To see space seeing its nothingness, with no reference point or subject that perceives an object...this is the view we try to take.
Ever wondered how the concept of space can influence your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', Darren Littlejohn dives into the 24th practice of a Bodhisattva, shedding light on how our perception of space impacts our suffering. Drawing from Longchenpa's teachings, Darren explains how the separation between subject and object can create endless causes for pain. He emphasizes the importance of seeing space as it is—empty and without reference points—to foster a deeper sense of peace.
This episode also touches on integrating Western neuropsychology with Tibetan Buddhist practices, offering a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern science. Darren discusses meditative equanimity and stability as tools to transform traumatic experiences into growth opportunities. He even explores the concept of microdosing to support meditation in a safe and sober manner. If you're looking for ways to cultivate spontaneous presence and liberate yourself from delusion, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a thoughtful blend of practical advice and spiritual insight, perfect for anyone on a recovery journey.
