Where the heart rests

Wanting to feel safe probably means there are times when you don't feel at ease.
The mind is impermanent, and emotions change over time.
There are causes for feelings to occur, and there is also a cause for extinction.
Peace of mind and worry are the results. If you want to change the outcome, you can change the cause.
Also, even when it is difficult to change the cause, for the time being, once the cause is known, the way the results are visible changes from an unknown monster to a natural phenomenon.
For example, no matter how many worries people have, when they think about something else, their worries disappear,
I only feel bad when I'm thinking about something I'm worried about.
The cause of thought produces the result that it is an emotion that is “not safe.”
The analogy is bad, but even in the US military, which is constantly fighting against terrorists, soldiers on vacation can take a vacation.
Window glass can be protected by closing shutters only when a typhoon hits.
Zazen meditation is a soldier's vacation, and nembutsu is a shutter door.
Your mind doesn't choose a place, and you can let your mind take a break whenever you like, even if it's just a few seconds.
Also, just knowing that a typhoon is approaching your heart is better than being hit without knowing it.
Note, in Buddhism, there is a way to be saved through faith, but there is also a way to understand it with your head and be convinced.

How did you like the colors? Was it a clear golden color? Or was it a reassuring brown?
How is the scent? refreshing? is it fragrant?
So what's the taste? sweet? delicious? or is it too shy?
There are so many words running through my head. Throw it away.

The color is exactly when the color beam emanating from the tea and Mike's eyes merge with Picon. The scent is when the scent that came from the tea and Mike's nose quickly merged. The taste is when the tea and Mike's mouth are combined with the chapon.

The moment I put tea in my mouth, I thought, “Oh, it's delicious!” Now you are saved. Conversely, “!” But they have been saved. There, “I want to drink more!” or “If I were you, I could brew better!” Since you take your mind one step further, something gets stuck in your heart.

When it comes to what you notice at zazen sessions, it's like, “Oh, it's delicious!” or “Fuck!” You notice it just the way it is. The ultimate idea, like the theory of relativity, doesn't just come to mind. The image as it is originally embodies the truth. That is enlightenment. Since everything is contained in the tea, Morimasu, and Morimasu, is taken as it is.

I wrote something pretty, but I really don't like it when it's too bitter, so let's brew well from the beginning. Therefore, it is also necessary to value the environment to some extent.

I think “if you just sit at a zazen session...” is a common misteaching. Even when I'm just sitting, I'm just dazed. I'm not zazen.

It's not something you can enlighten if you sit in a zazendō with your legs crossed. Zazen isn't just about sitting. It's about learning and getting to know yourself thoroughly. And live according to the way it is. I meditate 24 hours a day, not just when sitting. Time spent eating, bathing, using the toilet, and watching TV is also zazen meditation.

If you look at it, you can see the object in the same direction as it is. There, there is no past or future, just the state of “now” as it is. There is no loss or gain. There's no good or bad. There is no suffering. The moment you recognize it as “now,” it becomes the past.

Just like how the eyes work, the mind also moves in the same way. If you look closely at the facts and take a close look at things that you think are worries or suffering on a daily basis, you will notice that they have quickly disappeared. When you handle your thoughts, they become suffering, but if you leave them as they are, they will disappear.

Such a thing “exists within me as a fact.” Realizing that and living there thoroughly is a way to be saved. You don't do anything with your way of thinking. The first thing to do is to be aware of your own facts.

All acts are impermanent, laws are unaffected.
If you really understand it, you can be saved by this.
However, most of the Buddhist books circulating in the world [have different interpretations], so they cannot be saved from their roots.
For example, even if various acts are impermanent, almost all of the world's Buddhist books are roughly written about this.
(No`) “Nothing changes constantly, like cherry blossoms cutting down (crying), fall leaves scattering, and nothing remains the same. I too will be like this someday, ah, change change, flow, ion ion (sense of impermanence)”
Furthermore, most Japanese Buddhism has negative Buddhist ideas such as “the fear of things” described in textbooks, so I wonder who can be saved.
That kind of thing isn't Buddhism or anything. It's disastrous Buddhism ❝ thinker ❞ nonsense.
It just makes people feel pessimistic. When and who made Buddhism so negative? That's because people have put “interpretations” into it.
Buddhism also becomes a mess, depending on who interprets it.
When I was in college, I also looked up interpretations of “impermanent conduct, no laws, no nirvana silence” in various literature and thought, “So what happened!” I even felt angry.
None of this is because there is no salvation there.
This is because most of them are simply phenomenological interpretations.
However, it was just Padennen, the Buddhist scholar who interpreted it and me.
Buddhism, interpreted by people who have not attained enlightenment, is simply thought because there is no enlightenment or salvation. Literally ❝ there is no way to save ❞ it's Buddhism. There is such a thing as Buddhism, so be careful.
A place called a university is not a place where there are enlightened people; it is a desk-top Buddhist thought center where people develop their own opinions using Buddhism as materials, and it was zero for me when it came to whether there was salvation that lived there.
So what happens when an enlightened person interprets impermanence?
Everything is always new, and you have already been freed and set free from it. What I had been thinking about until a moment ago and everything I had been thinking about came to an end there, so now I have nothing but what is right in front of me.
Our hearts, too, are always being saved away from what was before, away from what was before.
Every second, it is being reborn on a cellular level. They explain that this body and mind are ❝ saved ❞ at all times. If you want to know about living acts impermanent, lawlessness, and nirvana silence with salvation, please come to Toyama's zazen session when you have free time.
