Key Moments:
[0:03] 84000 Executive Director Jing Rui Huang welcomes participants and provides an update on the progress of the 84000 project to translate the complete collections of the Tibetan Kangyur and Tengyur into modern languages.
[7:10] Rinpoche begins the recitation of The Gold Sūtra first in Tibetan and then with everyone resounding in English or their own language as they choose.
[12:12] Rinpoche begins the talk on "Pure Gold."
[17:25] Our minds are naturally pure and awakened but it’s challenging for us to recognize that. “As we lose our trust in this fundamentally, inherently pure gold-like mind, more and more we begin to become suspicious and get bombarded with hope and fear…a dualistic mind completely covers this fully awakened mind that we have.”
[19:00] “And like a prince who has wandered from the palace and got lost in the crowd, and completely lost and not finding (his) way back home….leading to more fear and anxiety…”
[21:40] Rinpoche reads the verse from The Gold Sūtra:
“The mind of awakening is pure.
Strive for the benefit of self and other.
Meditate on the insubstantial essence.
Be intent on what causes the birth of wisdom.”
Toh 125, The Gold Sūtra, 1.4
[21:49] Rinpoche explains one aspect of the verse is ultimate bodhicitta, the ultimate aspect of this awakened mind - we need to long for something we already have - and be intent on what causes the birth of wisdom.”
[44:28] An audience member asks, “What causes the birth of wisdom?”
[51:00] The event concludes with a song by Anabelle.
