“See your situation where you are. Purify yourself. Empty yourself. Know yourself. Be truthful. Stand up for what you know and what you don’t know. Become real.” In this episode, Swaha encourages a disciple to drop his know-it-all facade, reminding us all to shed our egos and embrace the truth of who we are.

“Veja a sua situação onde você está. Purifique-se. Esvazie-se. Conheça-se. Seja verdadeiro. Assuma o que você sabe e o que você não sabe. Torne-se real.” Neste episódio, Swaha incentiva um discípulo a deixar de ser  "sabe-tudo", o que nos lembra de deixar de lado o ego e abraçar a verdade sobre quem somos.

Insecurity about how others perceive us and the desire to maintain a certain image can lead to shyness and fear. One of Swaha’s young disciples sought guidance on how to overcome fear and conquer her shyness. He encouraged her to live and take risks because it is by facing ourselves that we are able to break free from our patterns–both the individual and cultural ones–and be true to our hearts. And it is only then that we are able to balance our divine masculine aspects and divine feminine aspects, like Lord Shiva, thus being whole.

Insegurança em relação a como o outro nos percebe e o desejo de manter certa imagem podem nos levar à timidez e ao medo. Uma das discípulas jovens de Swaha procurou orientação para superar o medo e vencer a timidez. Ele a incentivou a viver e a aceitar os riscos, porque é ao encarar a si mesma que uma pessoa consegue se soltar dos padrões – tanto os individuais quanto os culturais – e ser verdadeira com o coração. Somente então pode-se encontrar equilíbrio entre os aspectos masculinos divinos e os femininos divinos, como Shiva, e então ser inteiro ou inteira.

In meditation, one tastes love and peace. But how is it possible to keep those feelings present in one’s daily life? While speaking from his personal experience serving his Master, Swaha addresses his disciple’s question. He talks about the work of a Guru, which is to remind us to listen to our own hearts, diving deep inside, where there is patience, trust, surrender, and non-doing. Being with a Master, one catches the “buddha disease” and relaxes in the process.

Em meditação, experimenta-se amor e paz. Mas como é possível manter esses sentimentos presentes na vida diária? Ao falar de sua experiência pessoal servindo ao seu Mestre, Swaha aborda a pergunta de seu discípulo. Ele fala sobre o trabalho do Guru, que é nos lembrar de escutar o próprio coração, mergulhando fundo dentro de si, onde há paciência, confiança, entrega e um não fazer. Uma pessoa na companhia do Mestre pega a “doença do buda” e relaxa no processo.

Vasant Swaha tells the story of a monk who visited Master Kisu and soon was ready to leave, saying he would go all over to learn the five flavors of Zen. Kisu agreed there were five flavors of Zen and told the monk that there he had only one. The monk asked what that sole flavor was, to which the Master responded. While telling this story, Swaha demonstrates not only how a disciple must be open and receptive to understand, but also how we can benefit from the five flavors of Zen.

Relax. Make sure you are in a comfortable posture. Park your body, stop your mind. Then dive deep focusing on your breath and feel the subtle energy flowing within. Feel yourself. This is the teaching of the Masters: Come back to yourself.
It takes more than reciting the scriptures and burning incense to get to the bottom of life and death and understand your true nature. Find your Master, you will find yourself. Life has happened, death will come, so take the teachings to heart and escape the wheel.

Follow Swaha in this talk, this meditation, in which, drawing from monk Good Star's experience, he brings you closer to your heart and your wisdom, showing the path to no-time, to the truth. Live and enjoy your buddha-nature and you will be courageous, dance free and burdenless. Do not suffer in vain.

In the 5th century, Bodhidharma, a self-realized buddhist, walked from India to China. Initiated by an enlightened woman, the former Indian prince left on a three-year journey across the Himalayas to deliver Buddha's teachings.

Swaha introduces his disciples and friends to the Zen tradition, telling the story of this wild man, known as "The Barbarian," who in China brought life to the ancient scriptures, shook up Emperor Wu with lessons, and sat in a cave for nine years, waiting for a true disciple to come. Among many contributions, Bodhidharma gifted the world with martial arts, which he developed in the Shaolin Temple by combining animal movements and the quietness of meditation.
