- Bankei Yōtaku 盤珪永琢 (1622-1693) was a Japanese Rinzai Zen master, and the abbot of the Ryōmon-ji and Nyohō-ji. He is best known for his talks on the Unborn as he called it.
Bankei was an immensely popular and influential teacher who spoke directly. avoiding sutras and ceremony. He adhered to no particular school and his teaching was remarkably individual and raw, of the essence of Zen. His concern was with the truth as an immediate experience, not with a systematic approach to a distant goal. He preached what he had discovered in his own experience-"the unborn" or "the birthless Buddha-mind"-and he spoke in plain language that anyone could understand.
These selections of pointers from Bankei are taken from various texts and translations.

"Everyone here is a Buddha."
📿🙏🍃🔭✨🌙
100% Everyone has the ‘capacity’ for God-realisation/Buddha-Nature realisation, but not everyone is at that level of awareness.
Thank you
These words are simple yet overwhelming. I think I am closer to understanding because of them. Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you for all the readings. Right now I don’t have the words to express my gratitude perfectly. Your contribution to spiritual inspiration and deep understanding of one dharma across religions and teachers is beyond compare. Once again, my bow to you in deepest gratitude.
Thank you! This video is my favourite of yours so far, mainly due to the content, but also because of your peaceful method of reading. I searched for bankei's unborn recently but this is much better than what I found! Thank you TH-cam algorithm for that. I'm glad I subscribed also 😁 Chur!

Thanks a lot. Bankei's aprroach is very atrractive to me.
Best reading voice on youtube, very professional and easy to follow for me though i have issues with attention
Btw could you do some pureland texts as well?
💚🙏💚
Finally Bankei is unbirthed...and as the unborn may be deliberately heard resonating in the Great Hall of the Ancients...
💐💚🙏🏻💚💐

🥰👌🙌✨✨✨
Just started studding Bankei
❤✨🙏
Yes, the unborn and the unbecome are in the Pāli canon I believe? But what about the “deathles? I believe it was used in early Buddhism as a synonym for nirvana nibbāna? What do you think and why because in early Buddhism nibbāna meant that if it is obtained a person does not have to reincarnate and is liberated from samsāra.

Is the Buddha mind that where there is no intention? The source of the aspect of all our sense and nonsense experiences? The happenings before the thought arises of an I that is intending to listen or owning the listening faculty? Is that all it is?🙏
Sounds like a good overview. However, it is not a "thing", so whatever someone says about it or defines it as, it is not IT. It can only be intuitively realised - well beyond words and definitions that are only pointers.
theres certenainly apresence otherwise we wouldnt be talking ,just pure presence undefinable that we take for granted ,
Yes. No intention only action without any purpose.
Venerable, Everything (including our 5 aggregates) arise from and dissolve into Pure Consciousness, which is imperishable; so is it right to say that this is the luminous ground of the Unborn Undying Buddha Mind, where we all are just manifestations/appearances of this luminosity?
With much love, it's best to say nothing. Avoid any tendency to reification or trying to sort it out intellectually and simply rest in Awareness. All your doubts and questions will then clarify and dissolve. 🧡
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu 🙏
Is when your parents gave you life an accurate translation?
Yes. We born as Buddha but become other than thy.
I love Bankei. But - how are we to know what he knows apart from just saying ‚i am the Buddha mind ‚. ?
I really want to know what music you use for these videos. Please tell me? (This particular video does not have it, but others do.) Thank you, with infinite love.
It's so wide and varied. You can generally find the details listed under each video.
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you so much.

I see it
Just open your eyes and see what’s already there
(Or not there - which she said doesn’t need to be said)
If you lose the thread by following thoughts that arise, this manner of speaking will sounds like a riddle with hidden symbolic meanings.
But it’s plain English IF you follow it the whole way.
That’s the reason it takes concentration.
🙏🏻🪷 warm greetings. They say I’m nothing without God. I remember my teachers Dharma… “Nothing” matters! Searching for the Unborn within myself. Sitting, Sitting, Sitting (Zazen) 🪷🙏🏻 Nikko
