Dear Friends Of Dharma,
Have you ever wondered what is "True Practice" and "True Witness"?
True Practice & True Witness
<http://heartchan.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=36:true-practice--true-witness>
*True Practice and True Witness*
Practicing without any notion from our mind is the true practice. Every
notion and intention of ours must be pure. When our mind is pure, all
formed practices terminate. Our hearts will then be able to be detached
from forms. We must maintain such state not only during meditation but
also in our everyday life. This is what true practice is about. All
formed, meaning concept or logic based practices, contain some kind of
notion. All formless ways of practices contain no notion, no thoughts,
no intention, no expectation.
True witness occurs when our heart enters into Chan Ding. How? Empty
all our notions. Surpass all our consciousness. Only then we can be
still and enter equanimity and into deep meditative state of Ding, or
simply Chan Ding. In this state, there is no impulse for you to create
any karma. Remember, a pure mind allows us to generate pure words and
pure actions, directly from our spirit. It is important that we don't
create karma.
True witness is not just a mental process. When your mind is pure, you
are witnessing a profound realm, while at the same time, your body will
also be participating in your witness. A witness is true only when our
pure mind, pure heart and pure body participate together in the same
witness.
