Contemplation<\/strong>:
Buddhism is concerned with becoming aware of and realizing with increasing depth the nature of mind<\/em>, which is in all beings and which transcends anything that we could grasp and own. It is the very nature of experience itself and in the end, experience is all we have. \u2026
The nature of mind is experienced in terms of three inseparable qualities: [1] openness (which could also be called spaciousness), [2] clarity (which could also be called awareness) and [3] sensitivity (which could also be called responsiveness or well-being).
(Rigdzin Shikpo. Openness Clarity Sensitivity<\/em>.) <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
