JMJM; I have sometimes refer the heart in some postings. If I haven't use that term much is because I was taking for granted that everyone knows what the heart is, if not by terminology, It certainly by sensing, feeling it. It's with the heart that the practise unfolds its real wisdom. Differently it all would be mental!. I have said more than once than the heart is the engine of the universe. Nothing truly alive is possible without it. Not everthing is on detriment to emotional, sensitive people and our great advantage here is the heart. Though some may argue here that the emotions are not in the heart and that that is an illusion. Mayka --- On Fri, 15/4/11, Jue Miao Jing Ming - 覺妙精明 <[email protected]> wrote:

So far no one that I know in this forum said anything about the heart. And it has been what six or seven years now, I am still talking about the heart and you are still asking and Bill continue rejecting the chi. These are all labels in the first place. That's what life is. That's what Chan is. Everything is as is. The key is to recognize that we are all driven by karma. :-) Be Enlightened In This Life - We ALL Can http://chanjmjm.blogspot.com http://www.heartchan.org On 4/15/2011 6:16 AM, Anthony Wu wrote: JM, Now you have strong allies.

I am not saying whether I am correct or wrong. At the beginning of my journey I am like you. I struggle with these terms as well. As I said, it took me six year to conquer my terminology. Actually, all my posts are from my experience. My experience like Daniel's youtube is center in the heart and not in the brain. It is a whole body experience. And this experience coincide more and more with my Teacher's teaching as time passes. Don't mean to confuse you. I also like to say, in my states, there is no mind and no heart, just chi, electricity and lights. The key point IMO, is that state of kensho, satori, or even just Jhana can not sustained without chi, which is labeled as vital energy by Daniel. Of course, my experience could also be labeled as maya by Bill. :-) It is not important what I say or experience. It is only important what you experience. As you well know, Buddha said clearly in Diamond sutra that He said NO dharma.

I have watched the first one. HuangDi Neijing said it very clearly for 2,000 years, "Our Shen, or inner divine, requires the support of Qi or Chi." Personally, having a high tech BG, it took me 6 years to wake up to the fact that our Teaching is not about our mind. It is about our entire being. And at the center of it, is our heart. That's my witness. Now there is someone else too. Thank you again, ED. Lovely day today. :-) JM BTW, I was just informed that our version of Diamond Sutra is on youtube with English subtitle. http://www.youtube.com/joycedaolian#p/u/4/ROkmtB1fB8I Be Enlightened In This Life - We ALL Can http://chanjmjm.blogspot.com http://www.heartchan.org On 4/14/2011 10:25 AM, ED wrote: Mike, two more tapes by Empty_Grace.
