Regard All Phenomena as Dreams and Examine the Nature of Unborn Awareness (2019)

August 18, 2019

In this Dharma talk, Fred Eppsteiner discusses the unconditioned mind with slogans from "The Great Path of Awakening". The first slogan discussed was "Regard all phenomena as dreams." Although our experiences seem real, they are actually as impermanent as a dream. The second slogan discussed was "Examine the nature of unborn awareness." If everything is arising from the mind, what is the nature of the mind? Fundamental awareness is not all the things that you think about, it is the one that sees. That awareness is quiet, at ease, open, and unconstricted. These qualities are always available if we turn to that which is aware.
