Hui-Hai

Ha well sorry to disappoint everyone who liked this reading but i really didnt :/
There were a few parts i liked though...
One of which was when it talked about "men [being] unattached to all things." I think that people shouldn't be attached to "things" because that is exactly what they are. The things of this world are nothing and mean nothing. Our world is so focused on "chasing after something outside [ourselves]" When in reality what matters most is whats inside of us, our hearts.
I didnt really know what to think about the part that talked about not dwelling on anything. From what ive learned in psychology and physiology....you cant turn off your brain. So no matter what you are always thinking about something (unless your dead or in a choma or something). I understand not DWELLING on something as in like obsessing on it, but i dont think thats what was meant by this passage. I think it was talking about clearing your mind.
I also did not agree with the part about our nature being pure. News flash... human nature isnt pure lol humans were made to sin. Unless you are a newborn baby or an animal you are impure. Sorry to break it to ya...but we all sin. And you cant just make your mind all of the sudden be pure. In response to the question "since the pure essence cant be found, where does this perception come from?" they compare us to a mirror. Well mirrors arent living beings....they sit on a wall and do nothing...so yeah i think that is self explanitory. I mean i totally believe that we can strive to be pure but i do not believe that complete purity is an option. That would mean humans can be perfect...which they cant.
