Sogyal Rinpoche on the Appearance and Essence of Mind

In this video, Sogyal Rinpoche explains that we are usually lost in the appearance of mind, our thoughts and emotions, instead of recognizing the essence or nature of mind. Essentially, we are turned in the wrong direction. This is the root of suffering and dissatisfaction. But by turning our attention to the essence of mind itself and learning how to simply be, we can find true contentment.

Erric - Thank you so much for providing this pithy teaching from Sogyal Rinpoche. It's still mind-blowing to me that we can find such teachings easily at our disposal through the internet! Web-surfing, not so cool. Dharma-surfing on the web, amazing!! Please feel free to share more snips of teachings by Rinpoche. Thanks and take care.
