All that appears and
exists, all of samsara and nirvana, has one ground, two paths and two results.
The connate
ignorance is a distracted, mindless cognition.
The labeling ignorance is holding self and other to be two. The two
ignorances, connate and labeling, are the ground of the confusion of all
beings.
From the emergence
of subtle clinging coarse habit gradually develops.
Beings are tormented
by attachment to the pleasant.
Through the
emergence of a subtle, fearful cognition of externally-apparent objects the
habit of aversion grows, coarse enmity, beating, and killing are born.
Even if you don't
have complete faith and trust, it is important to have some sense of openness
to the possibility.
The manifestations
we experience as outside appearance are a simple manifestation of luminous
mind. This luminosity, the clarity
nature of our mind, gets to a point of intensity. When we don't recognize that intensity as the
clarity of mind, it is projected outside and duality begins.
Buddhas manifest in
accordance with the situation. They
manifest in whatever way they can in order to tame the suffering of sentient
beings.
Connate ignorance is
actually the nature of not recognizing.
Unclarity is the
nature of doubt.
If you conquer just
one enemy, your aggression, it is like conquering all the objects of this
anger.
The main thing that
we need to learn is how to be in whatever state we are in.
The main problem of
jealousy is lack of appreciation.
