Selected passages from the "Sutra Spoken by the Sixth Patriarch on the High Seat of the Treasure of the Law." Hui Neng (638-713) was a seminal figure in Buddhist history. He is the famous “Sixth Patriarch” of the Chan or meditation tradition, which is better known in Japanese as “Zen”.

Dear Listener, this recording has some copyrighted music in the video so YT plays ADS to collect revenue for the record company. Sorry about that - I have no control over it. However, there are many ways to overcome this on your end though. You can pay for a KZbin Premium subscription and have no ads appear on any videos. Or you can simply install and ad blocker and/or change your browser to Brave Browser - it blocks all ads on all sites. This is the best solution I have found and have installed it on my Android and it works a treat to block ads on all websites. It works on PCs, Androids, and iphone. Here's the link to download and install: brave.com/ The other easy option is to listen to my recordings (and download if you wish) either on my Google Drive or the many Podcast platforms where there are no ads. You can find links to all of these in the top right-hand corner from my Home page on my You Tube channel. Hope you can find some good options. The ads will only appear on those readings where the daysmusic is copyrighted and I am trying to avoid this now as much as possible these days.

Wonderful teaching. Impeccable production You are very important in my everyday life. My deep gratitude for your dedication. 🙏🏻

[@KAUNTINYA22]

The story of Hui Neng is the most touching. Those who know of and expound on the teachings of Sosan snd Hui Neng have touched the very heart of Nirvana. Many thanks for keeping these deep streams of consciousness flowing. Jiddu Krishnamurti. Ramana. Nisargadatta. Nagarjuna. Hui Neng. Sosan. Sankara. Tathagatha. Bodidharma. No difference. They form the substance on which many generations stand. Name form dissolves into the vast space of existence

Thank you for this beautiful channel. Can find peace in the music and your voice narrating these great teachings.

[@daineitracy3231]

Thank you for your beautiful voice bringing all this wisdom to life. Will you be recording the Cloud of Unknowing? I listen every day.X🙏🏼

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Thanks Dainei, glad you are enjoying the teachings here. Not sure about the Cloud of Unknowing. I read through it again and realise it is quite dense and obscure. I'm not sure how I'd go reading it. I may do it a disservice.

[@daineitracy3231]

Samaneri Jayasara I can hear it in your voice as though it’s Ramana and I can imagine it in simpler more modern language but that’s another story I guess. Thank you for replying. And thank you for all your meditations. Much love to you.🙏🏼

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Dainei, just to clarify, what Cloud of Unknowing text are you referring to? I assume it is the Christian one by Anonymous?

[@daineitracy3231]

Samaneri Jayasara yes, it is very medieval and obscure, I know there is a Shambala publication where it’s been translated and modernised but I haven’t read that one yet. I think the original was written in the times of the Plague, which I find interesting. Thank you so much for replying! It is so valuable to know that spiritual human experience is universal and accessible and totally normal. And you are making it even more accessible. YAY!!!🙏🏼

[@davidstrevens9170]

The essence of Bodhi appears.

[@ATMfromNJ]

When had it disappeared? ;)

[@davidstrevens9170]

Oh! Excuse me. I was quoting the text. Yes, you are right. The essence of Bodhi is always present.

[@ATMfromNJ]

@@davidstrevens9170 Just playing!

[@That_Freedom_Guy]

Perhaps this is exactly what it is like when there is no self and we are already enlightened. We just don't know it yet.

[@eric108]

I dont understand his comments on thoughts. A thought is a thought, whether enlightened or not. So clinging to any thought is bondage. So how does merely thinking wise thoughts awaken prajna?

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Wise thoughts are a reflection of our inner prajna/wisdom and are skillful means in our practice to awakening. Yes, clinging to any thoughts, or any "thing" for that matter, is indeed bondage. But in order to arrive fully at the station and to disembark from the train, one must ride and hold on to the vehicle. The Buddha spoke about the raft we use to cross the river of samsara. Once we have reached the other shore we leave the raft behind, we don't carry it with us. It's the same with reflecting on and using wisdom in the form of thoughts - it helps waken prajna in us. When we are fully awake we don't rely on them anymore. Hope that helps to clarify somewhat.

[@jordantruxton]
