"Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains the process to meditate on emptiness. First we have to meditate on the way the I exists. Then, we conclude the I does not exist. But, if the I does not exist, we can question ourselves how is it possible that “mine” exists. Since there is no such thing as real I, there cannot be a real mine, neither can real death exist or real birth exist. Then we apply this to emotions, such as a negative emotional mind, anger, depression… Suddenly, if you recall the nature of your mind you will notice that this “I” getting angry or depressed is nothing except what is merely labelled by the mind. The minute you think that, anger or depression will cease to exist. This video was extracted from a teaching that was recorded in Bendigo, Australia on April 11, 2018.
