20191205 0900 LZR Kopan - Different ways to do walking meditation.Seeing everything as illusion 1|2 Rinpoche began the teaching by reminding us to pay attention to not only become free from samsara but to actualize the path, to achieve the Mahayana path, to cease even the subtle defilements and achieve enlightenment for all sentient beings. This is the largest project, biggest goal in our life. By paying attention when you recite lamrim prayers then it plants the seed of the path to enlightenment in your mind. Rinpoche then gave commentary on a few verses on the benefits of bodhichitta, how important it is in your life. Rinpoche gave oral transmissions of Namgyalma mantra, mantra from Sutra of Great Liberation and mantra of Stainless Lotus Pinnacle. Rinpoche then spoke about the benefits of Stainless Lotus Pinnacle mantra. Rinpoche explained how to think when you go out to lunch, to see that everything is like a dream, what appears real, is a projection, a creation of delusion and ignorance. The ignorance holding the I as real, holding everything as real, I action, object, it is all a projection, creation of delusion, ignorance. You can also do this meditation when going on pilgrimage, shopping or going to the beach, seeing the water as appearing real one, naked people appearing real one, decoration projected, with this mindfulness you walk around. One way is looking it as a hallucination, that which is a hallucination. Another meditation is looking at it as all empty, I action, object. Another meditation is seeing it as “merely labeled” merely labelled I, merely labeled walking, merely labelled people, merely labelled beach, Kopan. This is mindfulness on subtle dependent arising. Also, you can do mindfulness with bodhichitta, with compassion, thinking the kindness of sentient beings. Rinpoche gave commentary on a few verses on emptiness, that explained how everything is empty, hallucinated appearance and look at it as empty. Our whole life has been cheated by the hallucination and then grasping to the illusory appearance.
