THE EMPTY ESSENCE IS RIGPA

The empty essence is rigpa, knowing. This knowing quality has two options. It can face away from itself towards external objects, making thoughts that grasp in delusion. Here I am speaking of being aware in a deluded fashion, of being mistaken in the sense that there is no knowing what the nature of mind is. The other possibility is that this knowing quality looks towards itself and sees how the empty nature of the mind actually is. This is a recognition of the nature of mind itself. At this point there is no thought. You see in actuality. When there is this kind of direct seeing, it is not possible to form any concepts. Self-knowing is free of all thoughts.

—Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
