The Depths Of Chan Liturgy Part 8: Samantabhadra's Seventh Vow

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:15:36

“I vow to request that Buddha’s dwell in the world.” Samantabhadra

“When you don’t have a stallion, a donkey will do.” Guo Gu

As Buddhist practitioners, we read and study the profound practice of following the Buddha from 2,500 years ago. His teachings are so powerful that they continue to influence millions of people in countless ways. Since attaining enlightenment is believed to be much more likely under the guidance of a living Buddha, we aspire to cultivate sufficient merit—through generosity, virtue, diligence, patience, wisdom, and meditation—to meet the next Buddha, Maitreya, when he appears on Earth. To practice under a Buddha and awaken is our deepest aspiration.

Short of that, we must ensure we are doing everything possible to be receptive and ready for a teacher to manifest in our lives now.

The Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, outlined in the Avatamsaka Sutra, are profound principles for those on the path to Buddhahood. These vows represent a complete path of dedication, compassion, and commitment to benefiting all beings. They provide a framework for practice that not only transforms the self but also brings wisdom and compassion into the world.

The Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra.

1. To pay homage to all the buddhas

2. To glorify the qualities of all the tathagatas

3. To make ample offerings to all the buddhas

4. To confess and repent of all one's misdeeds

5. To rejoice in the merits of others

6. To always to request the preaching of the dharma

7. To entreat enlightened beings to remain in the world

8. To always to study the teachings of the buddha

9. To always to respond to sentient beings according to their various needs

10. To dedicate all merits to sentient beings that they may achieve Buddhahood

The Depths of Chan Liturgy Part 7: Samantabhadra's Sixth Vow

Saison 2 · Épisode 7

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:27:17

“I vow to request the turning of the Dharma Wheel.” Samantabhadra

“Of the three turnings of the Dharma Wheel none of them are called Making Us Feel Better…the full potential of the Buddha Dharma is not peace, not bliss, but freedom.” Guo Gu

“The turning of the Dharma Wheel” refers exclusively to the Buddha’s teaching . Just as the mythical Chakravartan wielded his sword to subdue his enemies, the Buddha turned the Dharma Wheel to overcome all kleshas.

There were three turnings of the Dharma Wheel, each covering a different approach to overcoming vexations. The 1st turning, which took place over the first 7 years of the Buddha’s teaching, aimed to dismantle the sense of self. The 2nd turning focused on the teaching of emptiness. The 3rd turning, sometimes called the “perfect teaching,” emphasized the interdependence of all existence.

With an impassioned plea, Guo Gu reveals what he believes the 4th turning of the Dharma Wheel will be and how we can help bring it to fruition.

The Heart Sutra Part 13 – The Essence of Dharma Practice.

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:43:01

“There is no wisdom or any attainment. With nothing to attain, bodhisattvas relying on prajnaparamita have no obstructions in their minds.” Heart Sutra

“The essence of dharma practice does not lie in successful meditation or blissful experiences.” Guo Gu

The root of our suffering is grasping - our strong sense of self. In this powerful talk Guo Gu shows us all the many ways the self manifests, both internally and externally. He offers clear guidelines for recognizing how we are identifying and fortifying ourselves. With these tools, we can then begin the process of exposing, embracing, working with, and ultimately letting go of the self.

As the Buddha said at his enlightenment, "I’ve seen you, house-builder! You won’t build a house again! ... My mind, set on demolition, has reached the end of craving." (Source: Dhammapada, Dhp 154, translated by Bhikkhu Sujato)

This video is a continuation of a series of commentaries by Guo Gu on "The Heart Sutra", one of the shortest Mahayana scriptures that expound the core message of Buddhism. The Heart Sutra is also one of the most important scriptures in the Chan/Zen tradition. The series will continue every first Monday of each month throughout 2024. Each talk will be independent, but we encourage you and your friends to attend all sessions. During these Monday sits, we will begin with a short period of meditation followed by the Dharma talk. There will be opportunity to ask questions and to socialize a bit after the talk.

The Heart Sutra Part 12 - The Infinite Possibilities of the 4 Noble Truths.

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:22:18

“There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no cessation of suffering and no path.”The Heart Sutra

“Suffering can be experienced as possibilities, change, or even new beginnings. “Guo Gu

The Heart Sutra, a key text in the Prajnaparamita genre, offers profound teachings on the nature of things. Guo Gu has often emphasized throughout his series of talks that the Heart Sutra critiques the early Buddhist materialistic understanding of the world, where words and language solidify phenomena. In this evening’s discussion, he delves deeply into this critique, ultimately illustrating how suffering transforms into liberation and how the causes of suffering can become the path to liberation.

The Heart Sutra is also one of the most important scriptures in the Chan/Zen tradition. The series will continue every first Monday of each month throughout 2024.

The Heart Sutra Part 11 - Interconnectedness (Dependent Origination).

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:36:55

“There is no ignorance and there is no ending of ignorance through to no aging and death and no ending of aging and death.” The Heart Sutra

“Our fundamental ignorance is the progenitor of the 12 links of dependent origination…a temporal analysis, a process-oriented description of the ways in which we create suffering.” Guo Gu

Guo Gu deftly guides through the causes that lead to our selfing and othering, and subsequently our suffering. He does this from the temporal perspective of the 12 links of dependent origination, beginning with ignorance through to aging and death. On one level we are concerned with the links in our present life, but Guo Gu reminds us that the Heart Sutra was written by a bodhisattva, and dives into the perspective of continual birth and death, called Dependent Origination of the Three Times. This is the way of the bodhisattva, never leaving the cycle of birth and death in order to benefit all beings.

The Heart Sutra Part 10 - Interconnectedness (The 18 Realms).

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:31:07

"In voidness there is no form, and no sensation, perception, volition or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought; there is no realm of the eye all the way up to no realm of mental cognition” The Heart Sutra

“We need to experience the world through relationships.” Guo Gu

Guo Gu elaborates on the 18 Realms of Consciousness, consisting of the six sense organs, the six sense objects and the six sense consciousnesses. As he pulls apart our experience, he reveals how we exist only in relationships.

This video is a continuation of a series of commentaries by Guo Gu on "The Heart Sutra", one of the shortest Mahayana scriptures that expound the core message of Buddhism.

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

lundi 10 mars 2025 • Durée 01:24:47

Guo Gu on The Heart Sutra

“The juncture at which the sense organ connects to the sense object is where practice happens.” — Guo Gu

Much like Avalokiteśvara awakened through the contemplation of sound, Śāriputra awakened through the contemplation of sight. Guo Gu provides us with a simple practice upon which to build this contemplation.
