In this introductory talk to a series of eight talks on the Eight Awarenesses of Enlightened Beings, Zuisei calls forth the need to investigate this last teaching of the Buddha, according to Mahayana Buddhism. Through studying the qualities of an enlightened being, we are able to sense the possibility of liberation that is available to us all.
“These sutras are describing in a very vivid way , the most vivid way, the universe inside,” Zuisei says. “They speak of that place where there is no question—no question whatsoever—that you belong. Because if you yourself are the whole universe, how could you not belong?”
This talk was given by Zuisei Goddard.
