A Teaching by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche

Two teachings sessions across one day.

Session 1 : 9.30am - 11.30am

Session 2: 2pm - 4pm

Thoughts are dynamic and expressive rather than inert, solid or material.  The point of meditation is to recognise this, not to find out what mental causes gave rise to mental states. So, the idea is to understand the nature of discursive thoughts themselves.

The insight gained through this kind of investigation is not concerned with WHY we have certain thoughts, it is recognizing that those thoughts in themselves have no enduring essence. Freedom from the pervasive aspects of suffering really comes about by understanding this. 

You can attend this talk in person or via Zoom.
