Dear Mr. Harris, Thank you for explaining the Heart Sutra. It is something I have chanted since October 1974. Your explanations are easy to understand and deeply appreciated. Gassho.
This is a wonderfully clear and helpful explanation. Thank you for sharing this 🙏 Your description, towards the end of the talk, of the meaning behind “Gate gate para gate para sam gate bodhi swaha” was an opening moment. Thank you again.
Place your palms one inch apart . The space of what seams empty is where the energy of oneness can be felt . Empty and full in the same moment .❤❤❤ Namaste ❤
I can't thank you enough. Finally this is beginning to make sense to me. I know I can find those small moments and work on myself within them! I'm going to watch this again and again. It's been a real 'lightbulb' moment!
Yes! This is on a loop for me today 🎉❤❤❤thank you sir! Formless in form to live the path, to aftyalize the realizations 🎉❤ This sutra is helpful with reminders for my mind to be a better friend to my heart and the heart of all which are one 🎉❤
I have learnt so much from this talk and indeed, all your talks. You have had an amazingly rich life and it can be seen in your manner. I bless you for your gift and m thankful for your acquired wisdom. Blessings be upon you! 🙏🙏🌸🌺💖🌼
Much gratitude to all who made this possible. profoundly simple... Folks in the west who are fortunate enough to listen will benifit greatly as I have. Thank you very much
Thank you - I grew up with the Heart Sutra and have known it "by heart" since the age of 8 - second gen-zen - this was he best explanation I've come across
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful discourse. The presentation is flawless. You have really taught me a great deal about this very important sutra. Each time I listen to this the imageless picture becomes clearer and clearer. Om Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha.
Thank you very much for sharing your deep knowledge of Buddhist teachings. I found your talk very informative and interesting. Although my initial interest lies with Dao/Tao, it intersected with Buddhist thought. I will be tuning in to listen to more of your talks.
I'm very grateful for your teaching base on your elebrated hard work, deep insight of this supreme wisdom sutra - The Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutram ( or the Heart Sutra), along with your vast dhama knowledges and precious personal dhama practice experiences. It is a very rare teaching that I am lucky enough to encounter. Thank you very much!🙏🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is a very nice talk. One thing I would mention not regarding only this lecture is to alter teaching that it is much more possible for us all to gain insight and that is not so incredible far away and achieveble only by amazing talents. Bring it down to the earth to the real life not creating legends and how far is all to gain....
❤🙏 Thank you for explaining emptiness. So many pounce on that ONE word to say "the Buddha doesn't believe in God and says everything is empty "of God". He wasn't even addressing God in the word. Its our western translation that uses the word emptiness.
Are you familiar with the book The Bodhisattva'Way of Life, by Master Shantideva? It describes the path of the two pillars of enlightenment being wisdom and compassion.
oI was inspired by Mircea Eliade's "ZIalmoxis" so when it came to finding a name for the channel, it seemed like a good choice. Hooray for your ancestor!!
"Emptiness is not explicable in words!" - And then he proceeds to explain emptiness, IN WORDS! I assume he should have said the experience of emptiness is not fully describable in words. Actually, the most precise intellectual understanding of emptiness is to be gained from Madhyamaka Buddhism (I am pretty sure Tsongkhapa said an intellectual understanding was useful). If you read Madhyamaka discussions of the term 'emptiness' (sunyata) you will find that it refers to the formulation - NOT-EXISTENT, NOT-NON-EXISTENT, NOT-BOTH(EXISTENT & NON-EXISTENT), NOT(NEITHER(EXISTENT NOR NON-EXISTENT)). As the Madhyamika Bhavaviveka indicated the character of reality is: Neither existent, nor nonexistent, both existent and nonexistent, nor neither. …true reality …is free from …is free from these four possibilities. This is not a concoction put together in a moment of mystical intoxication. It is the precise description of the ultimate nature of reality, in fact it is also a precise description of the existential configuration of a quantum field. As the quantum physicist Giancarlo Ghiradhi points out the state of a quantum superposition is (using a chair as a convenient classical level example) - How can it be understood that, attached to these potentialities, is a nonepistemic probability that in a subsequent measurement of position the chair will be found here or there (which is equivalent to asserting that, before the measurement was carried out, the chair could be neither here nor there, nor in both places, nor in neither place)? You can find this formulation a few places in quantum discussions, and mathematical analysis shows it is correct. A quantum field has this existential configuration of the four extremes. - quantumbuddhism.org
The dharmas sound like subatomic particles, but I suppose that's another illusion. Interbeing works there... Avalokitesvara and Quan Yin are synonymous? Ohhhh, thank you. And ignorance? Just ignore it! ;*[} Seriously, thank you for the clarification.
I think he means as you take apart a car you realise there is no car in it. No car-ness. So a human is more a process, it is not a thing. So there are no objects. Only relationships, processes, reflection. Those words describe consciousness. All you see is the processes, the reflection of consciousness All you are is consciousness 😅 Now act accordingly. Just kidding. See if it is true for you. To understand is cool. To embody it is the test of time. When i fail to be loving, it brings me compassion for all that tried. For all beings. For all that is in the state of being.❤ I recognize myself in others. That is love. Forgiveness peace joy contentment , all rises fom love. Love is what you are. Love is what you seek. "Know thy self" Delphi "I know nothing " Socrates "Nothing pases with ease through the eye of a needle" Jesus Science: the objective objectfication of objects is trying to find a "thing"😅 The more it fails, the more it succeed, since there is no-thing . But it can't understand that. 😅😢
True wisdom knows the most powerful deity is male. Because. In him lies the seed. The female is the field. The soil to bear the seed. Which is why the female is bigger. Plumper. Able to be fed off of and yet maintain her breadth. The male is stronger in some respects. The female is stronger in other respects. But the true strength of the female is in demonstrating her ability to respect her place as mate, not leader. For by being the mate, she becomes the leader. By becoming last, one becomes first. The most powerful, perfect leader leads without being known as the leader. This whole ideology is based in fallible incarnation. True wisdom transcends these ideas. Its like a match flame compared to an atom bomb. Cheers.

Really amazing work! Thank you for making that and also thanks to the destiny ! By the way could you please make one more for the Diamond Cutter Sutra
❤🙏 Thank you for explaining emptiness.

Thank you so very much. I have a question, how does one cultivate compassion? Can it even be cultivated? Thank you
Are you familiar with the book The Bodhisattva'Way of Life, by Master Shantideva? It describes the path of the two pillars of enlightenment being wisdom and compassion.
@@uschischueller4643 self cherishing is an obstacle to cultivation of compassion."Fake it til you make it!"
🙏
Would you say that the dharmas mean the same as Kalapas discussed in the Abidhamma? Namely, atoms which exist for split seconds snd then disappear?
Xie xie, Laoshi! Amituofo!
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Does anybody know any texts to read about the quoted "four upside-down views"?
Thank you for your teachings.I don't understand one thing : Why the name of my romanian ancestor Zalmoxis in your yt channel? What's the link?
oI was inspired by Mircea Eliade's "ZIalmoxis" so when it came to finding a name for the channel, it seemed like a good choice. Hooray for your ancestor!!
@@zalmoxisfoundation8304 thank you for the answer 🤗.
when english subs put word darkness, the word he say is dharmas.
