Mahamudra: Turning Obstacles into Opportunities with Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

The path of Mahamudra is a profound way of turning obstacles into opportunities. As Mahamudra practitioners, we begin to see that the antidote or solution to our obstacles is to be found within the obstacles themselves - nowhere else. This leads to a profound sense of openness and confidence in our capacity to remain unperturbed in the face of life’s challenges. In this event, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche will share how obstacles in life and on the meditator’s journey can become opportunities to awaken and how the freedom we are looking for is already present within our own hearts and minds.

If you go at the end of this long teaching
You will see how your mind is limitless wherever you are and thinking!

I've always understood how _"scholasticism"_ can be used as an evasive tactic, when not just used for self-entertainment. But I've for 3decades now wondered at your *_"Cut suddenly!"_*
Oh. 🙂
Funny how the bush of samsaric preoccupation comes up loose with one tug once the root is cut!
Pondering again Mahamudra teachings _("Moonbeams!")_ I saw how ... I've started calling it *"String of Thorns"* ... my pondering and thinking and figuring and and and ... an endless supply of "reasonably plausible" distractions! (Alaya vijñana, yes?)
p.s. I've adopted "Drop it!" as less confrontational than "cut", and less judgmental / negative, but even this seems too harsh. "Don't pick it up"? 🙂 Or _"Don't get sucked down into the rabbit hole!"_

When you identify as somebody who loves
and you lose that one that you love
you wake up knowing you are nothing
knowing that you never were what you thought you were
and in that profound loss the realization of your nothingness
is all there is
and even that is nothing
because in realizing you are nothing
you realize that you are everything
and have always been so
So simply know, realize, recognize and wake up..
YOU are nothing
and therefore free
❤🙏
