Idiot Zen

when you see
the freshly plowed sand
run across it
shouting “oh no!—oh no!”
like an idiot

A kind reminder from Thich Nhat Hahn.
So far i agree with alsmost everything he says, i didn't really notice esoteric bs. It's more a philosophy.
I just don't agree with his view on perpetrators and pirates.
What i like about Buddhism - the critical approach.
Continued quote:
"...the kind of faith we cannot lose, because it is not based on ideas or beilefs but on experienced reality"

Das Tso-ch’an I von Ch’ang-lu Tsung-tse – Prinzipien der Sitzmeditation – Zazen

Das Tso-ch’an I („Prinzipien der Sitzmeditation“) aus der Nördlichen Sung-Periode (960-1127) gilt als früheste Meditationsanleitung und beeinflusste viele der nachfolgenden Manuale. Ch’ang-lu Tsung-tse (Lebensdaten unbekannt) verfasste im Jahre 1103 den ältesten erhaltenen Mönchskodex, und obwohl das Tso-ch’an I sich ursprünglich nicht darin findet, wird es gerne dessen Autor zugeschrieben. Bei dieser Methode werden aufziehende Gedanken einfach beobachtet, bis sie von selbst verschwinden (das Vergehen von Gedanken und der darauf bezogenen Aufmerksamkeit war bereits bei Shen-hui als „Nicht-Denken“ bezeichnet worden). Nach dem Sitzen gelte es, die meditative Ruhe aufrechtzuerhalten und so jederzeit willentlich wieder in samâdhi eintreten zu können (ting-li).

"From the bottom of your heart, you play a melody on the harp with no strings.

How would it be possible to grasp the moonlight shining in the empty sky?"

-Tong'an Changcha, Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depth

I completed a 7 day intensive #Zen retreat today ("sesshin").

I'm not finished in my contemplative practice, but a couple wonderfully profound glimpses on this retreat remind me:

The #Buddhist terms "no self" and "emptiness" and "no mind" — those aren't beliefs. They're words which are expressive of an experience, one that's matter-of-factly before words.

.
_____

"no self" is from the Pali *anatta*

"emptiness" is from Sanskrit *śunyatā*

and "no mind" translates the Japanese *mushin* (無心)

And here it is, your moment of zen.
