Welcome to podcast-The mindful Heart.
This is Xin (Zinn). Thank you for your support ! Remember, no matter what the year brings, you are loved and you are strong. Wishing you peace and happiness.

Now The Mindful Heart is listened to in a total of 81 countries, where we read the Diamond Sutra together and take all of you to practice mindful yoga.

Starting in November, the host of the mindful Heart will hold an art exhibition at the centennial campus of Tainan Girls’ Senior High School, inspired by the works of Dutch artist Jan Derk Diekema from Groningen. The opening event will feature a mindfulballet performance, and everyone is warmly invited to attend and show their support.

One of the paintings in this exhibition depicts the Cundi Bodhisattva statue at Zhu Xi Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Taiwan, built during the Ming Dynasty. We look forward to everyone appreciating it. This painting was exhibited in old palaces in Spain and Italy. We welcome friends who support podcast the mindful heart to come and admire the artwork.

This Passage of the Diamond Sutra Emphasizes “Formlessness” and “Non-Attachment to Thoughts” in Practice:
1.Formlessness (Beyond Forms):The essence of enlightenment lies in transcending all forms and not relying on external appearances. Even the Buddha’s form, such as the Thirty-two Marks, is merely a worldly appearance and not the true foundation of enlightenment.
2.Non-Attachment to Thoughts (No Attachment to Thoughts):One must not only let go of attachment to forms but also release the notion of “non-attachment to forms.” Otherwise, becoming attached to the concept of formlessness is still a form of attachment.Practical Insights for Spiritual Practice:Transcending Forms and Concepts:In practice, we should avoid clinging to any form or concept. Whether it is meditation, chanting, or other practices, they should not become mental constraints.
Letting Go of “Non-Attachment”:The wisdom of the Buddha lies in not even being attached to the ideas of formlessness and non-attachment. This leads to complete inner liberation.

Conclusion:

This episode reminds practitioners that the Buddha’s enlightenment does not arise from external forms, nor should we cling to the ideas of formlessness or non-attachment. True enlightenment is found in total inner freedom—freedom from forms, concepts, and even the notion of non-attachment itself. This is the path to achieving supreme enlightenment.

Let’s conclude with a guided mindfulness meditation-Learning about your feelings May it bring peace and blessings to everyone.
