Way of the Tathagata, 27 December 2019, Pune, India
The word Tathagata refers to an authentic presence: not diluted, contrived or fabricated. A Buddhist is thus a follower of authenticity. Way indicates a path, and a person on the path who has not yet achieved the authentic state. Hearing, contemplation and meditation are all methods we use along the path. During hearing and contemplation logic helps, but logic has to be discarded. Meditative experiences help but again, these have to be discarded. We take a boat to the other shore, and when we reach it, we leave the boat behind. In the same way, we need to follow the path, but recognise that it will ultimately be discarded. At this point we wake up to the authentic presence, the truth.

Heart Sutra Teachings & Meditation, 1 February 2015 - Hong Kong, China

The Heart Sutra or Prajñāpāramitā is the quintessence of the Mahayana teachings. This sutra can protect us from all the problems caused by our deluded conceptions of this mundane world. Our projections lead to action and action to reaction, to create an ordered system: samsara. “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form” gives us the tools to destabilise samsara and find liberation, but we can only experience this emptiness directly through practice. Meditation is a method for us to access the wisdom of emptiness but eventually must itself be deconstructed, just as a boat is abandoned once we reach the other shore.
