Q&A between Guru and disciples
Disciple: What is the presence?
Guru: Awareness is the presence, and conceptual mind is the samsara.
Disciple: How do you perceive death?
Guru: Death is just like going from one room to another.
Disciple: I'm always tired and sleepy in daily life, is there a mental
reason?
Guru: Haha, drowsiness is one kind of ignorance.
Disciple: Is the perception of you in my mind the same as your true
nature, or different?
Guru: The essence of what we ‘’see’’ depends on our karmic imprints.
However, regardless and beyond how you perceive me, our true nature is
the same.
Disciple: Dear Guru, if one day you suddenly found out that you are no
longer a Living Buddha, your disciples all left you, and the people around
you disappeared, would you be sad?
Guru: There is no "if", only "cause and effect". My heart will always be
steady and serene.
