Dream Like Emptiness

~ the True Nature of our Reality pt 2

Je Tsongkhapa was said to have laughed for a week when he realised emptiness.
Such is the power of this wisdom, that even a glimpse of it lightens our mind.

Imagine how completely blissful it would be if we knew the dream wasn’t even real (✿◠‿◠)

“Emptiness and bliss in fact go together very well, like water mixed with water, enhancing each other in a virtuous spiral.“

Kadampa Life “Where is that sound coming from?“

 

“Buddha said ‘you should know that all phenomena are like dreams”.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Modern Buddhism

Nagarjuna

“Nagarjuna was a great Indian Buddhist scholar and meditation master who devoted himself entirely to reviving the Mahayana Dharma in the first century AD and who brought to light the teachings on the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras.
Nagarjuna’s extraordinary life and works were prophesied by Buddha Shakyamuni. For his life story, see the book Ocean of Nectar.”

 ❖ Continued from:
pt 1, Cosmic Loti:  Dream Like Emptiness ~ the True Nature of our Reality
None of this could exist without our mind perceiving it. It’s all empty of independent existence, a state known as ‘emptiness’.

❖ Continued in:
pt 3, Cosmic Loti: Dream a Better World
Dream lands and the waking world are experientially the same. That’s why they both feel equally real, and that’s why we can influence them far more than we give ourselves credit for.

pt 4, Kadampa Life: Am I Dreaming?
Buddha’s teachings reveal the truth that everything is like a dream.
