Bankei Yotaku

Built from the writings and philosophies associated with Bankei Yotaku.

"The Unborn Buddha-mind is fundamentally endowed with all things."

Draws on the writings and philosophies associated with Bankei Yotaku, a 17th-century Japanese Zen master. Bankei taught in a clear, direct style, emphasizing the 'Unborn Buddha-mind' inherent in everyone. His approach encouraged people to recognize their original, unstained nature, free from the entanglements of conceptual thought and attachment. He believed enlightenment was not something to be attained, but to be realized as one's natural state. An AI companion built from his teachings tends to help with simplifying complex spiritual ideas, finding inner peace, and letting go of unnecessary striving.
