Doubt

Vicikiccha — the hindrance the Buddha named as the fifth, but also the investigative friction without which awakening is not possible. In Zen it becomes the doubt-sensation.

TraditionsZen

Zen

The meditation school that strips Mahayana to its experiential core: a special transmission outside the scriptures, not founded on words and letters; pointing directly at the human mind, seeing into one's own nature, attaining buddhahood.

Teachings

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

Beauty Is a Trap

A short and unsparing live teaching on attachment to form — to faces, to objects, to the appearances of practice itself. One of the clearest statements of Rinpoche's view that the path begins where seduction by appearance ends.
