Understanding Buddha’s Teachings on the Ultimate Nature of Reality: Emptiness

In Modern Buddhism, Veneranle Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche explains that the teachings on emptiness have:

“the power to liberate all living beings permanently from their suffering. Through practising and realizing this [emptiness] teaching, which is explained more fully in the chapter Training in Ultimate Bodhichitta, we can permanently eradicate the root of all our suffering, our self-grasping ignorance. When this happens we shall experience the supreme permanent peace of mind, known as ‘nirvana’, permanent liberation from suffering, which is our deepest wish and the real meaning of human life. This is the main purpose of Buddha’s teachings. ”

During this course, we will look at the teachings in the chapter Training in Ultimate Bodhichitta in Modern Buddhism. Gen Kelsang Wangpo will explain the nature of emptiness and how we can recognize it in meditation. He will also share how we can apply this wisdom in our daily life.
