Master Longchenpas Heart Advice

Master Longchenpa’s heart advice is simple yet profound; that everything we perceive is our mind’s projection, and thus delusion, that everything we experience is in flux, temporary and not solidly real, and thus illusion, and that the path forward is one of letting go, lightening up, being less heavy and serious, more easy come, easy go…about it ALL. This is the path of peace, and pristine purity, the direct path to complete and perfect enlightenment. In other words, it doesn’t get more clear and simple helpful and direct than this. And yet, as clear and simple as it is, I am sure the vast majority of people would not find it satisfying, would not find it attractive, would not find it offers enough. You cannot fix samsara! Yet that is what samsaric beings are bound to do; samsara itself being the effect of their desire to improve their lot in Life the pristine nature of their mind the mirror-like nature of their experience. Well then, welcome to samsara. (4/22/23)
