SHUNYATA, EMPTY, PURE, UNCONTAMINATED CONSCIOUSNESS
Shunyata, Emptiness, Pure, Uncontaminated Consciousness It doesn’t matter what word we use, it is direct spontaneous experience, before the mind starts identifying. We can become hung up on words, and that is precisely Mara’s trick – it’s the dark side … Continue reading
THE BACKBONE OF THE BUDDHA’S TEACHING
The Backbone Of The Buddha’s Teaching Seeing and the seen are inseparable. Whatever is seen is only seen by virtue of just seeing. Just seeing is pure consciousness; it’s our original reality. Once realised, whatever is seen is a spontaneous … Continue reading
IN AND OUT OF NOW
In And Out Of Now Now is always present, whether we notice it or not Tulku Urgyen’s phrase describes the moment now as “spontaneous presence”. but what is spontaneous presence in actuality? We can say words such as Dzogchen, Mahamudra, … Continue reading
DZOGCHEN, MAHAMUDRA, SHUNYATA, DHARMAKAYA, ADVAITA … ?
Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Shunyata, Dharmakaya, Advaita … ? These are either attractive and mystical-sounding words, or they represent most ordinary aspect of reality in the infinite universe.

THE ILLUSORY NATURE OF EMPTINESS
The Illusory Nature of Emptiness Merely saying, “It is emptiness”, isn’t emptiness. We have to resolve this for ourselves, through direct experience. But who is doing the resolving? The word ’emptiness’ isn’t satisfactory for describing our pure essential nature. If we call it ‘shunyata’ … Continue reading
THE DHARMA IS NOT OVER THERE
The Dharma Is Not Over There It is funny how, during practice, some insight may occur, usually as a subtle change in understanding. Take the words Ground, Path and Fruition. They are referred to as: Ground = our true nature … Continue reading
EXPERIENCE AND STILLNESS IS AWARENESS AND EMPTINESS
Experience and Stillness is Awareness and Emptiness “Two birds sat in the self-same tree:one pecked of the fruitwhile the other sat and watched.”(the two truths) From the highest point of view, we (as empty essence) use experience/awareness, to enjoy and … Continue reading

TOO MUCH TALK ABOUT PURE AWARENESS!
Too much talk about pure awareness! This is because pure awareness is all there is! Precisely because we become more and more familiar with pure awareness, we experience in a different way, as our obscurations naturally drop away. We become … Continue reading
THE BUDDHA WITHIN ‘ME’
The Buddha within ‘me’. I am a Dharma student, who wishes to share experiences as they come along. At each step on the path, perception changes: we may use the same words, but the meaning refines. It is an ongoing … Continue reading
UNDERSTANDING, RECOGNISING AND RESTING
Understanding, Recognising and Resting. Understanding is knowing. Recognising is awareness. Resting is Shunyata (emptiness). No doing is involved. Merely understand, recognise and rest. In other words, look, see, drop! The pointing out instruction. Understanding is knowing the nature of whatever … Continue reading
BEING AWARE
Being Aware. Our being is aware. The method to know this is: to be aware of awareness, and drop all speculation. At that moment of recognition, there is just awareness, pure awareness. There is no me, being aware: there is … Continue reading
