Thread: learn Zen with Ego

    learn Zen with Ego

    Some people maybe really want to learn about Zen, that's good.

    But, remember, that the wanting feeling to "learn" about Zen, it's also an ego, while in Zen we drop that ego.

    And it's also the same with the person who feel that his self has understand some thing about Zen. This guy will think, "oh, I understand about this".

    If we do that, then there is a feeling like "this is my understanding". oops :shock: be careful, there is an ego again here...

    It's also the with the guy who is really busy to get enlightened. It's not wrong. But, want to be enlightened is also an ego.

    Now,
    If the ego has been dropped, are we become like a plant who don't have an ego? No... of course not.

    We have a brain, we think, and some times we use ego too, but this time, we are not controlled again by our ego, and in every day life we change that ego become love and compassion.


    Morning and night running for enlightenment.
    Wasting time for nothing.
    One day, Every thing will vanish like dust.
    What you're looking for?
    What you're trying to hold?
    Like a melting ice
    when the form disappears,
    a thousand form appears.
    .... (the next words, you have too fill it by your self).

    Gassho, Mujo.
