Water can appear as clouds or ocean, as ice or rain, or as bubbles in a mountain stream.

This collection will trace the arising of bubbles in a rushing stream of water. How do the bubbles arise? Where do they come from and where do they go?

In this inquiry, we are not focusing on the bubble itself, but rather the interplay that gives rise to its appearance. The constantly moving stream within which the bubbles form is available for inquiry, as well as the expansion and explosion of space as the bubble expands and bursts over time.

We are breaking away from our ordinary focus on the content of experience – a bubble as a concept, frozen in time and locked into space. Allow your exploration to liberate the bubble from its labeling and simply let the inquiry flow like water taking a momentary shape.

This theme is inspired by Dynamics of Time & Space by Tarthang Tulku, Chapter 28, "Silent Appearing"
