Dry cognition cannot help your life
Even if you understand all the Buddha’s speech, if you cannot demonstrate this understanding when called upon, it is worth nothing. Dry cognition cannot help your life.

End of this world means beginning of the world. You must understand that, ok?
So we must find our true seed, then only help this world.
Enlightenment is believing in yourself. Enlightenment is finding your seed. But your job is not over yet. Your mind must become strong enough to be totally wise and compassionate moment to moment in any situation.
Enlightenment is not special; It means just let go, just now. So we call that “Don’t Know." Don’t Know means not attached to thinking.
Attaining my true self simply means moment to moment I keep a correct situation, correct relationship, and correct function in this world. I function clearly in this universe to save all beings.
All human beings have possessions. But why do you obtain and keep these things?
Are they only for your own pleasure, or do they help you to help others?
This is a very important point.
These days we often hear people say, “I no longer recognize my world.”

Change is occurring at levels beyond our old understanding, change that we cannot control. We are facing change beyond change.
If you have this category called helping people you can’t help anyone. It’s like if you’re a parent of a baby or a toddler and you hear them crying in the middle of the night you don’t sit there and say 'how can I help this person?'
The Buddha taught that human beings' original mistake is perceiving ourselves as separate entities.
How do we awaken from the illusion of separateness?
