This is such an interesting point, it sounds nice - oh yeah our minds play a role. Rinpoche said one time, and I’m quoting him exactly I promise, it’s very shocking when we hear it, I’ve quoted it a lot, Rinpoche said - “The vast majority of all human beings on the planet have absolutely no idea that their mind plays any role at all in their lives.” Now this sounds almost impossible to believe doesn’t it. I’ll qualify it, we clearly know that our mind plays a big role when it comes to learning
