Luminous emptiness: the space element in Tibetan Buddhism
Buddhist Wisdom, Modern Life - A podcast by Claire Villarreal, PhD
Categories:
In Tibetan Buddhism, the space element is understood as emptiness or the nature of mind, and it is this emptiness that allows for everything to manifest in its own unique way. Space is an essential part of our existence, the field in which all things exist. Because space is empty, anything can manifest in it. In meditation, practitioners may focus on the space around them as a way of becoming aware of their own mind and the vast potential for transformation that exists within it. When we experience space and emptiness deeply, it can be quite liberating. We let go of our attachments and see things as they are, leading to a sense of freedom and peace.
