In this Heart Sutra, Venerable Guan Cheng talks about the True mind and False mind. What is true mind and what is false mind? I think true mind is the mind that never changes, that is bright and pure. In my opinion, false mind is based on the type of body we resides in, be it male or female or race. When we were born, we have been conditioned based on the family and country we were born.
This false mind always think that the more we have, the happier we become. If we think further, do we own the things or do the things own us? Some things like diamond last a long long time but human only last at most 120 years old and not many reach 120 years old. This identity, this body is not permanent. It is subjected to aging and death. Due to this false mind, we created bad karma due to greed, anger and delusion. The more you acquire, the less freedom you have.
Due to this false mind, it causes us to go through rebirths.
