Module 8: The Bodhisattva Path II: Emptiness and The Two Truths · The Buddha’s Path

Session Four - Impermanence Makes Rebirth Possible

David Oromith · 81 minutes · recorded April 14, 2025

This final session on emptiness opens with a guided Awareness of Awareness practice, eyes open, with Padmasambhava's question of what is aware dropped in gently. The rest is a live question and answer from emails sent during the week: why impermanence is what makes rebirth possible, how karma explains a joy that seems to come from nowhere, and what is aware once no self can be found. David also covers the unsettling shaken feeling as insight deepens, and the difference between mind and conscience.
