Alan Watts has been a great influence in my life. I can't overstate how mind blowing I found his books when I discovered them over twenty five years ago. But where he really hits home, is when speaking. Alan loved to talk and he possessed an enormous talent for communication, written and spoken. This is one of my favourite recordings, and one that speaks to me most clearly...Listening to his voice so many decades after he vibrated these words,in another time and place, I find deeply moving experience.
Luminous mind (also, "brightly shining mind," "brightly shining citta") (Sanskrit prakṛti-prabhāsvara-citta, Pali pabhassara citta) is a term attributed to the Buddha in the Nikayas. The mind (Citta) is said to be "luminous" whether or not it is tainted by mental defilements.
