Nature of Mind Nights

These gatherings give us a chance to discuss, renew and refresh our understanding of the nature of mind. 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.

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.
