Taste of enlightenment

-

 


It's a taste that we know so well that it's easy to forget.

It's like water that's the basis of all food and is like life, 

But doesn't value it that much, 

Also it's definitely tasty, but we think it's "not tasty (or has no taste.)" 

It's a common but precious taste.


Therefore, as those who know the pain of thirst know 

the importance of a drop of water and the true taste of it, 


All the hardships in life lead us back to that taste.

After waking up - 4

Question: Dear Nim, A question about after wake up and old habits disappearing. How does one recognize the old habits that are left by oneself? The habit of ‘care’ I can break because you can see it. Now with the suffering gone, life is much more easy going and I may easy delude myself. With kind regards, Answer: It's simple. If you feel uncomfortable for no reason in your daily life, you are lost in thought.  You can quickly see such uncomfortable thoughts, but good thoughts are not easily known because they are attached without knowing themselves.  So knowing that good thoughts are not different from bad ones is the way out of the long habit.
