- 6:30it.
- 6:30Before
- 6:31at
- 6:31some
- 6:32point
- 6:32the
- 6:32heart
- 6:33thing
- 6:33became
- 6:34active
- 6:35longing
- 6:35and
- 6:36whatever.
- 6:36And
- 6:36I
- 6:37didn't

- 6:37it
- 6:37was
- 6:37longing
- 6:38for

- 6:39Because

- 6:45But
- 6:45then
- 6:46the
- 6:46heart
- 6:46process
- 6:47began.
- 6:48And
- 6:49basically
- 6:50Took
- 6:50me
- 6:51to
- 6:51experiencing
- 6:52that
- 6:52realm,
- 6:53that
- 6:53vastness,
- 6:55that
- 6:55beautiful
- 6:56vastness
- 6:57through
- 6:57the
- 6:58heart.
- 6:58Which
- 6:59like,
- 6:59the
- 6:59heart
- 6:59became
- 7:00like
- 7:00an
- 7:00organ
- 7:00of
- 7:01perception
- 7:02where
- 7:02things
- 7:03were

- 7:04And
- 7:06this

- 7:12But
- 7:13what
- 7:13was
- 7:13happening
- 7:14was
- 7:14beyond
- 7:14those
- 7:14things,
- 7:15beyond
- 7:15the
- 7:16feeling
- 7:16and
- 7:16longing.
- 7:17I

- 7:27be
- 7:28that
- 7:28vastness,
- 7:30but
- 7:30it
- 7:30appeared.
- 7:31When
- 7:31it
- 7:31appeared,
- 7:32the
- 7:32heart
- 7:32was
- 7:32different.
- 7:34It
- 7:34had

- 13:50a
- 13:50consistent
- 13:51experience
- 13:52for
- 13:52myself.
- 13:53Going

- 14:07That's
- 14:08the
- 14:09poverty,
- 14:09the
- 14:09inner
- 14:10poverty
- 14:10that
- 14:11talks

- 14:12poverty
- 14:12and
- 14:12the
- 14:13poverty
- 14:13of
- 14:13the
- 14:13soul.
- 14:14And
- 14:14that's
- 14:14conditioned
- 14:15poverty.
- 14:15We
- 14:15go
- 14:15through
- 14:16it,
- 14:16which
- 14:16means
- 14:16the
- 14:17soul
- 14:17doesn't
- 14:17have
- 14:17anything
- 14:18of
- 14:18its
- 14:18own.
- 14:19That
- 14:20classic
- 14:21child,
- 14:22for
- 14:23instance,
- 14:23he
- 14:23talks
- 14:23about
- 14:24that.
- 14:24So.
- 14:25And
- 14:25then
- 14:25there
- 14:25is
- 14:25the
- 14:26poverty
- 14:26of
- 14:26the
- 14:26heart.
- 14:27Experience
- 14:27that
- 14:27through
- 14:27the
- 14:28heart.
- 14:29But
- 14:29then
- 14:29we
- 14:30go
- 14:30through
- 14:30that.
- 14:31And
- 14:31then
- 14:32as
- 14:32the
- 14:33inner
- 14:33beloved
- 14:34begin
- 14:34to
- 14:34shine
- 14:35through.
- 14:35It
- 14:36is
- 14:36radiant
- 14:36and
- 14:37all
- 14:37that.
- 14:37But
- 14:37it
- 14:38is
- 14:38a
- 14:38radiant
- 14:38nothing
- 14:39painted
- 14:40emptiness.
- 14:40And
- 14:40is
- 14:41so
- 14:41empty
- 14:43that
- 14:44it
- 14:44defies
- 14:45any
- 14:47understanding
- 14:48what
- 14:48empty
- 14:48can
- 14:48be.
- 14:49Because
- 14:49it's
- 14:50emptiness
- 14:50is
- 14:51always
- 14:51like
- 14:51something
- 14:51is
- 14:52empty,
- 14:52you
- 14:53know,
- 14:53like
- 14:53a
- 14:53vacuity.
- 14:54At
- 14:55least
- 14:56spaciousness,
- 14:57you
- 14:57know,
- 14:57like
- 14:58space.
- 14:58This
- 14:59one
- 14:59is
- 15:00even
- 15:00the
- 15:00elimination
- 15:01space.
- 15:02There's
- 15:02no
- 15:02container.
- 15:03It's
- 15:03just
- 15:04emptiness.
- 15:05Yeah,
- 15:05it's
- 15:06not
- 15:06only
- 15:06no
- 15:06container,
- 15:07it's
- 15:07no
- 15:07container.
- 15:08Yes,
- 15:08but
- 15:09you
- 15:09know,
- 15:10outer
- 15:10space,
- 15:11you
- 15:11could
- 15:11say,
- 15:11has
- 15:11no
- 15:12container,
- 15:13goes
- 15:13on
- 15:13forever.
- 15:14It
- 15:14feels
- 15:15that
- 15:15way.
- 15:15However,
- 15:16it's
- 15:16more
- 15:17empty
- 15:17than
- 15:17that.
- 15:18Meaning
- 15:19it
- 15:19doesn't
- 15:19feel
- 15:20like
- 15:20it
- 15:20is
- 15:20something.
- 15:21All
- 15:21state
- 15:22of
- 15:22being
- 15:22usually
- 15:23experienced
- 15:24as
- 15:24a
- 15:24consciousness
- 15:25or
- 15:25as
- 15:25awareness
- 15:26or
- 15:27here
- 15:27it
- 15:28is
- 15:28no

- 15:44darkness.
- 15:46You

- 16:05Everything

- 16:12is
- 16:12an
- 16:13odd,
- 16:13illogical

- 29:14about,
- 29:15you
- 29:15know,
- 29:15being

- 29:17There's

- 30:00And
- 30:01Krishnamurti
- 30:01is
- 30:02a
- 30:02good
- 30:02paradox
- 30:03that
- 30:03way.
- 30:04He's
- 30:04full
- 30:04of
- 30:05contradiction.
- 30:05The

- 31:10which
- 31:10can
- 31:10guide
- 31:11our
- 31:11inquiry,
- 31:12but
- 31:13in
- 31:13a
- 31:13way
- 31:14in
- 31:14which
- 31:14the
- 31:14mind
- 31:15serves
- 31:16the
- 31:16heart
- 31:17and
- 31:17its
- 31:17realization.
- 31:18Yeah,
- 31:19very,
- 31:19very
- 31:20good
- 31:20point.
- 31:21Rather,
- 31:22this
- 31:22remind
- 31:22me
- 31:23of
- 31:24the
- 31:24Tibetan
- 31:25Buddhas.
- 31:25One
- 31:26of
- 31:26the
- 31:26main
- 31:26bodhisattvs
- 31:27for
- 31:27Manjushti
- 31:29was
- 31:29the
- 31:29sword
- 31:29of
- 31:30discernment,
- 31:31right?
- 31:33And
- 31:34Manjushri
- 31:35is
- 31:35basically
- 31:36embodiment
- 31:37of
- 31:37the
- 31:37real
- 31:37mind,
- 31:37true
- 31:38mind,
- 31:39but
- 31:39it
- 31:39is
- 31:40expressing
- 31:40emptiness.
- 31:41Because
- 31:42Buddhism
- 31:42is
- 31:43all
- 31:43about
- 31:43emptiness,
- 31:43about
- 31:44nothing
- 31:44there,
- 31:45about
- 31:45non
- 31:46being.
- 31:46But
- 31:46this
- 31:46non
- 31:47being
- 31:47wields
- 31:48the
- 31:48source
- 31:48of
- 31:49the
- 31:49sword
- 31:50of
- 31:51discriminating
- 31:51wisdom.
- 31:53So
- 31:54there
- 31:54is
- 31:54a
- 31:55real
- 31:55mind
- 31:55in
- 31:56the
- 31:56sense?
- 31:56Well,
- 31:56I
- 31:57mean,
- 31:57mind
- 31:58can
- 31:58be
- 31:58seen
- 31:59as
- 31:59conditioned,
- 32:00habitual
- 32:01or
- 32:01liberated.
- 32:03Conditioned
- 32:03and
- 32:03habitual.
- 32:04It
- 32:04is
- 32:04what
- 32:05most
- 32:05people
- 32:05call
- 32:05mind,
- 32:06thinking
- 32:07and
- 32:07using
- 32:08concepts
- 32:08and
- 32:09memories
- 32:09and
- 32:09belief
- 32:10and
- 32:10ideas
- 32:11and,
- 32:12you
- 32:12know,
- 32:13and
- 32:13that
- 32:14the
- 32:14usual
- 32:14mind,
- 32:15useful
- 32:16for
- 32:16doing
- 32:17good
- 32:17taxes
- 32:17and
- 32:18driving,
- 32:19stuff
- 32:19like
- 32:19that,
- 32:20you
- 32:20know.
- 32:20However,
- 32:21it
- 32:21is
- 32:21not
- 32:21useful
- 32:22in
- 32:22terms
- 32:22going
- 32:23deeper
- 32:23into
- 32:24yourself.
- 32:25You
- 32:25need
- 32:26to
- 32:26be
- 32:27liberated
- 32:28from
- 32:28that
- 32:28mind.
- 32:28Because
- 32:29like
- 32:30Krishnamun,
- 32:30others
- 32:31say
- 32:31the
- 32:31mind
- 32:31is
- 32:31a
- 32:31problem.
- 32:32It's
- 32:32not
- 32:32mind
- 32:32that's
- 32:33the
- 32:33issue
- 32:33that's
- 32:34in
- 32:34the
- 32:34way.
- 32:35However,
- 32:35that
- 32:36doesn't
- 32:36mean
- 32:36there's
- 32:36no
- 32:37other
- 32:37mind.
- 32:37The
- 32:38deeper
- 32:38mind
- 32:39is
- 32:39a
- 32:40mind
- 32:40of
- 32:40illuminated
- 32:41mind.
- 32:42That's
- 32:42right,
- 32:43yeah.
- 32:46When
- 32:46the
- 32:46mind
- 32:47liberates
- 32:48from
- 32:48its
- 32:48conditioning
- 32:49and
- 32:49its
- 32:49belief
- 32:50and
- 32:50works
- 32:51from
- 32:52its
- 32:52own
- 32:53intrinsic
- 32:53truth,
- 32:55it
- 32:55is
- 32:55illuminating,
- 32:57clarifying,
- 32:59and
- 32:59cut
- 33:00through.
- 33:01It's
- 33:02not
- 33:02what
- 33:02you
- 33:02use
- 33:02to
- 33:02cut
- 33:03through
- 33:03illusion.
- 33:04So
- 33:04that's
- 33:04why
- 33:05I
- 33:05say,
- 33:05like
- 33:05Krishnamurti
- 33:06had
- 33:06a
- 33:06very
- 33:06clear,
- 33:07crisp
- 33:07mind,
- 33:09you
- 33:09know,
- 33:10although
- 33:10he
- 33:10was
- 33:11against
- 33:11mind.
- 33:13And
- 33:13of
- 33:13course,
- 33:13Ventushri
- 33:14is
- 33:14the
- 33:15greatest
- 33:15example
- 33:16in
- 33:16the
- 33:17Buddhist
- 33:18literature
- 33:19about
- 33:21the
- 33:21necessity.
- 33:22You
- 33:22see,
- 33:22the
- 33:23Tibetan
- 33:23tradition
- 33:24or
- 33:24the
- 33:24Vajraya
- 33:25tradition,
- 33:26they
- 33:26have
- 33:26the
- 33:26three
- 33:27major
- 33:27Bodhisattvas,
- 33:29Avalakachvara,
- 33:31Manjushri
- 33:32and
- 33:32Vajrapani
- 33:35is
- 33:35the
- 33:35goddess
- 33:36of
- 33:36the
- 33:37heart
- 33:37of
- 33:38compassion,
- 33:39goodness
- 33:40and
- 33:40kindness,
- 33:41which
- 33:41is
- 33:42needed
- 33:42for
- 33:43the
- 33:43practice.
- 33:43Vajrapani
- 33:45in
- 33:46Bodhisattva
- 33:47of
- 33:48strength
- 33:49and
- 33:49power
- 33:50and
- 33:50capacity
- 33:51to
- 33:52deal
- 33:52with
- 33:53the
- 33:53difficulties.
- 33:54And
- 33:54usually
- 33:55Bodhisattva
- 33:56on
- 33:56the
- 33:56mind,
- 33:57the
- 33:57one
- 33:58with
- 33:58the
- 33:58sword
- 33:59like
- 33:59clarity
- 34:00and
- 34:01crispness.
- 34:02So
- 34:02there
- 34:02is
- 34:03a
- 34:03real
- 34:03mind
- 34:04that
- 34:04can
- 34:04emerge,
- 34:05but
- 34:05it
- 34:06emerges
- 34:06out
- 34:07of
- 34:07the
- 34:07emptiness
- 34:07of
- 34:08the
- 34:08beloved.
- 34:09It
- 34:09is
- 34:09exterior
- 34:11to
- 34:11the
- 34:11inner
- 34:12beloved.
- 34:13Exterior.
- 34:14And
- 34:14it
- 34:14is
- 34:15a
- 34:15capacity
- 34:16the
- 34:16inner
- 34:17beloved
- 34:17makes
- 34:17possible.
- 34:19However,
- 34:20it
- 34:20makes
- 34:20possible
- 34:21only
- 34:21through
- 34:22the
- 34:22human
- 34:23soul.
- 34:25There
- 34:25is
- 34:25no
- 34:26cutting
- 34:27through
- 34:27mind
- 34:27without

- 34:28individual
- 34:29who's
- 34:29going
- 34:29to
- 34:29do
- 34:29it.
- 34:32God
- 34:33doesn't
- 34:33cut
- 34:33through
- 34:33anything.
- 34:36Probably
- 34:37doesn't
