PRAJNA SPARKS

Third of a four part series on the Four Hallmarks of the Buddha's teachings, this episode explores emptiness and nonself in our immediate experience, through the dynamic practice of Meditative Inquiry.

A vital element of healing and transforming in Tibetan Buddhist practice, meditative inquiry is also the heart of the Buddha's contemplative technology for cultivating view progressively, all the way to transcending views altogether.

Meditative inquiry fosters self-knowledge, confidence in mind’s intrinsic resources, and exquisite responsiveness to our inner landscape. It can help unearth and reevaluate assumptions about our underlying emotional patterns. 

A vital element of healing and transforming in Tibetan Buddhist practice, it is also the heart of the Buddha's contemplative technology for cultivating view progressively, all the way to transcending views altogether.
