Episode notes
Two Types of Non-Duality
- Different types of non-duality exist, such as non-duality between subject-object and emptiness-form.
- Each points to distinct experiences ranging from self-other dissolution to the profound recognition of rigpa.
Rigpa as Transparent Aliveness
- The experience of rigpa is a direct, vibrant engagement with the non-solid, transparent nature of phenomena.
- It reveals constant movement and freshness at the root of experience, beyond conceptual thought.
Effort vs. Effortlessness in Practice
- Tantra involves effortful practice towards recognizing emptiness and presence.
- Dzogchen emphasizes effortless awareness, reshaping the notion of agency to spacious freedom without classical control.
