What does it mean to go beyond separation as described in the Heart Sutra? Prasadachitta prefaces this rich talk by asking us to consider all the ways we are steeped in separation. This is evidenced by our language's practice of adding -ism to a tradition or condition to define ourselves or others -- a practice that can serve as a judgment that fosters separation. He goes on to state that the word dharma can have multiple meanings:Realizing the nature of reality as sentient beings experience it. The teachings of the Buddha The lifestyle that a practitioner follows after taking precepts. He describes 'taking on' precepts as accepting a challenge, an ethical code that is often uncomfortable, but changes how we move through the world. He then recites and expands upon the Heart Sutra. It describes attaining release from suffering and attachment by letting go of duality. He frames it as a conversation between a fully realized being, the Bodhisattva of Compassion (Avalokiteshvara with 1,000 arms), and Sariputra - a wise student who intellectually knows all the teachings yet is still not free. ______________Prasadachitta was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2011 and he became the Chair of the San Francisco Buddhist Center in April 2022. He was born on a “back to the land” commune in rural Northern California and that background has inspired his engagement with others in building the SFBC's rural meditation center called Dharmadhara. He also helped to establish a community of sangha members who support the retreats there. He supports himself as a documentary filmmaker and photographer but his real life's work is training others who want to practice Buddhism within the Triratna Buddhist Community.

Sariputra, All Dharmas Are Marked With Emptinesses (Excerpt) 舍利子 是諸法空相（節錄） --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Rev. Jodo Cliff Clusin is the guiding teacher of Prairie Mountain Zen Center.  In this talk he shares a teaching story from the Vimalakirti Sutra, one of the most influential sutras in Mahayana Buddhism.

"The freedom, or liberation, she’s talking about is one that all of us inherently possess, and one that only we can grant to our selves. And it’s also a freedom that no one could ever take away from you no matter what they do..." - Dave CuomoThe thrilling conclusion to our two part series on the Vimalakirti sutra! Dave continues the story with the classic goddess chapter, where everyone's favorite no BS goddess gives Sariputra the business for his worst ideas on gender roles and enlightenment. Also, we get Dogen's hot take on the whole sutra, a visit from some benevolent sweet smelling aliens, heavenly take out is ordered, and so much more!

PRAJÑAPARAMITA HEART SUTRA Recited by M.C. Owens, 2020 The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, while practicing the profound prajñaparamita, clearly saw that the five aggregates are empty; thus, overcoming all suffering. Sariputra, form is no different from empty; empty no different from form. Form is just empty; empty just form. Sensation, perception, conditioning, and consciousness are also like this. Sariputra, this is the emptiness of all dharmas: they neither arise nor cease; are neither defiled nor pure, and neither increase nor decrease. For this reason, within emptiness there is no form. No sensation, perception, conditioning or consciousness. No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind. No sight, sound, scent, taste, touch or thought. No seeing,…not even thinking. No ignorance nor end of ignorance, Not even aging and death, nor end of aging and death. No suffering, its origin, cessation or the path. No wisdom and no attainment. Since nothing is attained, bodhisattvas maintain prajnaparamita. Then their heart is without hindrance, and since without hindrance, without fear; escaping upside-down, dream-like thinking and completely realizing Nirvana. All buddhas of all times maintain prajnaparamita, thus attaining anuttara-samyak-sambhodi. Hence know, prajnaparamita is the all-powerful mantra, the great enlightening mantra, the unexcelled mantra, the unequaled mantra, able to dispel all suffering. This is true, not false. Therefore, proclaim the prajnaparamita mantra; recite the mantra thus: Om Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!

THE SONG OF GREAT JOY "Iha" Prajñāpāramitā - BÀI CA ĐẠI HOAN HỶ "I-ha" Bát Nhã Ba La Mật Đa Based on the Vietnamese translation of the “Prajñāpāramitā-Hṛdayam” Sutra as edited by BHIKKHU THÍCH TUỆ HẢI on August 8, 2019, the lyrics for “The Song of Great Joy” were composed by Milam Sudhana on August 6, 2019 and enhanced on October 18, 2019. In Sanskrit, "iha" has 3 different meanings: "here," "now" or "in this world." This term had been missing in the classical Chinese-Vietnamese translations of the Heart Sutra for many centuries, and thus, this verse had been previously translated into Vietnamese as "O Sariputra" (instead of "Here, O Sariputra" or "Now, O Sariputra" or "In this world, O Sariputra"). Recently, in the new Vietnamese version of "The Core-Essence of the Prajñāpāramitā" edited by Bhikkhu Thich Tue Hai on August 8, 2019, the "iha" verse was expressed as "O Sariputra, in this very vivid presence" -- it is the very vivid momentary presence when the practitioner deeply immerges in the sphere of the five aggregates as being Empty-Void and where all dharmas emerge as Empty-Signlessness. "This very vivid presence" is not even slightly before or after; each and every momentary presence of reality, of the realm of truth, is constantly changing and refreshing itself. ....... THE SONG OF GREAT JOY: "Iha" Prajñāpāramitā (Translation of the Vietnamese lyrics) Why did it have to take us more than a thousand years To find one word Just one word In the Heart Sutra? Why is it that this word has been lost for more than a thousand years Yet no one saw it Right in the Heart Sutra? O Sariputra Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra! Iha... is it right here, right in this place, right in this world? iha... is it right now, at this point in time, right in this instant? Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra! Iha... is this very vivid presence, not even slightly before or after! The Core-Essence of Prajñāpāramitā radiates luminously... luminously... luminously........ When the word "iha" appeared After being lost for more than a thousand years In the forest of words. Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra! Iha... Emerging Naturally and Serenely O! Joy... joy... great joy! O Sariputra! Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra! Iha... is the immaculately pure vivid presence, the quiescent and empty presence, the emergence of Empty-Signlessness. Iha... is the utterly complete reality in existence, without a rift as small as a thread of silk, with not even a chance to be dissimilar! Iha... form is Empty-Void Iha... Empty-Void is form Iha... all dharmas emerge from Empty-Signlessness Iha... non-arising, non-ceasing, undefiled, untainted, pristine, blazingly bright Perfectly Complete! Iha... Prajñāpāramitā Iha... The Perfection of All-Transcendent Wisdom gone utterly freely beyond right in this very vivid presence Thus no shore is there to be crossed! When the Master taught Dharma on his lion seat The beginning of a song of great joy Rain of nectar falling........... Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra! ha / sariputra / sarva / dharma / sunyata / alaksana / anutpanna / aniruddha / amala / vimala / nouna / na paripurnah. Iha... in this very vivid presence, all dharmas emerge from Empty-Signlessness! Iha... non-arising, non-ceasing, undefiled, untainted, pristine, blazingly bright Perfectly Complete! Thus, to speak of the Perfection of All-Transcendent Wisdom is to Emerge Vividly in the realm of truth: Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone utterly freely beyond, perfectly awakened, svaha! When the Master taught Dharma on his lion seat The beginning of a song of great joy Luminous golden, luminous golden, blazingly bright... vast expansive, vast expansive, luminous golden........ Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra... Iha... iha... iha... Sariputra...

The Retreat on Buddhist Psychology continues in Key West, Florida. The date is November 9, 1997. This is the final talk in the series. Thay jumps immediately to the teachings on the verses of consciousness, the topic of this retreat, beginning with the thirtieth verse. Self and nonself. Interbeing. Consciousness is always flowing and evolving. Conditioned dharmas (36). Space and time are not separated entities. The only dharma that can be considered "unconditioned" is nirvana. Suchness (36). No coming. No going. Tathagata. Verses 37-40, we learn about the four conditions. Primary cause. Object cause. Supporting causes. Immediacy of continuity. These four conditions are necessary for manifestation. Deluded mind and true mind. Codependent arising. Paratantra (41). Samsara and suchness are no different. It is deluded mind to think they are different - they have the same ground. The flower is already present in the garbage (42). We see one in the other. They are not two. There is no need to run away from birth and death (43). We can understand that the kingdom of God is at hand; available in the present. Conscious breathing and Right View (44). Mindfulness can transform all mental formations (45). Mindfulness is the energy of God. And mindfulness is not an idea, but something we can cultivate and allow to grow. To be alive in the presence of God. Transformation at the base is down there at the depth of our consciousness. This is where the real transformation takes place and our internal knots are slipping (46). The present moment contains the future (47). The secret to transformation at the base is how well we handle the present moment. And practicing with a sangha can help it occur more easily. Affliction and enlightenment are the same (50). Ride on the waves of birth and death. With no fear. There are three kinds of gifts: material gifts, gift of the dharma, and nonfear (this is the greatest gift to give). The practice of nonfear can let I'd look into the light of interbeing. When we chant the Heart Sutra, we see that Sariputra has been able to transcend fear. History of Buddhist Teachings Many have asked who is the author of these 51 Verses. After the Buddha passed away, a few decades after, there was a need to systemize the teachings of the Buddha. This is known as the Abhidharma - super dharma - and it contains many many teachings. Thay offers the background on the abidharma teachings over time. Some of these teachings have been translated into English so it can be available to you. For example, the Path of Purification, the Twenty verses on Manifestation only (or mere manifestation - it is a very difficult teaching), but the 51 verses are much easier. You can listen to these talks again or purchase Understanding Our Mind: 50 Verses on Buddhist Psychology. Two Stories on Dying Story of Anapindika and Sariputra with the practice on the Recollection of the Three Jewels. Story of Alfred Hassler. About 8-years ago, on the way to the Omega Institute for a retreat, we learned our dear friend Alfred Hassler was dying in a hospital nearby. Sr. Chan Không and Thay decided to stop and visit him along with Alfred's wife and daughter. Thay recalls some of the work done with Alfred and his family.

May 26, 2013. 86-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh from Hong Kong. The sangha is on the spring Asian Tour and this talk is given in English with consecutive translation into Chinese. The theme of the retreat is Happiness is the Way. How do we connect with the Buddha? How do we bow to the Buddha? Emptiness. Right View is the ultimate aim of practice. To gain insight into Interbeing and emptiness. What is emptiness? How does this help us remove anger and discrimination? Concentration allows us to discover this insight. These three practices (samadhi) to Right View are available in all Buddhist traditions. Emptiness. Signlessness. Aimlessness. These are the Three Doors of Liberation. Mindfulness. Concentration. Insight. A good practitioner can generate these three kinds of energy. If we practice, we can produce Right Thinking and the Noble Eightfold Path. We are free of the notions of being and non-being. We hear the story of Anapindika when he was dying and how Sariputra helped him understand no birth and no death. http://youtu.be/qXObHuighQ8

Vimalakirti exposes the limitations of Sariputra's understanding in this profound discourse. April 2013 The post Vimalakirti Nirdesa, Chapter Six appeared first on Manchester Buddhist Centre.

January 20, 2013. 91-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh from Lower Hamlet at Plum Village. The sangha is in the 90-day Rains Retreat (Winter Retreat). This is the twenty-second dharma talk of the retreat with the theme Are You The Soulmate of the Buddha? The talk is given in Vietnamese and this is a translation provided by Sr. Chan Không. We begin with Thay's experience being interviewed by a journalist from The Guardian. The topic is about taking care of the environment and the role of business people. We also learn about happiness and how to write something for the reader to support this intention of happiness. To help the business person to breathe and discover happiness. Maybe we can even have the business leader to lead total relaxation. You can read the article here. In the time of the Buddha, a number of businessmen came to see the Buddha. One is Anathapindika. The Buddha started to give teachings specifically for the lay practitioner compared to the teachings he gave to the monastics. Back to the line of Zorro. The line at the top is the historical dimension and the bottom line is the ultimate dimension. We travel from historical to ultimate. You can reach the ultimate dimension in this life. We can see the Four Noble Truths, quantum physics. Subject and object of perceptions. What is in your mind may be different from person to person. Each person has a different consciousness about what we see and what we experience. More on the friendship of Anathapindika and Shariputra. Sutra on the White Clad Disciple. We can teach lay people. How to be happy in the present moment and be the holy disciple. Another sutra we discuss is one the guide for those who are dying. It's about Sariputra helping Anathapindika to die happily.

How do the Bodhisattvas enter the Dharma door of non-duality?Today’s FBA Podcast, “The Way of Non-Duality” explores this as one of the main themes in the Vimalakirti Nirdesha Sutra.
