The void which cannot be fathomed or measured | What Mind actually is (Live Satsang)

What is mind? If you get to the bottom of this one word, that's actually enough. A profound exploration of Huang Po's teaching: "All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are the One Mind, and nothing else... Besides which nothing exists." Live Satsang with Q&A on the void, emptiness vs form, the Noumenon, Self-inquiry, and why there cannot be two kinds of awareness.
