This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, nor agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

To understand the disorder in life is to understand how thoughts create all kinds of disorder.

Why does thought never stop?

Always continue.

Such a mind keeps catering to all kinds of psychological demands,

Not only from me,

All kinds of desires,

Wanting,

Craving,

Also from other people.

The mind keeps drifting to nowhere with the conflict,

With the mental challenge,

With the great confusion about life.

Emptying is very counterintuitive at first sight because the mind has already conditioned on thoughts,

On the movement of thoughts,

On the specific groove of thinking.

Emptying requires one to be very decisive,

To take sheer action at this moment.

It doesn't mean that one has no thoughts,

But the thoughts stay in the right place.

So the mind functions totally,

Everything is in the right place.

That's all there.

But look around this world,

The civilization,

The culture,

The tradition,

Politics,

Commercialism,

All kinds of things are taken over by thoughts.

Such imbalance is already the best evidence of this greatest disorder ever for the human being.

So this imp thing,

Based on this thorough understanding,

Is the real wisdom.

It's the foundation of all kinds of other wisdom.

By doing so counterintuitively,

The mind is super clear.
