Beautifully explained. Thank you.

Which of Geshe La's books is this quote "The things that we see do not exist" from? I need to study that book! Thank you Gen La Dekyong

This is the one that I cant get my head around. The things I see don't exist. Then what does exist? Help please.

+colin ashley it means that nothing is really out there, and everything is free of being real and fixed. This means we can change everything by changing our mind. As Nagarjuna says: “For whom emptiness is possible, anything is possible.”If we fall into the trap of thinking that the causes of our problems are out there - independent of our perceiving consciousness, existing from their own side - it’ll make us focus all our time and energy into solving them out there; when all this time it has been the delusions inside our own mind that are actually wrecking our happiness.

With all due respect, isn't the deep wanting for the peaceful mind of the guru also an example of grasping? I'm not intending to be facetious; I just genuinely want to understand.
