Transcriptions of Dharma Teachings by Lama Chokyi Gyaltsen (Lama Mark Webber)
An edited excerpt of the Online Teaching June 6, 2021, on “The Twelve Examples of Illusion”
The Path of Liberation is not so much about technique—although we teach and practice good technique.
It is about the love of Dharmas, the love of how things come into being and pass away and in the unborn nature.”
Lama Chokyi Gyaltsen
"By putting your being in the body of a great Bodhisattva or a Buddha you are moving out one of your biggest impediments that you could have, which is your body appearance, your speech, your mind, all your self references, which are causing the suffering in the first place."
Lama Chockyi Gyaltsen

“We desire comfort because we want to be in a state of love—not loving-kindness, not awake love, but a cozy love. If you wish: find the anti-comfort without being a masochist.”
Lama Chokyi Gyaltsen
