Why practice Dharma? To transform our karma and habitual tendencies.
As a matter of fact, the best solution is Chan practice. Calm your mind down. Try not to think about anything. Allow yourself to relax in clarity.
Sitting meditation, what are we sitting for? It is to “sit to realize”. Sit to see our Buddha nature or original face.
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.
