The way
If you look at the language of the world and look at the deep meaning, there are many similar things.
"The way" is used in the same sense in the East and the West, and the name Tao of Laozi was born for this reason.
Laozi said, "Let's just say Tao because this thing that I can't say, if I name it, it won't become it."
so the name of Tao has no meaning but, Tao's dictionary meaning is way.
So it fits in with the meaning of the way to find something from the standpoint of those who have not yet seen the truth.
But the path Laozi said is not the one we know.
There is no way in that way. Therefore, those who were obsessed with the idea of only grasping the meaning of the word thought wrongfully thought it meant a place without a path, and said, "Let's go to the mountain and make my way." I was also a person who did such a wrong thing in the name of practice.
so we have our each way but that is not the way we know.
The common people, not the Buddha and the Buddha, are attached like the front and back sides of a coin.
It's not two. It's one.
It is true, though it may be absurd for a person without a religion who doesn't believe anything.
In other words, not only good and evil, but all the other things that we believed to differ greatly in our thoughts are attached to the coin like the front and the back.
In other words, just because the front or back of the coin doesn't suit me, I can't get rid of it completely.
It can be sliced into thin slices, but it can't get rid of new sides.
This is the rule, the world is made like two sides of a coin, different this and that but they are in one.
There is the other side of nothing, neither is nothing we understand in words, but we can't even talk about it if there's something we don't really know, that's what I show you and that's what we've been using all our lives.
Even now, there seem to be many people around the world who give up their precious lives.
Once again, it is clear that all the conflicting things are attached like a coin.
It includes everything of its name, God, Heaven, Buddha, anything of the greatest and most divine in the world.
It is impossible to abandon one side because death is a life and life is also dependent on death, and the only way to become the real owner of that coin is the only way to get rid of it, or you are already the master, so believe yourself and see the truth.
For this very reason, I am showing this one truth by saying that words and writing cannot express the truth.
Words and writings are indescribable, but there is no way to show them without using them. However, if you only deal with the truth in writing without facing each other face to face, most people go to the mountains to find their way.
Zen's real meaning is not to sit for a long time, not to observe the breath or mind, but to participate in the one and only truth.
We're already on our way, but if we take a step, we're off the way.
