...Why we sometimes suffering from past memory?
Why some of past memories still make us suffering?
I had unhappy childhood and the historical memories kept me feeling pain even I became an adult.
To remove the pain I majored psychology at University and I was desperate to be healed.
The memories overlapped in front of me and made me agony even though it is past many decades ago.
The psychological knowledge were not able to remove the painful memories but it could make me sure why I felt unhappy.
I thought if I know every mental functions,causes and results,brain works,memory works I would be able to heal my mind.
So I tried and tried,kept studying,reading books...
But vivid pain was getting clear against my will that make them fade out.
One day when I was reading a book about brain, the writer did meditation and wrote that he could feel easy.
With doubt I tried...it was 8 or 9 years ago when I first sat and had one session of meditation.
Since then I have been doing zen meditation which way of Soutosyu-zen (曹洞宗 坐禅)
I participated temple zen meditation course for 8 years.
Every September first weekends Soutosyu-young monks held 2 days course zen training in Kawagoe city Japan.
They taught me how to do,what is basic theory, the manner, the rules.
At a moment when I was sitting in the middle of a session,I don't know when was it but I found the sharp pain was gone in my mind when the memories popped out and spreading the wings.
There was no physical pain but only the memories.
The memories had been stabbed like a knife on my mind for almost 30 years but after I just 5 years or less of zen training which was on and off irregularly held,it removed the stabbing knife.
I can't answer for my own questions, "Why we sometimes suffering from past memory?"
"Why some of past memories still make us suffering?"
If someone has same question please try a meditation.
If you do you can find the way, to reach to an answer...
