Where are you?

 

“Where is it?” Anyone can answer that question if it is intuitive without fancy speech or extensive knowledge.

It's very rare to ask, but it's kind of like, "Where am I?" or "Who am I?"

In response to this kind of question, the Buddha has consistently taught one answer with various tools for more than 40 years.   

If you put yourself in the position of the person who teaches it, you'll see the difficulty of pointing to something too simple.

The quickest and clearest way is to point directly and point out "this!" is the end of the game at once if you just look at the point without going through the listener's own thoughts. 

However, such cases are very rare and are already wrong if the brain is mobilized to understand all the situations it points to.

It would be hard for anyone unless they are like a baby who smiles at strangers and eats what he gives right away.

This is not just our fault, it is the evils of our education, which have analyzed it in a short time when we meet a problem and focused on how to benefit me, but perhaps it is a disorder of all mankind with brains.

But very rarely, there are those who pass through the first point immediately. They are people who have long aspired to do it, or who are tired of doing so, and have no power to think anymore.

Although I have said this many times, Buddha did not see the fruits of enlightenment after six years of hard work, but when he gave up all his work and put it down, he suddenly confirmed that there was an unknown beginning in the twinkling of dawn stars.

Why do I need knowledge and intelligence to find me and why do I need to think about it?

When I'm looking for something I'm not, I also use something called "head." Because it's an option that's been fitted from using this body, but I myself am not something to look back on.

For those who think, "Isn't he just trying to seduce me with one word or another and ask for money?" They try to talk through boring and complex work that melts stereotypes that they've built in their brains so far.

Just in case, don't worry about that. If I need money, I'm going to go out on the street and sell German sausages without doing anything like this. 

Now, if I were to think back to the first question for a second, when I know why what I've learned from knowledge is not worth it, and that realization is a really simple matter of "who am I?" 

Without hesitation, you can guess the great mercy of Zen master, who shows you right away who you are, either with a loud sound like a lion or with a big blow.

So it has been said that the great Zen monk's temple was poor from old times. It would have been even more so because it was not something that could be sold for money.

First come the sharp shouts of the one who woke up and the one who was determined to take a big blow! 

It's not something you can sell for money, also It's not something you can buy for money.

This is as common as air or sunlight, but without this there is no life for me. 

Still, would you put this behind you, hoping for a mansion that would disappear when you fell asleep?

Recall the first question again, isn't it nonsense for both the questioner and the answer?    

Sometimes advertising phrases come as Zen's teaching says. 

'Just do it!' 'What else?'
