realizing reality

3/3/2021

 
​Question:  Appendix B: Mind and Consciousness states, “Our concepts do not, and cannot, account for actual experience, let alone for Reality.  This realization is pivotal if we would understand the nature of subjective experience, conscious awareness, and indeed, Mind.”

Is realizing that concepts do not account for Reality (fundamentally) different than realizing Emptiness?  Is this realization different than Complete Awakening?
 
Response to Q1:  Cannot say that it is, provided the realization you are asking about is seeing rather than conceptualizing—i.e., that it doesn’t involve the formation of ideas or the holding of views.
 
Response to Q2:  Cannot say that it is.
