This mind is no mind of conceptual thought and is completely detached from forms. So Buddhas and sentient beings do not differ at all. If you can only rid yourself of conceptual thought, you will have accomplished everything.
Huang po.
Transmission of mind.
I find daily proof of huang po's teachings, verified by my own experience.
One Example is my perpetual dislike of business admin. I run my own construction company. I am a sole trader and work the tools and the pen.
I like being on the tools, yet hate doing paperwork. I constantly put off doing any invoices, I can hear myself thinking of ways to postpone doing the paperwork, if I follow these conceptual thoughts about how boring the paperwork is, I'll postpone it.
Yet, the only way I can do them, is if I say to myself, right, I'm doing the invoices right now. I cut off the conceptualising about them, just do them, and I find it's not so bad after all..
There are many instances like this for me. Huang po is right. Don't believe the conceptual mind.
