Nagging
My mother, she is my best and worst teacher and very first teacher. She always worries about me with great affection, but she can nag me without caring about my feelings anytime.
In that sense, Zen master is like a mother, because the main lesson is pointing out, nagging, and scolding things that are simple but don't want to do.
So most children who grow up listening to it and learning it grow up to be wise men.
Nagging creates good habits, and habits change to something memorable, but there is a reversal of perception through repeated teaching, as Buddha did in his lifetime.
Continued and repetitive teaching, with wit and humor there would be a never-so-boring nagging, but for a person who repeats the same story every day, it is quite difficult and tedious.
So Zen Buddhism refers to Zen Master as a writer, which is actually nagging but a little soft, anyway, nagging may be nagging, but it teaches us through fairy tales or through certain situations that it makes, and in that sense, it's like our mother.
Nagging is to hear from others what we already know, such as "Blow it in the room"or " wash your hands" is that, Also It's some as the alarm sound of the clock is in the same vein, so we don't like the sound, but we set the alarm again every night to go to work tomorrow.
But, the funny thing is people wake up knowing the date with their lover or Something important day for them, even before the alarm goes off. like you became time, That's probably what we nagged at ourselves before we went to bed.
Anyway, we also pay a lot of money to buy nags from teachers, doctors, coaches, everywhere.
The point is, as mentioned earlier, a repetition of what we already know.The same is true of the moment of enlightenment, which is not something that can be done with the head, which may not be expressed in any way, but the original inside of me is revealed without my knowledge and just becomes so.
Like this, nags are very important. we say good dharma talking is like rain,
They will always give us a lecture like it's raining, until the wrong habit disappears . Good habits are very hard to learn. but a bad habit is removed from the mother's nagging, it is like a natural appearance. also It does not come from outside.
I will constantly nag and say the same things to those who want to meet me and find themselves that enlightenment is not something to learn, and you will eventually find it yourself.
The answer is clear. If you don't want to hear it, do it right away. It can't be easier.
However, prejudice, habits and stereotypes so far only make the path difficult.
Someday the nagging will be the sound of salvation waking me up in a deep nightmare.
Zen Monk of Korea has said to his disciples "Die studying" all his life, If something dies, it would be The noises that surround you.
