| Quote of the moment |
| The idea that our interactions with others actually help our own insight is quite interesting. In an intimate relationship, where love and attachment are mixed, it is difficult to say how this will help the individual who is practicing. In a case where there is attachment or clinging to another person, where the person is arising as a very strong object and the attachment is arising with a strong sense of "I" - "I love this person, I am grasping for this person" - if you see this as a false idea of self, you can have some insight into the notion of emptiness. |
