Bringing Problems To Light

Meditation is the light of awareness, of seeing clearly without distractions. We can do this in a moment.

When we dwell in beliefs and assumptions, we dwell in the dark, and that is the problem. We are constantly relating. The light is the clarity of awareness. When this is realised, and we have dropped all assumptions, pure light, pure awareness is revealed as being what we are.

Light: from indo-european root, shared with ‘lung’.
Lung: an open space in a town or city, where people can breathe fresher air. 😀

‘Lung’ in Tibetan means wind or breath.
Lung is key to the Vajrayana traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, and is particularly important to understand the illusory body and the trikaya (body, speech and mind).

We are nothing but light, pure breath, ethereal awareness.
When this awareness identifies with an idea of self,
that reification is the cause of our problems.

Reify: make concrete or real.
