"When you become a zen master you have to let go of all that stuff" Is perceiving self as a zen master considered an objective assessment? In which case what are the qualifications for making such an objective assessment in a way that would not trap others in false assertions?
No one has written a comment.. Strange... Ok let's change that. Maybe no one is brave enough? If so why so? Am I brave then? Or stupidly confident? Or a bit of both; stupidly brave yet bravely confident?
Forgive me, but, what is the diagnosis of the weirdly placed laughter? I’ve known someone, who is not a master of zen, who did this out of place laughter. It was explained to me by a neurosurgeon that it sometimes can be a symptom of early stage dementia. I am not suggesting thats the case here, and I’ve watched many of Doshin’s videos, yet, it is rampent. I’m just asking the question that a non-post-modernist thinks, but wont ask. Manners
Once you see things as they are and the ego is partially (potentially fully) dissolved. The mental trappings of the human condition become very funny, as one sees how ridiculous it all really is. I've seen other enlightened (or partially enlightened) people laugh in exactly the same way :)
Thank you for the reminder DoShin. I have nothing but genuine and deep gratitude for you and everything you do. Susanna 🙏🏻
Thank you, that was beautiful. We live in an interesting relative time, with some many new exciting doorways opening to absolute truth.
