Dharma Teachings by Lama Mark Webber

S009E01 Contemplating The Nature Of Illusion — Class 1


Listen Later

The opening class lays the ground before any analysis of illusion: a foundation of loving-kindness and a clear reason for practicing at all, without which the insight work "goes sour." It previews the twelve classic examples of illusion to come, and sets out the thesis that runs through the whole series - that depth of insight into emptiness and breadth of compassion grow together.
In this series of teaching, Lama Mark Webber is giving instruction on the nature of illusion. He is using a number of classic images like the moon in the water, a mirage, dream and others.
