The Diamond Sutra (English audiobook) 

No one is taught nor not taught.

Same 🙂

@@sherrysyed and captain howdy: 🙏♥️🙏

it's really paid off, hasn't it?

There is no you to listen.

Who is the “I” that listening to that often? 🥲

This is great! Thank you so much.

Prostrate please! LOL

Thank you. May we all!!!

Red Pine's translations are wonderful and I am so glad you enjoyed this one! I've also made a recording of his translation of the Heart Sutra if you're interested (it's available in my channel). Thank you so much for sharing your insights in regards your practice. As you say, no-self (anatta) is such an important teaching and realization for stream entry. I also agree that Zen teachers and works can be very helpful to that end. Shohaku Okumra is from the Soto Zen tradition... have you tried reading some of the foundational texts for that sect (e.g. Dogen's Shobogenzo or the Sixth Patriarch's Platform Sutra)? Best of luck in your practice!

@@Rompalicious4x4 have read the platform sutra with commentaries from master hsuan hua. will read dogen's next time. recordings of sutras are good to listen when my eyes are too tired to read. thanks!

@@Rompalicious4x4 is this a translation of the oldest book in history "The Diamond sutra" or is this something else?

@@freedomchannel3656 I am not sure which text you might be referring to but this is a translation of the Mahayana Buddhist Sutra which was composed in northern India sometime in the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD... This particular translation (by Red Pine) is based on the extant Sanskrit and Chinese translations...

@@Rompalicious4x4 Thank you for clarifying, im not sure myself im just starting to learn about this...

You're welcome!

I love that quote. I suppose you could say it is all at the same time, but who says anything? You are always going to fail no matter what you say. Enjoy failing.

You are so welcome

My pleasure 😊

Fantastic. Glad you are enjoying this!

The struggle to free yourself from restraints Becomes Like those shackles

Thank YOU for listening!

So, "ta-ta gah-ta"?

Yes, although to be accurate the ta at the start and end should be unaspirated - (like the r in “stand” rather than the t in “Tom”. This makes them sound a little “d” like to English speakers, because English doesn’t allow an unvoiced unaspirated dental stop in those positions.

@@helikophis Interesting! Thank you.

Tibetans often refer to it as the Vajra Cutter sutra... However, I do not know the Tibetan language if that is what you are asking.

@@Rompalicious4x4 Thank you 🙏

Become a perfect person and see for yourself... Though, I suspect you might find the attributes to be limitless.

"The Buddha has said that the perfect person is not the perfect person. Therefore it is called the perfect person"

Seeking an image of the dharma is also wasted effort.
