hi all,
today i saw the second part of the above series of talks. it was insightful.https://youtube.com/watch?v=eLNjpjfpc1g
it contained the description for the circle of zen. the zen teacher explained the points of 0, 90, 180, 270 and 360 degree on the circle. 0 degree is total greed, hatred and delusion. 90 degrees is knowledge from the sutras. then from 90 to 180 degree is practice. at 180 degree is attainment. from 180 to 270 degree is application of the attainment. at 270 degree is freedom. from 270 to 360 is direction when the practitioner comes back to this world. at 360 degree is saving all beings.
also the above talk contains the answer to the difference between koan (the teacher says a word something like kongan, but i am assuming that it means koan) and thought? the answer is - koan's question cuts the thought process and leads to don't know mind and then from that don't know mind out of intuition, the koan's answer comes out.
the first video in the above post, which i saw yesterday talked about birth and death.
