Appearance and Reality: The Paradox of the Two Truths
Talk | Do Tulku (SD-Quality)
Duration: 1h 16min

The inseparability of the two truths, appearance and reality, is what best explains our existence: our mind, our experience, and the phenomena we perceive. To actually look at them, not just intellectually but through our experience is the only way out of Samsara. As aspirants of thorough mental transformation, it is important to understand that Samsara is the mind that does not see the reality of itself. And so, nirvana is, however simple it may sound, nothing more than the removal of such ignorance.
