In reflection on the question: how do we deepen our meditation?, Rinpoche asks us to expand our concept of our relationship to others by considering the power of lineage. Although in the material world, self-reliance is most important, when it comes to spiritual practice, relying on the teachings, teachers, and our community become more relevant. Rinpoche explains how to create a healthy sense of self through a thorough investigation of the way our ego functions, without either trying to control or ignore our habitual patterns. From this healthy, nourished basis, we can deepen our understanding of the emptiness of self--the actual “lifetime guarantee” of a stress-free life!
