This means to +overcome these two types of misconception is to realize selflessness, which is +the ultimate nature of these two types of phenomena. Therefore there are two +selflessnesses, selflessness of person and selflessness of phenomena. +Generally speaking, comparing the two, the realization of the selflessness of +the person is said to be easier than realization of the selflessness of +phenomena because of long familiarity with the actual self, the person. + -- H.H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, "Gentle Bridges: Conversations with the + Dalai Lama on the Sciences of Mind", edited by Jeremy Hayward and + Francisco J.
