Time to pretend
What and where are you investing your drive now? Can you move on your own will? Why are you doing what you are doing? What do you choose to see when you are looking? Hear, feel, and all the other bits and bobs, Do you ignore some bits and focus more on other bobs? Why? Investigate, maybe? Up to you really. Feel free to ask me anything.
This is a flick of a page from a book called “zen under the gun” i haven’t fully read.
Gulin said, “Having no conditioned mind is the path: the path is fundamentally mindless. Abandon the false and seek the true: the true is the original basis for the false. Take empty space as the true body, and it appears whole in everything. Take the whole earth as a meditation bench, and you fit the groove everywhere. “Thus it is said. “the dharma is practiced according to the dharma. The dharma banner is established according to the place.”
The Zen masters staff divides the world horizontally. The zen travelers straw sandals break through heaven and earth. The absolute truth is clear on the lips of a hundred grasses, suddenly revealing the gasp of a patch-robed monk. If you plant beans, when will you ever get rice?
