The Nechung Oracle Program Thought for the Moment...

Complicated Simplicity

  Emptiness is the simplest and most unelaborated thing we could imagine, but
then there is this whole literature about all these very discursive details
with all their subpoints.  There are five paths and ten bhumis, and each path
is divided into a number of stages, with certain numbers of obscurations
having to be relinquished on each one of those subpaths.  Most people just
think, "Who wants or needs to know all that?  Don't we have too many
thoughts already?  I thought this was about letting go of all reference
points."
  Of course nobody really wants to know all those details and in a sense we
all know them already, because they are the details of the many reference
points that we already have in our mind.  The fact that these sutras and their
commentaries talk about our obscurations is precisely the point why they seem
so endless and complicated--because our minds are complicated.  Emptiness is
extremely simple, but our convoluted minds that do not get this simplicity are
very complicated.  It is not that the Buddha and the other speakers in the
sutras and the commentaries really like to, but they need to address each one
of those knots in our minds, which are like knots in space.
