Hi Mayka,
True. Chan way is just one of many paths shaping our colorful lives.
Along the way we all witness the same thing. Just label them differently.

can both appreciate and understand your dharma here. It sounds very
simple and wise. I copy and paste below the essentials of the
heart beyond any spiritual tradition only with the purpose of giving
a sense of space and freedom from any spiritual tradition form
bondage. There has been many people who awakened in the heart and
they didn't use the form of chakra ways. /

Hi Maria,
It seems that you are now the only one mentioning "heart". Please
let me support by making a few statements for those "heart-less"
sentient beings in the forum. hahaha. :-) just having some fun.
Heart in our school carries two meanings. It is a label
indicating a location in the middle of our chest to let our Self
Nature unfold or to reach Kensho. It is where we will be in sync
with the Nature of the Universe(satori). Heart in our school also
means the essence of all phenomena visible and invisible. Hence
the heart(the spirit or essence) within us is not difference from
the heart of the universe.(the spirit or essence). They are one
of the same. Therefore we call our "Heart Chan Practice" a pure
spiritual practice.
Heart carries no memory, no knowledge nor does it analyze. Heart
is pure chi, compassion and wisdom. Hence, heart makes no
judgment and accept all phenomena as is. Heart is the direct
connection to every moment. Heart could not function if
otherwise. Heart is our Grand Central station as per Daniel.
As we integrate all chakras in our body into one, all chi channels
into one. Our entire being integrates one. We become one heart
or one spirit or one essence. (Actually it is rather abstract.
Sorry.) Then we are able to sync with the heart of the universe.
It is a gradual process and increases in frequency. Then suddenly
our "heart", or "essence of our being" is completely in sync from
the location of our heart to the "essence of the universe".
Throughout this journey, there is no need for the mind to appear.
There is no need for thinking, understanding, debating, arguing.
Just sit, as always emphasized by Bill.
Just sense and feel with the "heart". More often than not, once
that occurs, the first reaction is usually tears. We call that,
"you found home." :-)
