Meditation by Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche

Rinpoche: The teaching that perceptions are mind and that the perceived object is not mind, comes from Longchenpa. The question about whether perceptions and perceived objects are mind is possible to answer only after understanding that the mind itself is empty, and thereforethat which perceives as well as the perceived are both empty and devoid of any concrete existence. This topic is really complicated; we'll get to it eventually.

Student: You mentioned that we need interest, trust and mindfulness in order to be qualified recipients of Dharma. What should I do when these are not so strong? Should I apply more effort?

Rinpoche: Yes, definitely apply effort. Also realize that interest is also dependent upon the depth of our understanding. As we understand more, we get more interested. Without already having some understanding, we wouldn't be interested at all. The Buddhist teachings are extremely extensive and profound, as well as being very reasonable and well-founded. They make sense, and as we understand more and more, our interest grows correspondingly. As our interest becomes stronger, our respect, trust and presence of mind will all increase as well. When something is true, the more we study and contemplate it, that much more we will become interested.

Student: Rinpoche, can you describe more about the imprint that you say habitual tendencies leave on our consciousness and how that imprint is passed on to the next life.

Rinpoche: If you have a really intense argument, an almost physical fight with somebody, and are upset, when you go to sleep and wake up the next morning is there any remnant of that or not? Do you feel some anger still left?

Student: Yes.

Rinpoche: Do you need to think about it or build it up or is it already there?

Student: It is just there.

Rinpoche: That is the type of imprint we call habitual tendency. During the state of sleep it is not manifest, but it is latently present. That means that the all-ground, the alaya, had received some imprint, and that a tendency was created.

Student: I hear that consciousness is impermanent. Is this what the alaya is, is it an impermanent consciousness?
