Key principles of Buddhist philosophy


The unconditioned mind: the ultimate goal of all human endeavors
Contemplative practice: easy and natural, doing what we’re doing
Obstacles to experiencing the unconditioned mind
Attachment to suffering
The habitual need to be doing something
The need to know—what is happening and where we are
The need to create meaning
Fearful projections about the unconditioned mind
Working in the here and now: Is anything missing in this moment?
Doing nothing until it is obvious
Observing fixations: attachment and resistance to feelings and ideas
Intimate yet detached: discovering a desireless way of being
Achieving completion
Pure listening and speaking: beyond interest and disinterest
Preferring neither speech nor silence: giving equal value to both
Doing nothing and knowing nothing
Observing our conditioning: not conditioning the next moment
Open and spontaneous
Creative ambiguity
Letting things be: the practice of noninterference
Nothing to think about: practicing serenity
Natural koans: What is “this?” “Who am I?”
Deconstructing fixations: the Madhyamika way
Broadening the river of life: not making a problem out of problems
The contentless transmission: talking about nothing
Natural contemplation: effortless meditation
Deep silence: managing non-verbal conversations
Resting in healing-bliss
The final cleaning: checking the purity of the unconditioned experience
Dancing in the paradoxes of nondual experience
