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?
