Jampal Norbu examines the fifth verse of Lojong: "Rest in the Nature of the Alaya". This verse explores what it means to rest the mind in meditation and the open-dimensionality of shunyata. There is more to meditation than just relaxing the mind or quieting our thoughts. Lojong mind training 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.
