Re: Gorampa & Tsongkhapa

So... My question is: what does all this mean at the level of practice? Does it have some profound effect?

Re: Three Steps Insight Meditation

if this is still of interest and for what it s worth, my understanding: it is a gradual approach to the view free of all extremes. and it is important to understand that it is a meditative process, not an intellectual exercice. intellectually one can (quite) quickly establish emptiness, but the medi...
