What is 'mind'? and what is 'heart'? How do you translate 'mind' and 'heart' into Chinese? As I told you, after searching into dictionaries and sutras, I can only find out that both words are represented by the same character 'xin'. So are you saying that we don't realize that the descriptions are from our conscious 'xin', not from our 'xin'? You also say, ' dharma is nothing but the universal law, also called "cause and effect", or simply just karma.' You better run the heck from Bill. He is brandishing his big stick against you.
