This talk is inspired by Ju Mipham’s Second Reliance: Rely on the meaning and not on the words. Here Sokuzan ties in many of the Mahayana teachings like the famous Zen metaphor of “the finger pointing at the moon”, Atisha’s slogan “of the two, keep the principle witness”, Nagarguna’s “cage of your afflictions” and “consciousness-only” teachings of Vasubandhu.
