We are all running, all the time, physically, mentally and emo-

tionally. That is the life we are in. That is our reality. Buddha's idea

of liberation is based on these four. It tells you how people get

into it and how they can get out of it. In the Lankavatara sutra

Buddha says,

Why are people running around and suffer so much Because

they don't get emptiness straight, the nature of reality, what is

really going on. They don't get the meaning of peace, [Skt.

nirvana] straight. That's why they are circling, life after life.

That is very important. Life after life, we're continuously doing the

same thing. We may think, & 34;Well, I am okay, I am not doing any-

thing terrible and miserable& 34;. In one way it is true. We are greater

than many others. But on the other hand, we are not liberated, we

are not free. That much we know.

For me the goal of spiritual practice, spiritual work, is that first

we have to liberate ourselves, then help liberate others. Liberate

from what From running around. The fear combined with confu-

sion is traditionally called ignorance [Tib. marigpa], which might not be

exactly ignorance as we understand it. This one beats us so badly. It

takes shelter in one of the emotions -- it can be hatred or obsession.

We are running around within that.
