When we speak of all things being impermanent, this impermanence arises from the constant fluctuation of our thoughts.
How do we possess life and thoughts? According to Buddhist teachings, these arise from the alaya, sometimes called the eighth consciousness or the storehouse of consciousness.
To cultivate positive karma, we must collectively connect with the Buddha, dedicating all our actions to the aspiration of attaining Buddhahood and liberating all beings from suffering to fulfill the supreme wisdom.
Merit dedication serves as a training to expand one's breadth of mind and spiritual capacity, gradually enlarging the scope of compassionate concern beyond self-centered preoccupations towards the welfare of all sentient beings.
Awakening is liberation. By awakening to our primordial awareness, we break free from all forms of attachment. My Dharma practice focuses on awakening to primordial awareness, and this practice is available to everyone.
Dharma practice in daily life lies in contemplation. The more insightful the contemplative training, the closer liberation is within reach. The longer and more immersive one trains in contemplation, the sooner realization will follow.
