Greetings!
I just finished previewing the video teaching for tomorrow night and, BOY! Are we in for a treat. Buddha said: "Oh, children of the Victorious Ones,
all three realms are mind only."
It is from that place that we take our departure into a study of the Chittamatra / Yogacara / Mind-Only stage of meditation on emptiness. We'll study how things appear, the consciousnesses, and the mechanics of karma and its dissolution. "The appearances of karma and habitual tendencies arise due to fixating on a self, which is ignorance. If we remove the clinging to a self, there is no way karma can accumulate."
It's a don't-miss for sure. 7:00 Friday, my house. If you miss it, come to make-up night on Monday, 7 p.m., but send me an email to let me know you're coming so I know what to expect. And try out my brand new Westminster-chime doorbell! Front or back, now I can hear you whenever you come calling. |
