Before the cultivation of the wisdom contained in the poem: Faith in Mind is even possible, we each must find, explore, and begin to become conscious of all the secret aspects of the mind that are hidden from us. We must choose to take personal responsibility for assisting the aspects of mind that are unconscious to enter into conscious realization.

If our very aliveness depends on each of us finding and exploring every aspect of our mind, what would be the most expedient thing to do?

Today: We continue with the last part of the Poem: Faith in Mind

Abiding nowhere yet everywhere,
The ten directions are right before you.
The smallest is the same as the largest
In the realm where delusion is cut off.
The largest is the same as the smallest;
No boundaries are visible.
Existence is precisely emptiness;
Emptiness is precisely existence.
If it is not like this,
Then you must not preserve it.

One is everything;
Everything is one.
If you can be like this,
Why worry about not finishing?
Faith and mind are not two;
Non-duality is faith in mind.

The path of words is cut off;
There is no past, no future, no present.

Today’s Koan: What are insights and where do they arise?

View videos and materials

Today: We continue with more of the Poem: Faith in Mind

Develop a mind of equanimity,
And all deeds are put to rest.
Anxious doubts are completely cleared.
Right faith is made upright.
Nothing lingers behind,
Nothing can be remembered.
Bright and empty, functioning naturally,
The mind does not exert itself.
It is not a place of thinking,
Difficult for reason and emotion to fathom.
In the Dharma Realm of true suchness,
There is no other, no self.

To accord with it is vitally important;
Only refer to not-two.
In not-two all things are in unity;
Nothing is excluded.
The wise throughout the ten directions
All enter this principle.
This principle is neither hurried nor slow
One thought for ten thousand years.

Today’s Koan: Show me a right view.

View videos and materials

Today: We continue with more of the Poem: Faith in Mind

If the eyes do not close in sleep,
All dreams will cease of themselves.
If the mind does not discriminate,
All dharmas are of one suchness.
The essence of one suchness is profound;
Unmoving, conditioned things are forgotten.
Contemplate all dharmas as equal,
And you return to things as they are.
When the subject disappears,
There can be no measuring or comparing.

Stop activity and there is no activity;
When activity stops, there is no rest.
Since two cannot be established,
How can there be one?
In the very ultimate,
Rules and standards do not exist.

Today’s Koan:What is here when the eyes do not close in sleep?

View videos and materials

Today: We continue with more of the Poem: Faith in Mind

If you wish to enter the one vehicle,
Do not be repelled by the sense realm.
With no aversion to the sense realm,
You become one with true enlightenment.
The wise have no motives;
Fools put themselves in bondage.
One dharma is not different from another.
The deluded mind clings to whatever it desires.
Using mind to cultivate mind
Is this not a great mistake?

The erring mind begets tranquility and confusion;
In enlightenment there are no likes or dislikes.
The duality of all things
Issues from false discriminations.
A dream, an illusion, a flower in the sky
How could they be worth grasping?
Gain and loss, right and wrong
Discard them all at once.

Today:We will explore the experiences of tranquility, confusion, and equanimity from the state of luminous clarity that this poem speaks from.

View videos and materials

Today: We continue with more of the Poem: Faith in Mind

The Great Way is broad,
Neither easy nor difficult.
With narrow views and doubts,
Haste will slow you down.
Attach to it and you lose the measure;
The mind will enter a deviant path.
Let it go and be spontaneous,
Experience no going or staying.

Accord with your nature, unite with the Way,
Wander at ease, without vexation.
Bound by thoughts, you depart from the real;
And sinking into a stupor is as bad.
It is not good to weary the spirit.

The talk will explore the Koan:What is the sound of one hand?

View videos and materials

Today: We continue with more of the Poem: Faith in Mind

The subject is extinguished with the object.
The object sinks away with the subject.
Object is object because of the subject;
Subject is subject because of the object.
Know that the two
Are originally one emptiness.
In one emptiness the two are the same,
Containing all phenomena.
Not seeing fine or coarse,
How can there be any bias?

The talk will explore the Koan:Where does this “you” reside?

If you are here, do you exist in samsara or nirvana

View videos and materials

Today: We continue with more of the Poem: Faith in Mind

Do not abide in dualistic views;
Take care not to seek after them.
As soon as there is right and wrong
The mind is scattered and lost.
Two comes from one,
Yet do not even keep the one.
When one mind does not arise,
Myriad dharmas are without defect.
Without defect, without dharmas,
No arising, no mind.

The talk will explore the Koan: What is mind?

This is the 66th Sunday Integral Dharma Call.

In today's talk we continue with the next part of the Poem: Faith in Mind - “Hsin Hsin Ming” Written by the Third Patriarch Seng Can, 6th Century and Translated by Chan Master Shen-yen:

Merely stagnating in duality, How can you recognize oneness

If you fail to penetrate oneness,
Both places lose their function.
Banish existence and you fall into existence;
Follow emptiness and you turn your back on it.
Excessive talking and thinking
Turn you from harmony with the Way.
Cut off talking and thinking,
And there is nowhere you cannot penetrate.
Return to the root and attain the principle;
Pursue illumination and you lose it.
One moment of reversing the light
Is greater than the previous emptiness.
The previous emptiness is transformed;
It was all a product of deluded views.
No need to seek the real;
Just extinguish your views.

Then the talk will explore trust, faith and doubt.

In today's talk we continue with the Poem: Faith in Mind - “Hsin Hsin Ming” Written by the Third Patriarch Seng Can, 6th Century and Translated by Chan Master Shen-yen:

Without lack, without excess.
Because of grasping and rejecting,
You cannot attain it.
Do not pursue conditioned existence;
Do not abide in acceptance of emptiness.
In oneness and equality [nonduality],
Confusion vanishes of itself.
Stop activity and return to stillness,
And that stillness will be even more active.
Merely stagnating in duality,
How can you recognize oneness?

Then the talk will focus on the Three Poisons of Buddhism, as it relates to both waking up and growing up – “Transcending and Including” in states and structures of consciousness.

Today's talk begins with the Poem: Faith in Mind - “Hsin Hsin Ming” Written by the Third Patriarch Seng Can, 6th Century and Translated by Chan Master Shen-yen

The Supreme Way is not difficult
If only you do not pick and choose.
Neither love nor hate,
And you will clearly understand.
Be off by a hair,
And you are as far from it as heaven from earth.
If you want the Way to appear,
Be neither for nor against.
For and against opposing each other
This is the mind's disease.
Without recognizing the mysterious principle
It is useless to practice quietude.
