No holiness—vastness! | Vividness
Dzogchen trains us to see the world as it is, without reference points. In Dzogchen trek-chod, we experience the brilliant energy of emotions without their conceptual content. Those unnecessary emotional judgements are the basis for dividing the world into pure and impure, sacred and profane.
No holiness—vastness! | Vividness
I see the point of practice now, at least one point. It’s to remove conceptual barriers to experience in order to experience experience more fully, without judgement. Judgement itself is an experience, one that doesn’t have to have inherent meaning.
Because nothing is inherently sacred, anything and everything can be experienced as sacred. Snot is sacred. The city skyline is sacred. A half-crushed plastic soda bottle floating in the gutter is sacred.
