Life Cycles at InfinitEarth

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.
