Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Finger Pointing to the Moon (1/6)
Q: What is the difference between the perceptive abilities or ability of perception possessed by a diluted mind and those of the true mind?
The deluded mind comes from the desire to know an object, leading to a mirage of the object being known.
The Finger Pointing to the Moon (5/6)
Q: How do you break the very thin thing, it still needs to be alive?
The practice involves stopping the desire for an object of knowing, connecting this to the idea of Buddha nature being what exists beyond the deluded thoughts.
The Finger Pointing to the Moon (5/6)
Q: So, should we use all the three masters combining, or should we pick one of the masters that's the best fit for us?
Venerable indicated a preference for practicing Huatou, but suggested that practitioners should become familiar with multiple methods if they are teachers.
The Finger Pointing to the Moon (6/6)
Q: If you take the refuges, all the precepts today, and have to drop them perhaps someday in the future, is that you have to come back to take the refuge again?
Yes, it's best to recommit to the precepts if you're serious and resolute about keeping them again.
The Finger pointing to the Moon II, Part 01
Q: Why not call the true self just mind, big mind, true mind, and not talk about self at all?
The term true self comes from the Nirvana Sutra, and it emphasizes that the true self fulfills criteria of permanence and freedom, despite being formless.
