The idea that our ignorance and delusion is part of our Buddha Nature really did something for me just now.
Thanks!
Realized Buddhanature or nonrealized Buddhanature, Buddhanature either way.

Regarding the Advaita guys, kind of makes me wonder if thinking or reading too much Buddhist philosophy could be an impediment to practice
It can be. It isn't always, though.
Congratulations! Ziggy's sock is beyond the mind of eternal Buddhas.
Eternal Buddhas can be bracketed, can´t they?
In accordance with the paradigms of Sinitic organic naturalism, "身" indexes the whole entity/unity of "each-mine" (Heidegger: "je-meinig") individual organism, so to speak: a) body, trunk; b) one`s own person, oneself, one`s fortune; c) child in the womb; d) in person, personality (source: "A New Practical Chinese-English Dictionary"). --- The "pure" physical body as such (and specific parts, aspects, functions, and so forth) is (are) signified by some more specific ideogramms (plus some more special concepts, like the relatively well-known one of the énergie vital, so to speak, called "气/qì/ki").
The "心" also, in an analogue holistic/organic manner, connotes not only the "mind", but also: a) heart, core, b) mind (--> in the broader sense, as: the "container", or "source, or "well", of the classic psycho-somatic trias emotion-volition-cogitation); c) conscience, moral nature; d) intention, idea, ambition, design; e) middle, center or inside; f) one of the 28 astronomic constellations.
*Addendum: Just consulted the dictionary ("Eurasian Practical ...") and found that the English "mind", at a closer look, also connotes/signifies a whole bunch of different (main- and sub-)meanings, according to the contexts of usage, like: a) that part of a person which knows, feels, thinks, judges, or wills; b) the power or process of thinking, intellect, understanding; c) sound condition of the mind or intellect; d) memory, remembrance; e) what one thinks or feels; views; opinions; f) will, purpose, intention; g) a liking, a desire, an inclination; h) a way of thinking or feeling, mood, temper, character; i) attention, attentiveness; j) a person regarded as having a particular intellect or temperament. --- This may show more clearly, at which "places" the two "concepts" (or associative fields, or domains, or ...) of "心" and "mind" do overlap (or do not).
From this follows that "行", "为", and "行为" also refer, holistically/spherically, to a whole complex of "(e)motions", like: a) behavior; b) conduct; c) (in law) acts; d) walk, move, travel; e) able, capable; f) do, manage, handle; g) to be.
Furthermore, traditional "epistemo-ontology" (which, en detail, interweaves the spheres of "knowing" and "being" in complex ways) very intensely operates with a "parallelism" between micro-, meso-, and macro-cosmos, all encompassed by the "道", which indexes not only "truth", but also---or even more so---the "way", to which Daoism, Ruism, Buddhism, and other "teaching-paths" point by "path teaching", and which is heuristically called the "道/dào/dô".
So much for some hermeneutics, thanks for sharing.
Flow like water accept things as they are all is one and eternal thank you nameste 🙏💜🌟🌠✨
Rough with the smooth.
Congratulations, you found the kanji! Good job!👌
Your insight as to meditation addressing the body really hit home for me and opened my eyes. 😳
Great discussion, Mahalo!
Great video man
Hi.Advaita Vedanta is the inward facing path and the end of objective knowledge.
To discover the truth of your being, you ask yourself the question “who am I “ ( intellectual question) but the answer comes when you are still and silent and cannot be answered intellectually.
You just go quiet!
Luv your greeting Brad! 😀😀🙏
Yaaayyy!!! Signs are on the screen
The bit about "The Mind of Eternal Buddhas is fences, walls, tiles and pebbles" but "The Mind of Eternal Buddhas cannot be called fences, walls, tiles and pebbles" reminds me of "The Tao that can be named is not the real Tao".
Also makes me think of it in the sense that it is "fences, walls, tiles and pebbles" but not just that as in "it is that and so much more so don't limit yourself to calling it just that" I guess.
Congratulations! I see the signs on my screen. BTW You reminded me about my glasses🤦🏻♂️. Greetings
I liked the poem hits softly
I almost bought that same shirt!! Ended up going with a Larry solo shirt, though. It's got a picture of Larry with the caption, "World's finest guy".
Oh! I gotta look for that one!

Learning the truth of body and mind. When we practice, we see the three kilesas of greed,hatred and delusion. If we pick an object like a koan or a mantra, the breath , or even shin ne or shikantaza in zen...despite actually having an object.. our mundane mind works through it. IT attends to other actions. Despite the presence of the object our mind can do the following things. Either it gets lost in thought ( delusion) or it might " focus" on the object or the task at hand but a mind that focuses on something is controlling itself ignoring everything else( hatred) because it craves a peaceful state, or the mind flows out through the eyes , ears, etc . the senses, and seeks an object ( greed). if your meditating these are the possibilities. Whether you have an or object or not , if you're meditating, only these three things are possible. all three are wrong. This is truth of the body that it is not you, not permanent and suffering, so it gives up.
Amazing dharma of zen. so simple for something so complicated.
"having buddha nature" seems additional to "things as they are", actually something like a a "soul"
it would not surprise me if zen was heavily influenced by christianity as it was a growing force in china at the time of the formation of zen to the extent that it was supressed by the state in about 850 AD which is why there is no "native" christianity in china today, on the other hand christianity did survive in japan and one of the tragedies of WW2 was the atom bomb accidently dropped on the predominantly Christian Urakami valley two miles away from the intended target so killing a large portion of japan's christians
i suspect the "implicit" monotheism of zen is why it fitted so easily into western culture, polytheistic religions like hinduism on the other hand sit uneasily
i have got to say i prefer polytheism to monotheism as more honest and entertaining if as equally crazy, there's a dreary stupid boredom common to zen and christianity, being so to speak "peas from the same pod"
zen of course has a few great mystics like christianity, only in them can any sense be found
Youve been growing on me friend. This book was an excellent find, and your discussion very good. Ty.
Ive seen genjokoan translated as "Truth Unfolding." I like this more than Actualizing the Fundamental Point, tbqh.
@@cbysmith, one of he most literal translations of 现成公案 would be: "realization [of a/the] public case".
The latter, 公案, being marked as either: To whom it may concern! (realm: "private sphere"), or: Of public interest/concern! (realm: "public sphere").
"Realization" (现成), thereby, would mean something like this: presencing, making present, or, put in a Heideggerian vein, "[making it] shine up [and/or letting it shine up---in the eyes of the beholder/witness---]on the clearing of Being/being" (whereas, in everyday use, 现成 is mostly less philosophically fraught and simply means: "ready, ready-made, at hand"---except, someone is just reading the Classics, is in a contemplative mood...).
For Dougen Kigen, it seems to have been an important marker regarding a certain basic mode of, simultaneously, "being-ish time" presencing "time-ish being", and, vice versa, "time-ish being" presencing "being-ish time" (有时).
@@gunterappoldt3037 Or, perhaps less philosophically, just this. I should read more heidegger to be honest. I have a large collection of his works, but the language is so daunting. His most interesting imho, is On technology, enframing, and what that may mean for our development of AI and genetic engineering.
@@cbysmith interesting, reading Heidegger is really a big task, because of his special style, which reminds one faintly of some mideaval, and modern-times meditation-techniques, like the "lectio divina" (as part of the "exercitium spiritiuale")---or also R. Descarte`s more logico-analytic "meditations", which influenced E. Husserl quite markedly---, that is, such forms of concentrated "hearing" and "diving" (or "circling") into the depth or "logos", or "Dào" of words and language (being semi-metaphysically regarded as the "house of being").
In short, it harkens back to a long tradition of (biblical) hermeneutics in the European tradition.
What is more, reading the English translations is even more difficult, because they somehow "alienate" the original German versions, because, to put it short, the "halos" of de- and connotations, specific cultural codes (or "stores of knowledge", to use a term from the phenomenological sociologies of A. Schütz, P. Berger, T. Luckmann, and others), and so forth, only partly overlap (but they do; strangely enough, some Japanese pieces of translation/exegesis seem to even come closer to the "mark" than some English versions, that may be so, because of some "welling up" from the "primordial depths" of similar "mystic", "spiritistic", "romantic" ... you name it ... traditions).
What regards clarity, in one way Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger´s long time spiritus rector, is less prone to "mysteriously whispering" as, especially, was Heidegger in his later years, but, on the whole, also difficult to read and comprehend, but for some other reasons, like: Husserl´s meandering style ("thema con variationi"), his presentation of painstakingly "thick descriptions" of all kind of "phenomena", like, e.g., "logic", "geometry", and "time-consciousness" (from the first-person-perspective), and the formulation and exposition of complicated "clusters" of hypotheses.
It`s a challenge, but I also think it`s worthwile. Cheers.
Well, if I fallow the circiumstances and the circumstances are actually being driven by the will of another person, doesn't it mean that I just fallow the will of another person?

brad, do you want to look at your feelings of hostility towards your "bread and butter" ?
no good quoting sawaki on "self investigation", yet being so unaware
A somewhat related question regarding Dogen and Shobogenzo - has anyone read Realizing Genjokoan by Shohaku Okumura? Was thinking about putting that on my reading list as well.
I have! It's great!
