Ringu Tulku Rinpoche gave a profound teaching on EMPTINESS as a commentary to Verse 51 of Padampa Sangye's "The Hundred Verses of Advice":
"In a state of emptiness, whirl the spear of pure awareness;
People of Tingri, the view is free of being caught by anything at all."
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche comments on the same verse:
"Your view should be as high and vast as the sky. Pure awarenss, once it manifests within the mind's empty nature, can no longer be obscured by the negative emotions, which become its ornaments instead. The changeless state that is the realization of the view is not something that comes into existence, remains, or ceases; within it, awareness observes the movement of thoughts like a serene old watching children at play. Confused thoughts cannot affect pure awareness any more than a sword can pierce the sky."
