The practice of emptiness - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso - New Kadampa Tradition

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, Summer Festival 2007, August 1 In this video, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, a Buddhist teacher, discusses the importance of understanding emptiness. He explains that while many people have received teachings on emptiness, listening to teachings on emptiness many times is necessary for our understanding of emptiness to become qualified. He also notes that whenever we contemplate and meditate on emptiness, if our delusions such as anger and attachment reduce, it indicates that our understanding of emptiness is qualified. However, if our delusions remain as strong as before, it indicates that our understanding of emptiness is not qualified, or other necessary conditions are missing, such as inner obstacles of non-virtuous actions or a lack of receiving blessings. Therefore, it is necessary to gather all the necessary conditions, including faith, correct view, purifying inner obstacles, and increasing the potentialities of virtuous actions. When all these necessary conditions are gathered and understanding is correct, there is no doubt that we will gain deep realizations of emptiness. Overall, listening to teachings many times and gathering all the necessary conditions is crucial for our understanding of emptiness to become qualified, which will lead to a reduction in our delusions and an increase in our inner peace.
