Butterfly's dream.

-


"One day, a man named Jang Ja dreamed that he became a butterfly. 

I loved flying around, so when I woke up, I had this suspicion. 

"Did I become a butterfly in my dream as a human being?" Or 

Did I become a butterfly in my dream?"


This is Jang Ja's “The butterfly's dream,” which is often cited in modern times.

Whether it's a human or a butterfly, it doesn't matter at all. 


It's a dream! A dream!!! only you need to wake up! That's all.

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.

But literally old habits have been built up for almost a lifetime, so it takes your constant effort to some point...
