19 | Heal

How we can begin to heal the harm of dualistic perception distorting the true nature of reality, using the Seven Points for Healing Dualistic Mind, a first millennium Tibetan Buddhist lojong text by Kadampa Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje. Lama Zopa guides an experiential practice beginning with shamatha (English: tranquility, or calm abiding) and leading into meditative inquiry, an insight practice from the Tibetan that invokes, instills, and integrates prajna, precise knowing.
