Lama Surya Das – Ep. 26 – Effortless Effort

Effortless Effort

With practice, we can move through life with effortless effort.

Surya Das touches on the natural and relaxed qualities of Dzogchen meditation, and answers questions on a variety of topics including decision making, balancing the meditative and contemplative mind, emptiness within awareness, sky gazing, and awareness-based meditation. With practice, we can move through life with effortless effort.

 

“Awareness is the subject, that is awaring or experiencing or looking. And awareness is the object we’re looking at. Recognizing everything as the splay of awareness is how we see things. Our karmic projections and perceptions, like how we perceive whether it’s hot or cold in this room right now is our subjective projections and interpretations. The temperature is one but our interpretations are many.”
