The topic came up in a Treeleaf Forum thread about worrying too much about what others think of us ...Well, ultimately there is no "you" there, nor "others" ... so no need for you to worry what others think!
However, even before one gets to such an ultimate Truth ... there's much Wisdom that Shikantaza Practice can offer to free us from opinions, from self judgments, imaginings and the like. Let them go, let them drift from mind!
What's more ... you are a jewel, just as you are! Not a thing to change! (which doesn't mean, however, that you don't have some flaws, my friend, in need of change!
