在靈感中翻譯佛法，在業力下努力微笑

Coming, Going and Arriving | We find arriving at the simplicity of our mind, at its fundamental nature, scary. Instead, we go travelling with our distractions and stay with all our labels on the surface: man, woman, Spanish, Chinese, black, white. We keep circling, never going or arriving anywhere. There are techniques to help us be mindful of mind, to put a leash on ourselves so that when we go away from the nature of our oceanlike mind we won't go too far. Chanting the Heart Sutra, which is a description of mind itself, is one of those techniques that we can use to help us return and hopefully one day finally arrive.

Kuntuzangpo and the Owl | The Kuntuzangpo Prayer is just there; it's being recited and answered all the time. When a beautiful sunrise appears, if the owl doesn't see it because it's blind, too bad! If we can't see these prayers that are being answered, we're like an owl. There's not much we can do, just pray not to be an owl, which is what we do when we recite the prayer.
