The goal of all Buddhist
practice is to transcend our
egoistic obsession and
dispel ignorance.
As Milarepa says..
"It is said you can tell whether
someone has just eaten by how
red his face is. Similarly, you can
tell whether people know and
practice the Dharma by whether
it works as a remedy for their
negative emotions and
ego-clinging."

withering...
the process
of giving back
When we closely observe
and analyze our thoughts,
feelings, emotions, moods,
mental dispositions,
predilections, and habit
patterns, we make the
liberating discovery
that nothing is really
going on in the
mind at all.
We peel these away,
layer after layer, until we get
to the very recesses of our
mind, only to find that all that
is left is a bare sense
of awareness.

you can see
upon the sea, seaweed
rolling on the waves
Examine yourself thus
from every side.
Note harmful thoughts
and every futile striving.
Thus it is that heroes
in the bodhisattva path
Apply the remedies
to keep a steady mind.
Shantideva
As soon as we develop an
appreciation of the nonduality
of subject and object,
appearance and reality,
deluded consciousness
and wisdom consciousness—
we'll start to gain a proper
insight into our true condition.
That insight is the purpose of
all Buddhist teachings.
