06.04.1998 - Interpretation of dali48
The Zen priests:
They are now to leave the "house", the fertile loneliness, to mix in the everyday life, in the dispersion of a life that they have renounced ...
They make painful experiences:
from polite indifference to gross refusal, disrespect, contempt. Yes, even hatred they encounter - hatred of envy ...
Should they tell of their blissful vision, like the painters in the picture? - Should they preach that man under the desire never becomes free? - But preaching means making words. That does not belong to the style of Zen. The only thing to do, apart from help in every form, is to show - that the reign of desire, the world law of cause and effect, can be broken - And since they are of disarming humility, one doesn't close oneself nor against it - You can not preach forbearance, patience, mercy, compassion and demand to others, without fulfilling yourself these demands irreproachably and exhaustively - For not what they say, but after what they are, they are measured - Rhetoric is not very popular in Zen. It is not how edifying he speaks, but how he builds himself, and decides - For most people, the desire is so ingrained that it seems hopeless - Not only rule of desires is to be found, but evil mind: cruelty, treachery, dishonesty etc. - The naive senses are still the most accessible and most agreeable - But otherwise the malicious who know the opposite of good - bad, and consciously reject the good, yes even hate it - He sees what in plants and wildlife does not exist: the abysmal mendacity of man - The animal does not pretend, does not play roles, does not wear masks - Is there a Buddha nature of every human being? - Who rejects greed, because imprisoned in ideas-greed, has not yet progressed from the bottom - The priest will be beware of talking about Buddha or Zen - i.e. for example, about the happiness that happens to you, do not rejoice, as if it happens to someone else - And under suffering that happens to others, do not suffer differently, as if it happens to you - Yes, even: to be able to honestly rejoice over other's joy even if it brings suffering to you (for example, if someone else is preferred to you), as being saddened by other people's suffering, even if that which causes the other's suffering brings you joy - That love that no longer turns into hatred is not like a blazing flame, which sinks back into itself, but like a quiet ember, evenly nourished by itself - And animals, otherwise shy and timid, are trusting ... (E. Herrigel)
Eugen Herrigel (20 March 1884 – 18 April 1955) was a German philosopher who taught ... This later formed the core of his most famous work Zen in the Art of Archery. In the book, Herrigel only briefly mentions the Master's name [Herrigel ...
