Essence of the real
So far, quite a few people, both East and West, have been obsessed with wrong Buddhist views.
In front of a large Buddha statue, we are hoping for something, hoping for fantasy, yearning for the future, appreciating Buddha's words, and wasting our lives.
The words left by Buddha are so simple that they cannot be woven into a book. What Buddha said in his lifetime is only enlightenment.
Nevertheless, we cannot easily access the teachings of enlightenment. This is nonsense.
A few days ago, I saw an interview with a Zen monk, who seemed to be quite well known, explaining with solemn expressions and words how to make meditation to several foreign disciples at a fairly colorful and well-prepared temple and the etiquette of Buddhist temples.
People had a peaceful look on their faces, with shy expectations, before the meditation lessons began, and they were like children who were taking classes for the first time at a school.
A long time ago I was like them. I've had so many days, and I've gone back to life, and when pain comes back, I'm going to... I sat there like that, not knowing what I was looking for even.
Again, the interview with the Zen master began, and he said his goal was to gradually but steadily realize it through the daily practice of self-reflection and meditation.
Unfortunately, this is what we generally think of as a 180 degree false common sense involving Buddhism.
It should go 180 degrees more to be normal, that, even not sure.
Because, the starting point of 0 degrees and the arrival point of 360 degrees are the same, but totally different.
The two round dots are at the same starting point, and they are the same shape as the fact that they have already turned around a big circle, but they can never be the same, same same but different.
Zen's not important to have the performance of drawing a Zen circle accurately, like Kung Fu with a brush bigger than your body, but to point right at this point.
0 degrees and 360 degrees are the same at the point, but different, but the same.
It's as if heaven and hell are in the same place here.
For this reason, Zen is easy and difficult, also it is difficult and easy.
Similar things are fake, and even if there are hundreds of millions of similar things, they cannot be exchanged for the real one.
If it were me, it would be even more so would it be.
It's like selling German haxen at a restaurant and selling it with chicken or turkey instead of using the original pork.
It may be natural to be forced to use a second-best plan because they have lost its essence, such as haxen made of chicken legs or turkey legs,
But it is not haxen, even if it was more delicious than the real haxen.
it is fake and out of essence.
They won't taste it until they really go to Germany by chance and meet someone kind and see the real haxen.
What's more worrisome is the restaurant owner, who didn't know what the ingredients of the essence were and only focused on how to make haxen, and the customers who believed the fake haxen to be real and were stained with the taste.
But I see hope from a Korean rapper's song, "Really recognizes the real."
Because our nature is real.
