Breakthrough Sermon
Originally appeared August 2012
The mind is the root from which all things grow. If you can understand the mind, everything else is included. It’s like with a tree. All of its fruit and flowers, its branches and leaves, depend on its root. If you nourish its root, a tree multiplies. If you cut its root, it dies.
Bodhidharma’s teaching is essentially very sparse and simple: “Behold the mind.” Doesn’t allow a lot of distracting philosophical points, just brings us back to awareness and turning the attention inwards.
