Mind Nature, Mind States and Me (Link #560)
from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students
Speaker: Jim Hoepfinger. Jim relates how extensive practice cultivated his insight into the nature of mind and the illusory nature of ego and mind states. Extended periods of meditation gave rise to the direct realization that mind states are transitory and can't be mistaken for the "I." Searching for the "I" gave rise to the realization that there is nothing permanent, solid, or independent to be found. The resulting state of groundlessness gave rise to devotion, appreciation of the blessings of the lineage, the connection to the guru and bodhicitta.
