Nature of Mind Nights
This teaching, that ‘points out’ the essential awakened state are the crown jewel of the the teachings of the Buddha and bring us right to the door of the enlightened state. It’s important for us to get together from time to time to discuss and refresh our understanding of this rare and remarkable teaching.
These gatherings are open to anyone who has received “pointing out” in-person from a qualified lineage holder.
If you have any question about whether, or not, you’re qualified to take part, please contact Tim at tim@zirkel.us.
You can also sign up to receive a weekly “nature of mind quote.”
“Once you have truly received the pointing-out instruction and recognized mind essence, becoming enlightened through training is not out of reach; it is in your own hands. You can remind yourself to recognize your mind essence as often as possible. If you train in this way, you can be liberated even if you spend your entire day doing something as simple as grazing cattle. If not—if you know all the words of the Dharma but don’t really experience the essential meaning—the moment you depart from this life you will just roam about in confusion. This is the essential point.
