from SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery · host Sokuzan
We tend to rationalize anything we don’t understand. We don’t want to look at the fundamental situation. Anytime you jump to some sort of idea about what’s happening, you abandon what’s right in front of you. Ego does not want to lose its fuel supply of rationalization about everything. Look at the chaos in the world. The situation we are in is dependently arisen in its multiplicity and its complete illusory nature, yet it has not occurred at all. If you think so, you’re going to fight. This is the Buddha’s basic teaching of impermanence; all compounded things will vanish. Sit down and just receive what arises in your mind stream without the rationalization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBDkYsfKFaI
