9-18 Zen ≠ Anxiolytics

from Zen Talking Hosted by ewk

r/zen is a reddit forum about Zen scholarship, study, and practice. Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/zen/comments/15rfjyf/why_are_your_here_or_why_zen_anxiolytics/ Post Summary: Gasdark - I recently made a post asking redditors whether or not they were afraid of their own thoughts. Though a small sample size, of 12 respondents, 9 indicated that, to some degree or another, they were. The Sixth Patriarch heard a monk quote a verse by Wolun saying, "Wolun has a skill, able to cut off a hundred thoughts; when mind is not aroused in face of objects, enlightenment grows day by day." The patriarch said, "This verse does not clarify the ground of mind; if you practice based on this, it increases bondage." Accordingly he presented a verse saying, "Huineng has no skills, does not cut off a hundred thoughts. Mind is aroused repeatedly in face of objects; how can enlightenment grow?" https://www.reddit.com/r/zen/comments/16jxea8/no_escape/ Zen Teaching: Huineng and Baizhang Post Cast Overview: Exercise in empathy? Middle fingers. Fighting with other people who run a script. Why are people suffering? Self injury or self medication. Who/what is ordinary? Zen Lineage: www.reddit.com/r/zensangha/wiki/getstarted
