What is enlightenment?

4 Zen Responses

Enlightenment cannot be conveyed in words

I feel like it's something I can't convey in words.
However, if I had to say it, I think it would be to know how good and evil, profit and loss, likes and dislikes, and necessary thoughts, such value judgments peculiar to humans do not exist, and that they continue to be given and saved.

You'll know the fact that the six roots are felt from our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and how we don't recognize it, and that we have no self at all.

Even though this is the case from birth, by adding value judgments peculiar to humans to that, it will probably disappear as enlightenment.

Right now, it's just the way it is. I keep touching it so much that I don't even feel like I'm watching it.
It's not about thinking. Knowing your true self can be called enlightenment.

✨ However, this is just the way it is.

You're looking at these characters right now.
At this time, without knowing anything, my whole body and soul, it just happened.
The original state of a human being. ❝ Nature ❞ I'll say it's the first zero step 👣 before you start trying to do something with your heart.
Even now, I don't even know I'm watching; I'm just looking at it and nothing else.
If you use your thoughts, information in your brain will flourish and you will overlook it..
So, if you can't take a break from your favorite activities, you won't know “there.”
That was before we took the first step. Before thinking. before recognition.
I only do zazen meditation to prove that.
Nothing is happening in my mind, it looks like there are no pickups.
It seems that while all consciousness and perception are poured into it, there is nothing else, and not even thoughts have arisen.
It seems like they are just supposed to meet, without anything before or before.
While I was here, I must have forgotten this place and myself.
Humans “have facts in the beginning,” and at the beginning of their encounter with things, there are no good or bad things, just “that's all.”
What we are meeting at that time and on the spot is just that, and nothing else. If there is anything else, it is a by-product of thought or an additive.
It looks like they added something “different” like an ice cream topping in response to the facts.
Look at how this body looks at things, and while being with them, they don't even take them up or recognize them.
You're looking at these characters right now, and you don't even know your eyes.
After ruling out everything, it just became ❝ and ❞ was in these letters.
Even if it doesn't happen, the characters you unknowingly touch can (be) functioned into this body and mind.
Not only the letters, but the room's lights, sounds, scents, and breathing.
Even though everything is there, it only appears as a state before recognition rises.
Even though you don't want it or ask for it, your body and mind are fully automatically poured into what you perceive, and this automatic work.
I am that I am
This is the story of how the mind and body handled it before division due to recognition or separation such as analysis occurred.
One step before starting “intentional” activities. This is step zero.
It's about seeing for yourself what humans are like before thinking, judgment, and discernment.
What's going on.
Feelings and Perception.
My body and mind have been in touch with things even before I even think about it.
At birth, they are in close contact with the world without conditions.
You may not be able to compartmentalize the world and yourself before you think.

“Watch the way you don't see it”

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

“Enlightenment” can be obtained by destroying affliction disorder and intellectual disability, which are obstacles to understanding, by accumulating the two resources of wisdom and fortune in Buddhism.

This state of affairs is also called victory and wisdom, or knowledge of everything, such as quantitative knowledge, such as true knowledge, etc., but it is thought to be a state where the truth has been clearly perceived while understanding emptiness in actual quantity.

This state of affairs is expressed by expressions that seem contradictory at first glance, such as “see in a way that you don't see.”

For us ordinary people, manifestation has a tendency to capture it as if there is an entity of something itself beyond the manifestation we are aware of, and even if the ascetic practice progresses, we enter into infidelity, and experience emptiness, etc., then we return to the original world, and when we see what is being expressed, it still inevitably causes us to be caught as if there is an entity.

However, as the practice of dual sustenance progresses, that tendency diminishes.

Even if you move away from Sanmai, knowledge that you understand emptiness in relation to the manifestation of the original world to some extent is called hindsight, but due to repetition of emptiness in samamai, etc., and emptiness exercises in subsequent knowledge after coming out of samurai, it eventually leads to understanding the actual quantity of emptiness, and by annihilating intellectual disability, it is possible to reach enlightenment.

Being caught up in reality in manifestation is thought to be a state of being aware of all the truth even though there is no trace of it.

I want to make steady efforts to practice ascetic practices towards enlightenment.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

After all, I haven't realized it, so I don't know what kind of situation it is. It's just about thinking about enlightenment from the Buddha's teachings, which were enlightened.

Among them, what is still important is the theory of cause and effect. Everything has a cause. All things exist due to various causes and relationships. And it's impermanent, and it changes all the time. This world is a world made up of such relationships. When you know that and accept this world as it is, you can get rid of all suffering.

The present situation is the result of causes from the past. If you look at the current situation correctly, you can see various causes from the past. If we do that, I see, we can accept that it was unavoidable for the current situation to become this way.
Also, we can see what the future will be like due to the current situation. In order to make the future a good future, we can see what good causes should be added to the current situation. If we do that, we will change the future to a good future by adding a good cause to the current situation, or, for example, planting the seeds of that flower in the current situation so that flowers will bloom in the future.
If you do that, you can live a life that is fun even now that you are planting seeds, and a fun life where flowers bloom in the future.

As for the direction of enlightenment, is this the state of affairs?
I don't know the correct answer.
Let's explore enlightenment together.
