" From a Buddhist point of view, when we have no understanding of our true nature, we may feel we are staring into the abyss of annihilation. If we understand our true nature, there can be a greater trust in the process of opening. Our essential nature is clear, spacious, and luminous, free of the dualities of good and bad, light and dark. While we cling to relative concepts about our self and our reality, we suffer and become torn apart. As we empty and release, we come to a place of ease and spaciousness that is beyond the ego's limiting fears and identity. In Tibetan Buddhism this is known as the non dual ground of being, a quality of awareness where there is no person, no form, no struggle, and no suffering because there is no one to suffer."
