How Buddhists' view the Subconscious (w Better Sound Quality)

In this episode, Master Heng Chang introduces listeners and viewers to the Temporary Home Leaving Program, which is coming up in November/December 2022, in preparation for the World Peace Gathering. In this program, people have the opportunity to temporarily live as mendicants, as temporary nuns, and monks. Those who join this program have the opportunity to practice deeply on the vertical path, that of altruism, and of going deep into the ocean of their own mind, rather than be engaged in everyday, and horizontal, life. The Western notion of subconscious is referred to in Buddhism as Storage consciousness, or Alaya consciousness. Essentially, this refers to all that is in the basement of our consciousness, in the darkness. This consciousness is always there as an energetic seed which may awaken and manifest in the future when the conditions are propitious. This is also called cause and effect. The Buddha spent some time by the banks of the Ganges River in India. He taught that the river never reveals what is running underneath, in the deep current under the surface. The water is always flowing in the river, but you can never fathom that bottom of it. Alaya consciousness is much the same. In modern psychology, there is an emphasis on looking at the past as a means to heal what is in the subconscious. In Buddhism, the idea is to shine the light from the upper realms into the lower ones. This can be done in the practice of meditation. While Buddhism doesn’t use the same terms as does modern psychology, essentially it is the ego that builds the basement, and therefore cannot help to clear it up. Through meditation, one can activate the intuition, or what is referred to as Prajna wisdom, and learn to look at things in the basement without getting involved in it. The lesson is to learn to be intuitive without getting involved in things. When we shine the light in this deep undercurrent, then we can be free. Buddha literally translates as “Enlightened or Awakened”. Therefore, Buddha means “one who enlightens or awakens”. This is the same as looking from the Buddha Mind, and from the Knowing that is deep within each of us. The Buddha taught that it is like we are in a dream, and our job is to awaken from that dream state, so that we can be liberated and free from the darkness that is the Alaya consciousness. ---- For classes and more information on Master Heng Chang (Thay Hang Truong): www.compassheart.com Contact us via email: info@compassheart.com Soundtrack: A New Beginning from Bensounds.com
