I'll be starting with the Sun of Wisdom by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso and for the subsequent postings until I make it through the book.
Whatever arises from causes and conditions does not arise. (Sutra Requested by Madropa)
Looking at a particular result, we can recognize the multitude of causes and conditions leading to that result. We can then look at the causes and conditions for those causes and conditions, going back and back. Realizing that there really is no limit to this and nothing exists independently with a nature of its own, we realize that there is nothing truly there.
I took my morning coffee as the object of contemplation and moved on to thoughts and feelings after a while. I believe that was the most appreciated cup of coffee I've had in a while. What a rich reality.
Emptiness as appreciation. Nice.
