Early years of 6th Patriarch HuiNeng (starting on Slide 166)
For the first 24 years of his life, HuiNeng suffered immensely
He suffered so much he had no choice but to accept the pain, he was forced to let go
But once you accept the pain, it will lessen
What is the Middle Way? The Middle way has no marks, there is no formula. Your Good Knowing Advisor must show guide you
The most dangerous thing on this Earth is Knowledge
The Middle Way is not a path, it is everything, it includes all the ways
HuiNeng's 24 yrs of extreme suffering is also the middle way.
For 24 years, he suffered in extreme poverty, no education, no hope, he only hung on in order to take care of his mother
Out of this extreme suffering, he was able to experience sudden enlightenment when he heard the line from the Vajra Sutra, "You Should produce a Mind that dwells nowhere."
Theoretically, the Middle Way is to neither attach to emptiness or existence. But this is just theory. You must know what to do, so that you can implement this principle.
The Buddha taught the principles, and the Bodhisattvas teach us what to do, to understand them
You must first bring forth the Bodhi mind and make the vow to become a Buddha

Master YongHua lectures on the Sixth Patriarch's Platform Sutra, an essential text of the Chan (Zen) tradition. Live from Lu Mountain Temple.
