Love the earlier counterpoint to eastern vs western thought! Neither are wrong!!!

[@giselaking1449]

For me, this talk was quite enlightening! Thank you🙏

[@gracefullybroken1]

Really enjoyed this talk❤😊

[@alexhamilton2871]

To simply dismiss this as just arising and passing is hard for a western mind to embrace! It’s “cold” comfort!

[@jimmlygoodness]

Thank you 🙏 ,, Could you tell me what the artwork shown is?

[@hondovortex2519]

Karma must work forward and backwards, and it could never be tied to time because it's nonlocal, following incarnation but also preceding it.

[@swadenashville]

Do you think forgiving yourself during the process of healing trauma - because most kids think they caused the abuse - falls under the idea of remorse?

[@cwilkinsonwck]

There is no thing to forgive. It is no longer. When one uses forgiveness this is ego saying, I'm good, I'm forgiving. Let it go like clouds passing by.

[@alexhamilton2871]

Who can really release to emptiness?

[@MahaMtman]

Reality presented here at variance with old Newtonian /Western philosophical constructs Now seen as an "apparent manifestation" with a foundation of emptiness.. a proposition supported by the new physics.

[@x1plus1x]

The idea of karma across many lives assumes the permanence of an individual in some form, which does not match with the transitory nature of our being.

[@alexhamilton2871]

I agree with you and struggle with this!

[@krishnakumar.v.k6290]

What is transitory nature of the being?

[@x1plus1x]

@@krishnakumar.v.k6290 Transitory means it comes and goes. Now you see it, now you don't. We do not persist as a constant, unchanging form within a single lifetime, much less across multiple lives.

[@krishnakumar.v.k6290]

This is exactly this video says... transitory is your physical nature, permanence of the spirit. Even by your argument , even during one life time the body changes but the "you" doesn't.

[@x1plus1x]

@@krishnakumar.v.k6290 There is no reason to believe that there is more to me than my physical existence.
