**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY. This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

To solve the issue,

We must live at this moment so we can observe,

Learn to really meet the issues.

To live at this moment,

One has to understand the self,

The thought,

The influence of the me that keeps the mind always living in the past,

In all kinds of self-deception.

It is not easy to see through the self-deception because the mind can tremble forth and back,

The mind can resist,

And one must have this courage to hold,

Never yield to the deception.

Just observe,

Learn,

When in that process,

The mind begins to transform itself.

One can't think about it,

Imagine it,

Because this process is abstract,

Our real life is also abstract.

What one can imagine or think about is something concrete,

But the concrete never meets the abstract.

One can only perceive the abstract.

It's the true living,

Perceive,

Not imagine.
