Title: Simple yet profound
Review: I own many books on Buddhism, and while they have all been very helpful, as someone prone to extreme intellectual gymnastics and severe existential doubt I can get lost in the rich yet sometimes densely written works of many teachers, the lengthy descriptions of the suffering that practitioners confront and the varied practices one applies. This approach can sometimes cause me to lose sight of the awakened state, the entire point of the path. Bankei cuts right to the core of the Buddhist teachings and shows his audiences the tremendous freedom and bliss of the Unborn Buddha Mind. "All things are perfectly resolved in the Unborn", Bankei famously realized upon his initial awakening. He also goes to great pains to again and again remind us that we already are what we seek. "There are no unenlightened people here", he says in one of this series of recorded talks, and we would all do well to remember that. Inspiring and illuminating.
