TO FIND THE BUDDHA

The Buddha



Question

In the Bloodstream sermon, Bodhidharma points out "To find the Buddha you have to see your nature". Sifu, can we point directly to "the mind" to "find Buddha" through our practice of Chi Kung, Smiling from the Heart and Don't Worry, Don't Intellectualize, Enjoy your Practice?

-- Parveen


Answer

Yes, we can. Our chi kung practice like smiling from the heart, not worrying and not intellectualizing, and enjoying our practice are the method which can be used to attain supra-mundane goals like pointing directly at the mind to find Buddha.

We can also use the same method for mundane goals like enjoying good health and vitality, and attaining peak performance in our work and play.
