- 25 February 2016. This is a film of James Low teaching in London at the invitation of Shang Shung Institute.
“Awakening to the fact of there being nothing frees us from the endless quest for something. Our problem is the seeming ‘thing-ness’ of things, our sense that we exist as some-thing in a world of many different things. The reification which imputes a real and enduring substance to phenomena is a deluding mental process. When we do not rely on this process as a means of generating meaning, then the actuality of phenomena is seen to be unfolding revelation. This revelation is the flow of experience, concrete and precise, each moment with its own unique specificity yet with no-'thingness' to grasp on to. Thus the anxious self can cease attempting to take refuge in illusory things and relax into the space of unfolding.”

James is an example for us, the western practitioners of the Buddha's teachings who aspire to real understanding and lived experience. These are not translated teachings, they flow right from the source. It's a very encouraging thing to see a man like this, a beacon of wisdom in the seeming gloom of the world filled with wannabe gurus, self proclaimed experts and those who simply parrot the words heard from others.
Beautifull way of explaining...masterly explained...hellow from México...
Perfectly said sir 😊
Hello to Uranus
Thank you TH-cam algorithms for bringing me here.
This is incredibly lucid.
I find myself back here. He sounds like Hedderman.
Algorithms indeed. Algorithms that are helping to build neurotechnologies that will allow everyone to easily access emptiness in the near future.
What a liberating pleasure it is to listen to James and also absorb those graceful hand movements ... thank you :-)
I've listened to this for the third time and I'm still captivated by the meanings and the lucidity through which James is uniquely capable of delivering. Thank you James !
You pack so much into a few phrases that I find I must go back as to not miss a morsel .. brilliant communicator
Ce type vient de résumer le noyau de toutes les quêtes spirituelles toute cultures confondues en 15 minutes bravo, je confirme après vérification :)
obviously a man of experience speaks with crystal clear clarity and richness of expression< thank you so much!
He explains this so well. Wonderful teachings and may all benefit ✨💜💐🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💐💜✨
James low has such a mastery of language Then the stand up comedian that is the conceptualising process, decides that this wisdom is now my wisdom and can be passed on as my understanding. As he points out the ego cannot enter the gate and nor is it damned to hell.
Thank you for the wonderful and incredibly clear presentation
You are a truly talented teacher :) Thanks for your work
We are life itself. Love the quote about that we never experience the same river twice. Thank you!
Brilliant talk. Wow.
His presentation is very interesting and clear. This topic is hard to explain
I look for more teachings from James Low. I can sense the deep roots of Dzogchen begun in Loving Kashmir while it has the clarity of Buddhism. Low is a very good teacher in this way. Thanks.
Thank you master James for a very enlightening dharma talk.
At last ,I understand,thank you James
Thank you so much for this priceless jewel. The teachings are so profound and sublime. The Dhamma is so fresh, new and clear.
Thank you for the rich and lovley lecture. You have a rare talent giving what is right for one
Thank you, James, that was one of the most profound teachings I have ever received on Emptiness.
Clear and easily accessible teaching. Much appreciated!
Excellent and lucid explanation of emptiness...and fullness. Thank you!
You teach like poetry teaches the heart,thank you very much.
Thanks for unpacking the teachings
Pretty brilliant talk. Difficult ideas made very clear.
Such clarity and compassion ❤

good morning James, love you❤
Awesome , incredible clear
Clear teaching 👍
Thanks for this public talk . Best regards Francesca (retreat in Ponzone last month)
Wonderfull, ... Gate Gate Para Gate ..
1:09:11 Mandala palace; the phenomenological field arises first. The context is there before the person. Working with circumstances. 1:12:00 managing circumstances
Lovely. But the thought 'i can change my thinking' comes or doesnt. We have never thought a thought of our choosing. Brilliant talk non the less. Xxx
Kiaora dr low ❤ i enjoyed yr teaching on sunyata.
Great talk thx for sharing ❤
Excellent talk, very vivid - plus use of props well explained ;-) Hung!
Truth. Thank you.
Remember CR Lama when he gave empowerments in Manchester around 2000 & 1 (JH organised) and chatted with him a awhile afterwards.
Very artfully, and eloquently said. Still, it is much simpler than this.
How so? tell me.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I ask of those who heard this years ago and were inspired by the presentation if the learning went beyond being uplifted and/or comforted by the ideas and into the embodied experience, where one feels the insight so thoroughly that there is no sense of having to keep reminding oneself with quotes and such. Has the old identity fallen away? TY.
Great talk, thank you so much! May you quickly realize your Buddha nature :)
🙏

I've read the glowing comments before watching the video. I'll review them after I've watched the video.
Look, it´s yoda :D
It's a bit like Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal teaching Dzogchen.
lol
You could watch this on mute and get the point
As usual there is something lacking :-), - the View!
thank you Sir!alcohol.sex, food, lsd and so are all complexed-so they empty! so the re liberating.
Too much coughing in this to listen to. Excellent lecture but a coronavirus nightmare.
But it’s 6 years old 😂
Eat less.Talk less.
Emptiness is not a thing.
Crystal clear 🙏🏽
no one here🫣
Just what’s apparently going on
Plus Gratitude
