The Liberation Stories of the Kagyu Masters – Day 6
Online Teaching from Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Centre, Nepal, 6 June 2020
The dharma is about showing us where we are mistaken, so we can remedy our mistakenness and become unmistaken.
What is our actual situation at the moment? We have the afflictions – desire, anger and so on. So the dharma teachings that work for us are those that points to these things. With these teaching we get something to work with, something to chew on.
When we are presented with the higher teachings, they have no connection to our actual experience, we may understand the words but the meaning is like a completely different language that we cannot comprehend. It’s like someone trying to explain to me how a computer works!
