Don't know if I saw a pureland. I saw a red ocher cave and some foothills, fields of wild grass, and a sky of silver roiling clouds. Changed a lot for me.

Can you please do a presentation about sutras such as The Heart Sutra? I would love to hear about your commentary and your translation of this sutra in a more concise and easy to understand language. So far, I haven't found a translation of The Heart Sutra that I like thus far. A lot of the authors keep using the phrase "no this and no that" over and over again - I wish they could just get to the point. Maybe the original text did mention "no this and no that," but the reason why I am having difficulty in digesting that information is because I keep asking myself, how does that "no this, no that" help us and what is its relevance? Perhaps they keep using this "no this and no that" to break down what "emptiness" is all about , just like a car that is broken down into car parts, and car parts are broken down into materials used to make the car parts until it finally reaches emptiness. If this is the case, then I find it too be quiet tedious to explain what emptiness is about. The way I interpret the Heart Sutra is that has something to do with the illusory of the mind and that everything is the manifestation of the mind. Avalokiteshvara (the bodhisattva) was able to see beyond that illusory and therefore he/she was able to transcend suffering and adversity. Or maybe there is more to it?

Within the tradition of Sanatana Dharma, which was the context that the Buddha was teaching in during his life, this is known as the neti-neti approach, ie. "Not this, not that". This is simply the manner in which the Buddha taught, as his objective was not to teach truth as a positive proposition, but instead to show what truth is not (specifically, that you are not your material body, mind, intellect, ego etc.) This was unfortunately later misunderstood as saying that truth is nothingness itself. The ideas of shunyata (nothingness) and anatman (the non-existence of the soul) were later accretions added by Emperor Ashoka and Nagarjuna, but they are not what the Buddha taught.

Translations make it harder for American... As each character has its own meanings in Chinese and helped a lot in applying to almost all the situations, which means even you don't study Chinese Buddhism you can directly use any scripture as encyclopedia for your living if you understand Chinese. 😅
