When we understand that all being is merely emptiness cloaked in material phenomenon then we begin to see for the first time.  Seeing through is the essence of true understanding that allows us to welcome and appreciate all that comes to us. This perspective is not merely passive, but rather requires a quality of intelligence and perseverance for its cultivation and maturation. Question and answer topics include relative versus absolute practice, incorporating visual imagery, discomfort in practice, and awareness within dualism.
