Where is the mind located?

Is it inside the head?

Is it inside the chest?

Or is it somewhere outside the body?

Even Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, answered this question seven times,

and collapsed all seven times.

The Seven Places to Discover the Mind in the Shurangama Sutra is a teaching that penetrates the ‘essence of the mind’ most deeply and sharply, even among Buddhist scriptures.

The Buddha asks:

“What is it that you seek, that you seek the mind?”

If you listen to this Dharma talk to the end today, you will begin to feel, little by little, why the more you try to hold onto the mind, the more you lose it, and why the more you try to find it, the further it drifts away.

** A mind that is neither inside nor outside, and is not confined anywhere.

Yet, even at this very moment, it is a mind that is clearly seeing, hearing, and feeling.

Tonight, please do not try to force yourself to find that mind; instead, I hope you simply rest quietly with this Dharma talk.

You may listen with earphones on before falling asleep, or join us during your dawn practice and meditation.

I pray that your minds, too, will become even more serene at the very spot of the question the Buddha showed Ananda.

Please leave a comment below saying,

“Original Mind.”

🙏

Every single letter you write becomes a lamp for another practitioner.

I pray for your peace tonight.
