Re: [Zen] Re: Fwd: The Awakening Of Heart

[Jue Miao Jing Ming - 覺妙精明]

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your response.  Words are difficult to communicate 
spiritual witnesses, especially what I was taught are in Chinese.  The 
following is my best effort for the moment for your reference. :-)

1. sync = resonate in the macro sense, and not in the detailed meaning 
sense.
2. Chan Ding is the gateway into the True Realm, some call it samadhi.  
It is practiced by "sensing" a chakra, "focusing" on the chakra and 
"entering" into the chakra.

I hope these words communicated.

Hi Donald,

I have tried to get this posted several times today, but keep on 
getting an error message. So if this message appears multiple times, 
in various wordings, you know why.

Thanks for posting that piece by your teacher. I appreciate hearing 
language from a different tradition that is intuitively intelligible 
to me, especially the integration of the being in all its dimensions, 
within the Heart of course, which is the place of integration! How 
wonderful to know that we are contemplating the same reality. If I 
have understood correctly, heart to heart transmission is central to 
your tradition, is it not? I can sense the truth of it because my own 
reality brightens and deepens when I read the words of your teacher. I 
have some questions for you when you find the time….

1/ Could you clarify what is meant by "synching"? He places it between 
hearing and awakening. Perhaps he just means the intuition of the 
transmission?

2/ Chan Ding: I think I read somewhere that this is the Chinese term 
of samatha, or at least samadhi practice. But what is the object of 
this samadhi? Is it the three signs of being as in the practice of 
satipatthana? Or perhaps the voidness samdhi that results by and by 
from the contemplation of the three signs? Something else? How is it 
practiced?

Best wishes,

Daniel
