Vidhuma gives us an introduction to Hui Neng - a founding teacher of the Ch'an (Zen) tradition - during this Sangha Day celebration talk. We get a taste of the legend of Hui Neng's life and the fundamentals of his teachings on the essence of mind and enlightenment as an activity, not a destination.
Talk given at Aryaloka Buddhist Center, November 2010
Khemasuri tells the story of Angulimala's meeting with the Buddha, our understanding of time and space, and the nature of Enlightenment.
On Sangha Night, Monday 6 December 2010, Vaddhaka delved into the Buddha's unanswered questions; questions that Vacchagotta, Malunkyaputta and others asked him. Among them: 'What happens to a Buddha after death?' And what happens at our own death; what did the Buddha really say; and why did the renowned Buddhist scholar Paul Williams convert from Buddhism to Roman Catholicism?
