Transform our mindstream with purity. “Our true nature is emptiness”. Habituate ourselves with this in mind. Look at our true nature without any ideas or clinging.
Wisdom can be uncovered through Chan practice. What kind of wisdom? Omniscient wisdom. In order to reach such a state, one must start from terminating distracting thoughts and worries.
We have been leading a Chan practice session with pro-fessors and students of the 2019 Winter School every evening.Chan practice allows us to rediscover our space of mind.
We must be mindful of thoughts in daily life, at all times.
Besides the contemplation on suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and egolessness, we must cultivate an altruistic intention towards people, animals, even tables and chairs.
Life is too short, impermanent, and transient. We should optimize it to accumulate meritorious conditions and wisdom.
