Two Truths and 8 Fold Path
The next set of constanats belong to the Manipura Chakra. These ten sounds form the Two Truths and the Eight Fold Path. In our previous discussion we explored the spacious nature of the Vishudda Chakra and interdependent arising of the Anahata or Heart Chakra. The spacious nature of emptiness is known as Unconventional Wisdom, while the 12 Links are Conventional Wisdom. These two wisdoms are necessary for development on the path. Without Conventional Wisdom we could not acheive an understanding of Emptiness. Without Unconventional Wisdom we could not acheive liberation. Ultimately the two are not separate, yet they are the base of dualistic experience. It is like the breath coming into form. As long as there is life the two will be united as one, not separate, not the same.
To achieve liberation from suffering we need to have a great deal of stability from our conditioned experience or our tendency to be attached to karmic visions that arise. This process of overcoming an independently existence self requires a path. This is where the Eight Fold Path comes in. It consists of Eight progressive experience which leads on to stability and ultimately to a place where one can address effectively the five posionous emotions and there antidotes.
