Buddhism Dharma Talk - On February 10, 2007 Nyogen Yeo Roshi gave a Dharma talk on the ancient Tibetan master Marpa the translator. The following clip is an excerpt of this talk.
We'll said good sir. It's so easy and so close that you end up missing it in all of the searching. Right here, right now, EVERYTHING is just as it should be, and it's really great. Look, but do not seek!
This is Nyogen Roshi. Nyogen Roshi is a successor of Maezumi Roshi, who brought Japanese Zen to the United States in 1956 and was widely considered the foremost Zen master of the 20th century. Nyogen Roshi was the last of only a dozen students authorized by Maezumi Roshi to succeed him as a teacher. Nyogen Roshi studied with Maezumi Roshi for 27 years.
From the highest realization, that is, from seeing pure mind (cittamatra), there is no one to save. Such a mind is positive, however. Buddhism is just not negation - of sweeping all away and accepting nothingness. Far from it. In truth, *that* which animates this temporal body is the pure mind. But we don't see it because we are attached to what is temporal and subject to destruction. So first we have to negate what is temporal and subject to destruction to see pure mind!
Finally someone who doesn't talk in riddles!!
I wish this monk was close to were I live so I could attend his lectures.He's great!
refreshing experience listening to an english dharma talk!!!!!
Please post more! I admire your words
very interesting to see dharma talked about with such passion
in another words... "reality" is seeing through the illussion. and thats very hard for unknown civilians
Thanks a lot for posting!
This was really interesting.
I never noticed how often I "talk" to myself in my head. I kept catching myself after he said it though.
Nice nice talk on the higher Dhamma.
Great talk and very true.

@jigglyfidda125 I don't think religion is a right word for Buddhism. It's more like a way of life, a philosophy, a way to the end of suffering.
Still think buddhist's are simpletons? Shit, I should call this spiritual science than religion!
@lcw1980 Buddhism isn't a religion, it's a spiritual path or way of life!
