Continue on the theme of "Silent Illumination - The Method of No Method", this day retreat will introduce an important Sutra which is one of the major doctrine resources of the Silent Illumination tradition. A day of silent reflection on “The original-arising [purity] of the causal ground of all Tathagatas relies on the complete illumination of [intrinsic] enlightenment, which is pure [in essence] and permanently free from ignorance.” The term "perfect enlightenment," as it is taught in this text, refers to an enlightenment that is not limited in scope. It is also not an enlightenment that is attained exclusively from any partial aspect of the Buddhist doctrine... It is an enlightenment that can accept and explain all the various aspects of the Buddhist doctrine
A day practice with silent sitting, mindful walking practice, Dharma sharing/reflection on 'The Method of No Method: Silent Illumination'.
