The Nature of the Mind
Tibetan Buddhist nun Ven. Tenzin Palmo describes how the infinite, primordial awareness that lies behind the mind and its sense of duality is the key to experiencing oneness.
At the age of 20, Ven. Tenzin Palmo left her home in
London for India to pursue her spiritual path. There she met her guru,
His Eminence the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche, and became one of the first
Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. In 1976, seeking
more seclusion and better conditions for practice, she found a cave in
the Himalayan Valley of Lahaul, where she lived for 12 years, the last
three in strict retreat. In 2000, she founded the Dongyu Gatsal Ling
Nunnery to give young nuns of the Drukpa Kagyu Lineage the opportunity
to realize their intellectual and spiritual potential.

Thank you. I was able to visualize the mind as thought, feelings, emotions, time, duality, perception, prejudices, concepts, memory and anticipation that the MIND believes is ME. I wrote it down and put a circle around it. And imagined the quality of knowing, clarity and empty spaciousness around it. The mind is limited in the bubble- and is not enough to serve. Namaste.
