2019-09-08: The Three Dharma Seals




MN Zen Meditation Center: Sunday Talks show

Summary: Talk given by Ted O'Toole. Nirvana, the Third Dharma Seal, is the ground of being, the substance of all that is. A wave doesn't have to die in order to become water. Water is the substance of the wave. the wave is already water. We are also like that. We carry in us the ground of interbeing, nirvana, the world of no-birth and no-death, no permanence and no impermanence, no self and no non-self. Nirvana is the complete silencing of concepts. - From The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, by Thich Nhat Hanh
