37 Practices of the Bodhisattva – Verse 22

By Ken McLeod

Ken McLeod continues his commentary on the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva with the 22nd verse. Watch the other videos here.

22
Whatever arises in experience is your own mind.
Mind itself is free of any conceptual limitations.
Know that and don’t generate
Subject-object fixations — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.

There is no escape from your experience—this is your life!
