Awareness

Ajahn Sumedho:

“Awareness is aware of itself — not as a person being aware, but just the knowing itself.”

Teachers like Tulku Urgyen, Mingyur Rinpoche, and Tsoknyi Rinpoche guide students to turn attention from the object to the knowing quality itself — an ungraspable, luminous presence.
