Discovering Buddhism - The Wisdom of Emptiness

Ven. Lobsang Chokyi

The wisdom of emptiness is the ultimate teaching in Buddhism; its main point is that our ignorance is based on our mistaken perception of the true nature of reality. The teachings on emptiness are profound,and deeply transforming, yet with correct understanding, we can shift our experience of the world. Wisdom conjoined with compassion, generates a new relationship with our inner and outer spiritual journey. In this course, we begin to explore these ideas through meditation, understanding the process of attaining the wisdom understanding emptiness (including learning some of the meditation techniques used to directly perceive emptiness) and practice some of the purification techniques to clear the obstacles to realization of emptiness. NOTE: There was a technical issue recording the 5/5 class, so that recording is shorter than usual.
