"Rinpoche explains in steps how to meditate on emptiness according to the Madhayamika Prasangika view. We start by checking how we perceive the “I” existing from its own side. The reason for that is the negative imprint collected from beginningless rebirths in our mental continuum due to ignorance, the ignorance that holds the I as truly existent, existing by nature, as a real I. In the same way we perceive the whole world, the whole life as real. Rinpoche advises to practice mindfulness on that, all the time, in every daily activity. He explains how to practice awareness of this hallucinated way of perceiving and gives very useful examples to do that, such as comparing the reality we perceive with the dream state.
