Talk 8 of 8. A summary of living the Shin Buddhist perspective, and 'taking it home'. The Shin Buddhist path arises out of failure… but what fails? It’s the failure of delusion to get what it wants. When we see this rightly, what happens? We move our trust to what is reliable – our connection with ‘the golden light’, ‘Buddhaness’. And we remove our trust from what isn’t worthy of it – our ‘calculating mind’ that wants to get what it wants. Emerging from the failure of the ego to produce the desired self comes spiritual death and spiritual rebirth. For experienced Dharma practitioners.
