Gilu / Kiulu

With this teaching, you will learn to peel off the layers of illusion so that you can truly see yourself. You will become aware of how much you are affected by emotion - how you simply follow its ups and downs. How do you feel when you hear good things? How do you react when you hear bad things? With this technique, you can free yourself from anger and attachment, and all these emotions that typically dictate our behavior. It is the concept of the self that causes us to react in this way. If someone says something negative about you, it hurts only because you feel that you are a solid, independently existing self that they don't like. The way to free yourself from illusion is to abandon the concept that the "I" even exists. Then you will step out of an existence of illusion. This is how to reduce anger and attachment. These negative emotions only exist because we don't realize that this is all an illusion. These principles and methods you can really apply in your daily life. When you reduce your personal illusion of yourself, then you destroy all illusion.
