Good morning, everyone. First of all, a happy Mother's Day. To any of you who are mothers. Here or online and everybody else who has mothers. So, we're nearing. The end quite of our practice commitment period. And we've been talking about. Sections chapters of the. Great about the great awakened light of chapter in this time. And actually, we've had talks now on all of the. Move on some of the selected chapters. That we were highlighting, I want to go back today to talk about chapter 1.

[01:05]

Which is before the. So, uh, start with some excerpts from the. Yeah, so she's been using. References. And 1 thing is that it talks about all of the. So present. But it talks about the 1st chapter is about the field. That is created. When a Buddha awakens, which is to say. All of the space or land or.

[02:09]

Train and all of the assembly around. It comes. And. Yeah, so. The Buddha says that. Talking to 1 of the disciples. Not yet, but he says, living beings born in the same field, see the splendor. Of the virtues of the. Of the Buddhist, according to their own degree of purity. So, we all see the Buddha feel differently. And 1 of the. He says 1 of the. People from the channels, which other words and volatility lives, who was there at the assembly.

[03:14]

Has attained conformative tolerance and ultimate. Earthlessness, so I've talked about this many times during the practice period, this basic teaching. Primary teaching. In part of the. Here. Translates as the tolerance, ultimate birthlessness. You can also meet the patients. With the ultimate ungrasp ability, or no ability. This is. Very important teaching very important awareness. And I'll come back to it later, but just as patients with the fact. And we can't totally get a hold of anything. This is described as. Equivalent to the complete awakening. So, um.

[04:19]

In this in this chapter. There's also descriptions of the assembly, all the different scenes, or even to this assembly at the time when this begins. And with this description of how they've all reached the transcendence, the practice practices. Generosity tolerance of patients. Morality effort, meditation, wisdom. Still full names, still. Which is very important, which is also very important. Powers are well, if he was in and knowledge. So anyway, that won't be assessed, but this is some of you that have heard this many times before. So, just to you, and then there's a list of numbers of names of different.

[05:22]

It's compared to some of our supers like. It's fairly short list, but there are names of money. Most of which we have not heard of. Or not so prominent. And so forth, but also compassion. We've heard about sometimes. About compassion, great strength. My next future. And on your students on our office. Shopping on the inside. So, these are all of these folks are present.

[06:24]

And also cycles experience in this field. I've shot the money as sure as many suitors where it was described. There are also spirits and disciples and other. Sometimes strange things who are part of the assembly. What did the future talks about the purification of the. How that happens, so this is sort of review, but also I want to re, emphasize this idea of the field. Who the lab, which is very important, just. And very important. Well, in all of Buddhism, but particularly station, which is. The Buddha says the Buddha feel that is a field of living beings. So, what he said for embraces a Buddha feel to the same extent that they cause the development of.

[07:29]

So, what is help to develop all living beings? This is. There may, and therefore they embrace it with you. Embraces to the standard center of living beings. Become disciplined, become aware. Become engaged in practice, they embrace a Buddha field. Is going to stop this to the extent that. Through entrance into a field, living beings are introduced to the knowledge. So, as we enter. The field and in our case, the world. I'm shocking and the Buddha that we are introduced to. Buddha knowledge, Buddha awareness. So, this happens to just sit with you.

[08:36]

But also through. Studying to listen to. Dharma talks through, uh. Zen talks, but all of those for us are about supporting and encouraging our practice. So. The city says what he's up to embraces a Buddha field to the extent that through entrance into that field with a means, increase their. Sacred spiritual faculties. So, what he suffers encourage other for the surface. To develop their spiritual faculties. Do these different teachings to receive a different awareness that arise natural as part of just sitting sitting up. And. Addresses this is so because it's going to feel the springs.

[09:42]

From the aims of what it means. So, our intention is very important. Are caring about the world. It's very important. Total dedication and high resolve are very important. So, it goes on to say what he suffers, is their mind of total dedication. When they attend awakening, the ornaments. Of all virtues will appear in the field. So, many of the. Talk a lot about doorman's and. How entering the field. Constellating the field, there are many bottles.

[10:43]

Like, all the questions in this room, like the Buddha. Like, the planet behind the Buddha, like all the. People in this room, and all the people online. Many doors. To the field rise. Through this dedication. For 40 samples. Also. What is that for the spiritualist application is tantamount to the high resolve. Their high resolve is tantamount to their. Determination determination is tantamount to their practice. The practice is tantamount to total dedication. Total dedication captain up to their liberty of technique. Deliberative technique is tantamount to their.

[11:46]

Developments. Of living beings, so this. This development of living beings. See if it continues to the purity of the field. So, um, this is a little bit about the field that is created again. It emphasizes this. Patients with the grasp of the world. Clear chance clearance tolerance. This has to do with. Realizing that we need to give up our sense of controlling. World and its events, of course. There are many things that we can't control.

[12:53]

All of us were able to arrange your life and the world in order to get here. All of you are on it was. Able to arrange your situation, so that you would be joining us. Online today. So. We have control sort of control of something ultimately. Ultimately. The Buddha's. Encourage us to realize. But we do not have that ultimately. The mutations with the fact that ultimately we cannot. Understand a grasp of control. That's the. To be flexible about our sense of.

[13:58]

So, I want to, I want to come back to the sutra. And some conference about. Who would feel, but it's yet more who was 1 of the 1st chance, which may be the 1st chapter of the sutra academic translation in 1962 into fresh. I'll come back to that because he also has a sense of about the fields that I will talk about. But 1st, I want to note and honor the founder of our branch of Buddhism. Hey, don't get who lives in the 13th century in Japan. And Mark, who went to China when he was brought back this lineage that we are part of. And we will be chatting later. During our service to self fulfillment, Samadhi, and. You know, it's not he doesn't do anything that's totally original. He's he's very well. All of the teachings of.

[15:01]

To put away from a very young age, but he does something very creative with them. And even in his very 1st, 1 of his 1st writings, then discussions on gauging the way in the section of it that we will check or teaching is on wire itself. Self enjoyment to self realizing Samadhi, which is another way of talking about. So, it applies this idea of the Buddha field to practitioners to all of us in a very unique and creative way because, of course, don't get. One of his main many main teachings is that just to just doesn't just to sit up right. But as we, as we do. Is itself realization of awakening, so it's practice realization. We don't do this. So I said, practice this meditation.

[16:09]

Exercising might think of it as we don't do that to. She's something in the future. We're not practicing to as the method to. Realize the higher state of the state of mind or awareness. We just don't, it says very, very often we. Sit just to see. What is already here deeply, so we're. Less today to have somebody sitting there. 1st, period. It's nothing. Please preaching Jacob Jacob. Hi. Welcome. Yeah, so from the very 1st time, 1, 6, according to. All of practice realization is present. We may not realize it, but I see it and I feel. You know, some difficulty sitting posture. We might realize that our mind is racing around. There's all these thoughts. Nevertheless, what we will chat later.

[17:16]

Is related to this idea of the Buddha. That when, and that says that when 1 person awakens the whole rounds. The whole field, all of space around him, he comes away. So I'm going to read an extended section of what we're going to chat later. No, it says when 1 displays the Buddha, this works all body and mind. And the Buddha Luther Luther's are sometimes, you know, this, or this, or this. Oh, our sitting mood of it, but also our whole posture. And physical presence and awareness is a kind of. Who said, like, whether we're sitting for Lotus, or cross-legged or on a chair, or they're sitting like, so again, don't get sex, but 1 displays this Buddha with 1's whole body and mind. Sitting up right in this body, even for a short time.

[18:20]

Everything in the entire world. Becomes and all space in the universe completely becomes. Awakened, so this is a. Powerful radical statement to our usual sense of. Physics or whatever, but. If you're only talking about what happens when the Buddha field. Is constantly all spaces in the universe and keeping the trumps. Awakened because I says, therefore, it enables. To increase the dharma joy. Of their own original grounds and renew the adornment. Of the way of like, so each of us is renewing the departments. Just by being here. Simultaneously, all living beings of the dharma world directions and 6 realms.

[19:28]

Because clear and pure body and mind realized great emancipation. And in their own original space appears. At that time, all things together awaken to supreme awaken. And sit up right under the legal bodhi tree. At the same time, it's certainly incomparable, great dharma wheel. And begin expressing ultimate and unfabricated profile. So this is. What don't get clients happen. When we sit. You can for a short time. And this is to connect it with the market. This is. Exactly what the market is describing as. The creation of their fields, the token is applying it to our practice. And our world and our lives again, this is.

[20:39]

You know, based on our usual sense of reality of. The world being composed of objects. Cushions, carpets, tables. That's candles. We usually think of those as. Objects that object we think about that about other people to. Sometimes we think about that of ourselves. But this is not reality. So, if you're saying that, that. When we are willing to take this. We're allergic this body and mind state of. A brightness and awakening, it changes everything in the whole world. Again, this is not our usual way of thinking, but. It's just exposed to a wonderful.

[21:43]

Over document. About parties, about, it's really about quantum entanglement. So, if you email me, I can send you this incredible film. Excuse me, I already read the book about quantum entanglement. Is current physics science that says. It's our things that went, but they've demonstrated this, they have done. Science experiments, which verify that. A particle or an event. In 1 solar system. Is connected simultaneously. For example, to an event in another solar system. That doesn't make sense to us that happened in Chicago right now.

[22:50]

I totally attend all the events that are happening in California. Japan, but the Ukraine right now. That's current physics science. And so science is catching up with. Buddhism here at the 21st century. I want to go back to the. Again, this is. Early translation into French in 1962. Translation of the. That was translated into English. And it's. Very dense and academic and full of. Elaborate footnotes and. Academic context. There's a recent translations. I have not had a chance to see that.

[23:53]

It was here recently. By Louie Gomez and Paul Harrison. New translations from. The Sanskrit version of this. That is recently discovered. So. As the world turns, so to speak. Neurodiscoveries are happening in Buddhism and. Quantum physics. But going back to Lamont, he has a. Quite extensive note about. Buddha Kshetra. Kshetra means. So, amongst other things that. He says that. The Buddha field is done through great compassion. Great compassion. The great compassion helps. The word.

[24:56]

Is to help. Beings realize. This reality. So. This great compassion. The dorms. Also our practice of vow. Practices that. Is very important. To the creation. Of these. So. Val is. Sometimes talking about. Commitments. Just the commitment to. Show up. To show up and sit together with others. Whether in person or.

[25:58]

Is now. Seems like the word valid is. Any controversy. So before. These. Eternal vows. To take on some project. Take. To. To arrange. So some of the people here. Taking on. Vows. To support. Next weekend. First 3 days. Since 2019. So we are renewing our practice. From the pandemic. That disruption.

[26:59]

Everything in the world. Commit ourselves to. Taking care of this world. Taking care of this Buddha field. So when we do that, we are creating a Buddha field. We are adjoining a Buddha field. There are many examples of that in this room. So many of you have taken on projects. To take on something. To do something. Wade and David Ray. Have. Taken on the commitment to. Make our hybrid system. That allows online people to join us. To make that more. More accessible. Thank you. Thank you all. All of you. Are involved in this practice.

[28:02]

Which includes. The great translator. But. Also just everyday. Take care of the garden. To take care of. Cleaning. So forth. So. Buddha fields. Also says that there are as many. As Buddhas. Each. Creates. And as the. This means that there are. So the.

[29:03]

That some of us. Study. Clarifies that. There are. Countless Buddhas in each. This again is not how. And each Buddha. Is accompanied. By many. So. There are. Infinite Buddha fields. Has a lot of information about the fields. He says there are three kinds. There are pure. Pure. And mixed. And in chapter one. There's a whole discussion about this.

[30:06]

Things that. We are all in the world. So. This past practice. And there's a demonstration. It's actually. Subjective. These are. Pure and pure or mixed. Pure and pure. Subjectively. Based on how you see that. So how we see. Reality of the world changes the world. This is also a basic principle in physics. I think that's part of the Heisenberg principle. That. When we observe something. When an event is observed. It changes. And then if I don't quite.

[31:11]

Understand quantum physics or quantum entanglement. But it seems like they are saying. That how we see. That's. That that things exist. These only exist when they are observed in some cases. So. Modern physics is as strange. Wild as. We sat for teachings. So we live in. So all of all of this, all of these fields are based on. Mind based on how you see things. And also based on emptiness. All the fields are empty. And at some point. Says all the other fields are actually one. Even though they have different.

[32:14]

Different qualities. There are other fields. Light years away. And sometimes some of those. Show up. It's. It's not unusual to see things. It's a very radical sutra. Very radical teaching. It unsettles our usual conception. Reality. Challenging. So the Saha world. Buddha field that we all live in. Shakyamuni Buddha's. The world of endurance. It's a difficult world. We'll talk more about this tomorrow evening. But there are. Different fields who are warned.

[33:16]

When you go to. Hide all your light. Because they won't be able to stand it. And also please. Be gracious and don't open in contempt. Because they're so tiny. And that's all. But also. Even though it's the Saha world in the Lotus Sutra. Thanks to Shakyamuni. This earth splits open and. Tens of thousands of wonderful bodhisattvas. Spring forth from out of the center of. The earth under the ground. This house is built on. So. It's easy for us to see. All the impurities of our world. And it's not that we should ignore that. How do we take care of the difficulties.

[34:18]

In our world. The injustices. The environmental disruption. That's happening now. But how we see it changes. So. This is an advanced. Challenging teaching. But this is basic to. Bodhisattva teaching. Bodhisattva practice. Bodhisattvas are awakening beings of hell. All beings awaken. Ramana also says that. Are themselves sentient beings. This whole planet. This whole world. This whole solar system is a kind of sentient being. It has a kind of awareness. It has. Capacity to act. To support living beings.

[35:21]

Buddha's great awakening. Empowers all sentient beings. Which is to say all. And all the beings within. And all the beings. Microscopic beings within our bodies. In a square foot of soil. So the world. Is much more reality. Is much more. Inconceivable. It's much more wonderful. Strange. Anything we can imagine. So again. Note about. But all. Are actually wonderful. And that's kind of strange.

[36:32]

And how that translates into. Quantum entanglement. And also. Are all inclusive. Include all beings. So this is kind of tricky stuff. But how do we actually in our own lives. In our own practice. Adore. Allow. How do we. Cultivate rather than control our responses. To each other in our world. To all. So our practice is to develop. This. Quality of. Responses.

[37:36]

Responding to. All of the difficulties and sufferings. That also can be seen. And again. The world of endurance. The world of difficulty. So actually from another point of view. This is a very advanced. To be practicing. This is. Which. What he suffers are most challenged. I've heard. I can't verify this firsthand, but I've heard that. What he suffers from many, many different. Are kind of lined up all waiting to be born. Because they know that. This is where that was needed and. When I can make the biggest difference. So this is an opportunity for all. How do we do? How do we.

[38:38]

Cultivate our ability to respond. Our ability to make offerings to each other. Squirrel and all beings. And again, just to. To. Review this. This is related to this. Part of the. Patient's tolerance. With the. Ability, the ability. The inability to. The ability to control all the many things. Because we are part of that. Part of that feel of. You can't. But they don't hold us. So. It's kind of wild stuff. To keep.

[39:42]

But I won't. So any of you who have comments. Responses questions. About anything else. Please feel free. To call people. And. Co has her hand up. So I'm going to start with you. I. Can you hear me? Is that an accidental hand? Or is that. I don't think there's a hand and I'm. Feeding a little monster lunch. So I'm in and out with my attention. Oh, okay. Well, thank you for that often. And please take care of the violence. That is my intention.

[40:43]

Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Yes, Eve. What about the words that were translated this assembly? And and we'll see what you said. The shield and what's the. Good. This. Yeah, but the word. I mean, you're an English field. And it's got, you know, different senses. The. Sociologist. You know, he uses field to talk about social fields. And he said, because of. Not so much because of the field. The metal as field, but the idea of a magnetic fields. So I was just wondering.

[41:47]

Yeah. Yeah. So, but with. Why did they feel that? What? What is it? Corresponds to it. So it's more like field. Like the prairie. It's a spatial dimension. But it's also ground. It's also this. Brown, we sit on. So now I think that's. I actually like the magnetic field idea better. Because. Although I think, I think. And I think it's limitations. Because if you think of such a beings. Constituting the field, it's a little different. You have a magnetic field. Yeah, you can see it right when you have. And they form a pattern. But when you think of. Sensitive beings, creating a field.

[42:49]

It comes. You know, it's not just that. You're a particle you're acting on. But that you constitute the field because you align yourself. With what's around you, which seems to me. Make more sense in terms of the way. You're talking about about field. And I also wondered about assembly. I mean, it's definitely English is a noun. And. You know, if you say meeting or gathering or. And. What my British language is, I would say to you. Which is together. Which again, you get that idea of. Yes, which again, that makes more sense. Then connecting assembly and. But anyway, I wonder what the Sanskrit was for assembly. I'm not sure. And I'm not sure what the subject of this is either.

[43:53]

But the assembly just means that those who gather. This is, you know, in all sutras there, they start with. And I'm just saying this about her at 1 time, because she had this. He was the edition, the intended from Buddha. He also had a photographic memory, so he recited all the sutras. But they often start with a description of all the. So that's what they said. It just means. All the beings who are present to listen. But it's more than just a collection. It's their presence and energy. Energy energy. That's why it's that idea. You know, intentional alignment. Yeah, well, they showed up. Yeah, and like you were saying, we have control over where we show up. So it's not just a collection of objects. It's a gathering of people that are essentially coming together and showing up. Right. So, in the case of the sutras, there are some sutras.

[44:56]

It's beginning as many, many different types of spirits who show up. Night spirits, river spirits, mountain spirits, multiple body spirits. This is wild. That's the description of reality there. But going back to Buddha's field or Buddha land, I think. I think you're right that magnetic fields is not, but that's only part of it. It's, it's electromagnetic fields. It's physical object fields. It's, it's, you know. I mean, I think there's limitations to the magnetic field metaphor. And, and, you know, the way this. What do you consider as a sociological challenge to? I mean, what he was talking about was when you talk about a social field, when you talk about people's aligning themselves, it's different than just, like I said, it's just, it's different. Than a particle being acted on. It's, it does have to do with that intention.

[46:00]

Yes, it has to do with that intention. So, thank you. Thank you. Other other comments or questions or responses. Thank you. So, question response. David. Thank you again. So, I had heard you mentioned that you were going to talk about this chapter so I looked at it again, and I'm coming back to it after after studying the rest of the sutra, it, it seems. Well, I'm strange and on first reading like almost, I mean first reading this morning, it seemed almost naive to me. I was relieved to get to the place where Sariputra says, hey, what about the fact that the world is shit. What about the fact that everything in the world seems to be covered in order, because the rest of the sutra seems to want to talk about how the path of Buddha is the path of the passions is the path of the obstacles.

[47:02]

And, and, you know, you got to that in your talk to on. It's strange that this book starts with this really full throated expression of the inconceivable wondrousness of reality. And then, and then, in that chapter there's only the one and Sariputra kind of looks like, you know, kind of looks like a stooge. He's the only one saying this thing about, about, about the impurity of the world, which I guess I guess is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Anyway, that's, those are some things that came up for me listening to you talk and rereading that chapter. Yeah, thank you. Most of most, I think most of the start from that place. Certainly, the flower, I'm going to see through that. Other times, I actually means. But, yeah, it starts from this place of wonder.

[48:15]

And how wonderful and inconceivable and marvelous reality is. But then it does go into the molecule. He was introduced in the second chapter. There's this great awake and layperson involved in all of the events and phenomena and disciplines and possibilities of this world. And he goes into that. Intentionally, for the sake of helping to develop and cultivate such a things. We're all such a big to see this possibility. So. I think, you know, it's an interesting question. Starting off with this vision of wonder. But also not ignoring.

[49:21]

This is this is the important part of the body side for work, not ignoring, not not just settling into some sense of joy and wonder bliss, which is. Capacity that size that can't bring us to. But as. Mahayana Bodhisattva practitioners, then we see all suffering beings. All the difficulties of this through the field. And how do we respond to them? That's the question. How do we take care and respond? How do we make offerings to all the beings? To help all beings. Realize. The possibility of wonder and beauty and splendor, which is also which is this world, but also without ignoring. Racism and cruelty.

[50:25]

Fascist politicians. I was going to ask, as I was talking about this, because anybody's anybody helped me. Anybody seen a Disney movie called Strange New Worlds? Can you say something about it? It was delightful. I don't want to give away any spoilers. So don't give away any spoilers. No. But in the spoiling, though, I understand that now there's a teacher in Florida. Who is. Probably going to get fired for showing the students this movie. Yeah. The son in the movie is gay. Oh, my gosh. I imagine it would be the reason. Fletching my pearls. Yeah. Oh, well, you know, so that kind of thing is happening. Books are being banned. Some of my favorite books. Tony Morrison's Beloved is one of my three favorite novels.

[51:28]

It's being bad in many states. There's a lot of difficulty in there. And there are people being killed in subways in New York for just being mentally unstable and needing help. People being marginalized. I mean, you know, we go on talking about all the difficulties in the world. And it's important not to ignore them. That's part of what the Bodhisattva teaching is about. But it starts from this place that. What a wonderful world it could be, you know. So anyway. Thank you. Other questions, comments, responses. I don't know if that helps, David. It does. Thank you. Are there any other questions? Karen, are you raising your hand? Oh, no. You're having a drink. Good. Please take care. Anybody else?

[52:31]

Questions, responses. This is strange stuff. You know. This is quantum physics, quantum mechanics. Which fits so well with some of the descriptions of reality. Yes, it does. It does. Yeah, it does. That is one expression of that in the Mahayana Sutra. Everything is totally interconnected. And when somebody on Alpha Centauri gets a cold, Mike might sneeze. It's just, it's all. Yeah, we're all connected. And this is a nice idea, but science is showing this extra physical reality. It changes that sense. Other questions, comments, reflections, responses.

[53:35]

To this. Strangeness. Can you put your hand up again? Yeah. Nobody else wants to say anything. Yeah, it's a good clip. Yeah, please. Yeah, when you were talking about control, I mean, I was thinking about COVID. And, you know, to learn from COVID. And I was meeting an evolutionary biologist talking about, you know, the evolution of the virus. And he said, so, we, you know, lately the mutations have been less, you know, a bit more benign, but there's no guarantee that that's going to continue. He said, you know, what he thinks is that eventually we'll get another worse one. And the question is, so we can't control that.

[54:35]

But we can control how we respond. And what I think some of us are trying to do is, you know, try to respond to what that means for taking care of people. Right. For taking care of the people that have been most vulnerable. And that's the challenge. Yeah, I'm not even sure that we can control our responses. Because who we are, each of us sitting on, wherever we're sitting here online, is a combination of so many different experiences and qualities. So we can't control our own responses. But we can pay attention and observe them and see crises. How to respond more helpfully. Yeah, but I mean, I was thinking, you know, not, I mean, we talk about it in assembly and talk about it in the field.

[55:37]

So you're talking about not just yourself as an individual, but how you align yourself with others and work together. And I mean, I'm in public health. So, you know, people in that field are, and it isn't, kind of, the field. In the sense of people trying to align themselves to each other. And while none of us individually have control, there's, if we pay attention to each other, you know, and work together, and that goes back to the idea of the assembly and conscious gathering, you know, then, yeah, we can change the way we're collectively responding, which is what we saw people trying to do. Yes. So that's about Sango. Yeah. In the widest sense. How do we learn from each other? How do we see each other? How do we appreciate each other and our various offerings

[56:40]

and attempts at skillful, liberative, technique-based instruction? So, yeah, this is a big project. And it's an endless project. It's infinite. And it's not just about the people in this room or any room. It's about all Buddha fields are totally connected. All Buddha fields are one Buddha field. So there are many resources for helping us to see how we are responding to help us cultivate more productive responses and how to develop our ability to make offerings to all beings. So, yes, thank you. So there's time for one or two more comments or responses if anyone has any response. Karen's hand is up. Yes. I can't hear you.

[57:52]

Okay. I just have a very small comment. I just wanted to say that I really love how Buddhism and physics complement each other. And also I wanted to tell you that I am grateful that you talk about that. I think it's important. So that's all. Thanks. Thank you, Karen. Please take care and get well. Yeah. Well, there's so many different fields of endeavor and study in our world now that are responsive and that are making offerings to the well-being of all beings. And so, you know, it's very easy to feel overcome or daunted or hopeless about the situation of the world and our politics and all of that.
