“The purpose of the creation and completion stages of meditation practice is to diminish and eventually eliminate mind’s attachment to existence and non-existence so that realization of emptiness and manifestation of clarity simultaneously shine forth.”
— 3rd Jamgön Kongtrul Rinpoche
ABOUT THE IMMERSION
