In this lecture, Professor Thurman explains the concept of non-duality, and that emptiness doesn't mean we don't have a mind. Emptiness means we have an uncreated mind—it has always been there and it can never be destroyed. What this means is that we're already in nirvana, we've always been in nirvana, and we can't leave nirvana. But we can fail to enjoy it for a really long time!

This episode is an extract from a lecture given at Sacred Stream in Berkeley, California, on June 5, 2015.
