Sky like nature vs ordinary mind
October 11th, 2010 at 2:29 pm (Meditation Practices)
Do you know the difference between your innate wisdom and your ordinary mind?
The true nature of the mind is often described as clear light. In the Tibetan Buddhist view, the clear light of mind is a thread of continuity that streams through life and continues on after death.
In the place of our ‘innate wisdom‘ our ‘Ordinary Mind’
- sky like nature the place of suffering
- it is the core of our being grasping-lonely-fearful-angry
- boundless-indestructable the ordinary you-superficial
- a good heart-infinitely loving confused habitual conditioning
- true nature of our being discursive mind
- free from suffering limited by habits and customary beliefs
- perceives things as they are attachment to comfort or pleasure
It always helps when I remember how they differ, in order to know my mind, my thoughts and actions in order to live my life most effective and true to my heart.
