Lady Tsogyal asked the Lotus-Born master: What is the dividing line between pain and pleasure? The master replied: Pain is uneasiness of mind, while pleasure is mental ease. When applying this experientially to your stream-of-being, look into the painful state of uneasiness and see that it does not consist of any concrete substance but rather is mind. Mind is empty, and this empty quality is a state of ease —this is the vital point of changing pain to ease. Tsogyal, this advice of utmost importance, I give to you.
