“Rest in the Nature of the Alaya“. The 5th verse of Lojong explores what it means to rest the mind in meditation. There is more to meditation than just relaxing or quieting our thoughts. Lojong considers how thoughts, feelings, and even consciousness are free of any fixed existence. What is left when we don’t find any solid, single, or permanent entity to hold onto? Through the direct experience of our uncontrived awareness we discover who we are without any elaboration. Theme music by Matt Quentin
