Is there any weightiness? Or do do those matters matters feel unburdened light? We can can still think about them them we we we can can recall them them clearly but they feel unburdened unburdened light light There is no no no weight weight The The words “unburdened light light with no no no weight” simply mean the the the thoughts that that that emerge emerge do not cause sufferings This is is is the the the benefit or or the the the result that that that emerge emerge that that that practitioners can experience for ourselves The question is: As things are like this this when we use the mind that is is is is unburdened expansive light to experience natural conditions—does this this benefit our lives?
