Samaneri Jayasāra - Wisdom of the Masters

3 жыл бұрын

Bodhidharma is considered the founder of Zen Buddhism in China and regarded as its first Chinese patriarch. He brought the Buddha's teachings to China from India in 520 AD. While much of his biography may be the stuff of legend and his historicity is still in question, numerous early records speak of him (or someone by the name of Bodhidharma) as a wise and compassionate monk. Whether or not he was ever a living person, the legend of Bodhidharma has made him as real in the Zen tradition as anyone else.

Dear Listeners, this is an old recording where I used some copyrighted music in this video so YT plays ads to collect revenue for the record company. Sorry about that. There are many ways to overcome this. On your end, you can simply install an adblocker on your device (search Google for them - many are free); change your browser to "Brave browser" - it blocks all ads on all sites; join YT premium and avoid all ads on YT. The other easy option is to listen to my recordings (and download if you wish) either on my Google Drive or the many Podcast platforms where there are no ads. You can find links to all of these in the top right-hand corner from my Home page on my You Tube channel. Hope you can find some good options. The ads will only appear on those readings where the music is copyrighted and I am trying to avoid this now as much as possible these days. Warm regards

I believe the meaning is to not become stuck in one mindset..one way..one view or opinion, one version of what your life will be, values or lack there of, disconnect camouflaged by materialism, living according to what path the ego steers one towards. The ego..all of this fluff that many lives consist of arise from the ego and mask the disconnect, emptiness, lack of purpose, of gratitude and awe in all the wonder, beauty, peace,growth, spiritual awakening…accumulating karma on that hamster wheel. Letting go has been one of the most profound transformations I have gone through. love and light to you all!!

The last line was profound. I see many zen practitioners who shave their head thinking they detached themselves from worldly possessions or perhaps they do it to feel the need to represent the image of what it means to be a Buddhist. Whatever it may be, they have attached their mind to a false idea and thus their mind is not liberated. The Buddha is the mind; the awakened mind. It exist within you as well as other sentient beings whether they are awake or not. On the contrary, do not kill the Buddha if you see him walking down the street as some zen koan suggests. That zen koan is both correct and incorrect.

Anyone who gives up the transcendent for the mundane is immortal or a mortal? It's probably the latter but it could be finding the transcendent in the mundane. Captions say immortal

@michaelmcclure3383 3 жыл бұрын

A mortal. Yeah, ultimately they're not different.. transcendent/Mundane, but I'm not sure he's referring to that here. More the abandonment of the realization of true nature for some desire or worldly goal. Putting something else above it.

@@michaelmcclure3383 It stood out because I had a long discussion yesterday with a person who doesn't understand the transcendent or the true nature of being. Life is doing he said. Mundane.

@@ghuyakalika I guess there is an artful way to open a conversation about this stuff, testing their openness and not proceeding if it's not there. Or only to the point of their openness. Bit like flirting Haha Another thing is one could be open to communication that isn't only through words and concepts, since truth eludes all description. Your presence communicates so much more and is beyond agreement and disagreement. Also, It's a big relief to realize that someone need not respect you for your understanding. How can they respect it if they dont already understand themselves?. So it's pointless to be invested in that. That's my hard won experience anyway haha
