Listen "Not Forgetting Right Thought"
Episode Synopsis
In this mondo or question-and-answer session, Zuisei Sensei speaks on the Fifth Awareness of Enlightened Beings: not forgetting right thought.
To not forget right thought is to protect and maintain the dharma and abide in the Three Treasures. And by extension, this “not forgetting” can be understood as remembering. As Zuisei explains: “Not forgetting right thought is remembering: This is not mine, I am not this, this is not myself. This— whatever this is—is not apart from me. It is not a thing, and neither am I. This means I cannot possess it, but I also cannot lose it. This means I already have everything I need.”
