In this fascinating video teaching, Lama Alan Wallace breaks down the process of working with the foundation of ethics (sīla) and concentration (samādhi) to cultivate wisdom, notably the special insight (vipaśyanā) focused on emptiness. He also discusses the interplay between the three types of wisdom in transforming the mind. This HD video teaching is drawn from lesson 1 of Lama Alan’s bestselling Wisdom Academy online course Atiśa’s Pith Instructions on the Middle Way.
