The Illumination of Primordial Wisdom
Illumination of Primordial Wisdom, Question and Answer Sessions, Session 1
Lama Alan · 71 minutes · recorded January 1, 2021
An hour of written questions from 300 participants. Lama Alan Wallace separates the substrate consciousness, individuated and conditioned, from primordial consciousness, and calls shamatha in an active daily way of life and shamatha in retreat complementary, each the preparation for the other. On choosing a teacher: are the teachings compatible with the gold standard, is the conduct in harmony with them, do you find them beneficial? On the red HUM at the heart, go gently and let it come to you.
