Description

Walking for exercise, sightseeing, or shopping, can all be used to meditate on impermanence and emptiness. Here Rinpoche offers guided meditations on how, in particular, to think about emptiness, to habituate our mind in a positive way to looking at everything that appears to be real as false. While walking, we can meditate on emptiness in three ways: By seeing the hallucination as a hallucination, by looking at everything we encounter including ourselves as merely labeled, and by looking at everything as empty. These meditations free us from the oceans of unimaginable sufferings of samsara forever in order to help all sentient beings become free from these sufferings as well. The teaching for this episode was recorded on December 13, 2018, at Kopan Monastery, Nepal.

The lamrim is a textual tradition that organizes Shakyamuni Buddha’s teachings into a complete step-by-step path to enlightenment.
