(An Excerpt)
TO ILLUMINATE OUR MIND
Master Jun Hong Lu: If we are to condense the Heart Sutra into a single word, that will be ‘To Illuminate’, that is to be in the quest to watch over. Just like how you need to watch over your child.
Why is the word ‘To illuminate’ mentioned in the Heart Sutra? It is exactly like how you illuminate your mind to ensure that it is free from defilements; as all defilements stem from the mind.
Be it the Diamond Sutra or the Heart Sutra, the focus is to watch over your mind with the sole purpose of preventing it from going on the wrong track.
