Buddhanature vs. Schmuckness (Link #815)
from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link Hosted by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students
Speaker: Joseph Waxman. Joey unpacks a poignant talk given by Rinpoche at the 2015 Nyingma Summer Seminar. The talk centered on obscurations that veil our true nature. These include emotional obscurations such as attachment, aggression and jealousy, cognitive obscurations such as grasping at phenomena as real, and habitual obscurations such as the self-perpetuating momentum of delusion. That said, Rinpoche's talk specifically delved into one key obscuration to penetrate, which is feeling like a schmuck. Joey explores this and another vital point of this teaching wherein Rinpoche said, "Buddhanature taking precedence over ‘schmuckness’ is the path of Buddhism".
