Heart Sutra
Heart Sutra is the book for learning the foundation ability of the highest level of Buddhism, Buddhisatva system.
Heart Sutra is a guide for blind consciousness to be awakened.
Being awakened means being out of suffering eternally. This means to understand and be aware of Heart. Heart does not mean the material heart. Heart means the true force of life, the true force of your life and the true force of every life.
Heart is the power to aware, and observing the heart is the way to clean out suffering from its cause. Heart has the potential to create unlimited different types of blindness or unlimited joy.
To observe anything completely means to understand 3 parts, essence, function and goal
The essence of Heart is the power to be aware also called true consciousness.
Heart has 4 functions.
Hidden consciousness. The Hidden consciousness is all the information about our lives from our past. This includes all the causes for why we are as we are now.
“I” consciousness. This is the feeling that we are separate from everything else, This is why we are aware that we are us and not somebody else.
Sub – consciousness (5 senses) The sub consciousness happens automatically. For example we feel that we are hungry or tired or pain. This information does not need to pass through our thinking. We are directly aware of it through our 5 senses.
Brain Consciousness. Is the awareness of thoughts, language and ideas, it is for memorizing, organizing, calculating and deciding.
The goal of Heart is also called intention.
Our intention is the cause behind all the different kinds of suffering we experience. Often we have a very hard time using our brain to understand our intentions so this is why suffering is still a mystery for us. But simply if our intentions are from a blind cause we create all kinds of blindness and suffering.
Heart Sutra is for helping us purify the deepest layer of our intentions so that all awareness can go into the direction of unlimited joy. This is called being an awakened consciousness, before this stage is called blind consciousness. The journey from blind to awakened consciousness has many different levels and tricks.
Awakened consciousness can aware of other lives, because they know that every life is alike and they are perfectly aware of themselves.
Awakened consciousness do not have suffering anymore so they do not have fear and this is where true self – confidence comes from. True self – confidence is being able to see life in the bright side eternally.
Wisdom is the power to be kind and caring to help other life also be awakened.
