gyatrul Rinpoche's commentary separates apprehending the mind from apprehending the apprehender, a search that ends not in failure but in seeing one's own face directly. A one minute experiment identifies the interim between two thoughts, not other than rigpa.
