2018-05-18 | zen lecture

 

  Briefly, have to be good posture with well-muscled suitable for a monk. Be well-muscled,

    that is to say physical practicing by yourself.

 

 *  From the beginning, zazen is not content of sitting or lying down.

    It is say that have to open your eyes about sitting or lying down.

    Therefore, never persist on the writing of 'Only sitting'.

    What some call, our living is namely faith, and all our living have to be religion.

 * Someone said to me, why do you practice zazen? Zazen does not what to do.

    It is a practicing to become intimate with oneself.

    I say heartily, zazen is the best way for understanding oneself.

 

 * Actually, physical practicing will be enlightenment itself.

    Our form is our own spirit. Our attitude is Buddha’s way for its own sake.

 * In other words, it is nothing to get the beginning of enlightenment or the ending of practicing.

    It is that never have to have a memory like awakening or done practicing.

 

 * Buddhist teaching is our own posture. In the technical term,

    to be dignified manners is Buddhist teaching exactly and our manners are the doctrines of faith.

 

 * Sometimes, Buddhist teaching end up to principles.

    It end up to be thoughts or to be talking with smooth-tongued.

    Those are not Zen. Buddhist teaching is our own posture.
