When we question ego-mind directly, it is exposed for what it is: the absence of everything we believe it to be.
We can actually see through this seemingly solid ego-mind, or self. But what are we left with then? We are left with an open, intelligent awareness, unfettered by a self to cherish or protect.
This is the primordial wisdom mind of all beings. Relaxing into this discovery is true meditation—and true meditation brings ultimate realization and freedom from suffering.
– Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, from “Searching for Self”
