A Mind Like Space

The more insight we have access to, and the more we have cultivated beautiful qualities of the citta, the more malleable perception can be for us with practice.

The more we practise inclining the mind to notice space, the easier it becomes to actually open up some space in the perception and experience some relief.

The way of a bodhisattva is a way of internal clarity, a clarity that expresses itself in compassion and enables us to bring all our skills and capabilities to the challenges life presents. When we have the capacity to experience whatever life brings to us, we are not thrown into turmoil by our own reactions. If we can experience the joys, tribulat

matter. By becoming aware of the empty space around you, you simultaneously become aware of the space of no-mind, of pure consciousness: the Unmanifested. This is how the contemplation of space can become a portal for you.

To the heart is revealed a sense of beauty in the open, space-like nature of things. More able to shift ways of looking, less locked into any perspective, it wants to see the emptiness. Gradually conviction builds, based firmly on our experience.
