Why Did Bodhidharma? – with Jesse Cardin
Why did Bodhidharma come from the West? —The Blue Cliff Record
What is the heart of any big question? Our questions might be based on erroneous assumptions, such that beneath it is way too much knowing. The mind resists uncertainty, wanting to fill in the blanks. Even our cells like predictability ... but we are swimming in a sea of uncertainty.
Ask the universe any question and it will answer, though it may not take the form you expect or plan for. The answer is larger than the question!
2 + 2 = orange
Our questions are much smaller than what's on offer, what's possible as an answer—the whole universe might be doing something through me. One true thing is all it takes to open the body of reality.
