Using the example of letters on a blackboard in primary school Rinpoche very vividly explains the difference between the mere appearance and the labeling of phenomena and how the later clearly only comes from our own mind. Taking that example further and applying the same logic to the "I" he guides us to loosen the grip of this hallucinated "I" and to look at phenomena constantly holding this awareness, giving us much more peace in our daily life. To help us becoming motivated to the Dharma and to stay inspired Rinpoche strongly advices to meditate on impermanence and not abandon it as a meditation for beginners.
