Thirst For Otherness - 01-16-22 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org

from SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery · host Sokuzan

Craving, desire, or greed for otherness is just a basic way of saying we want something else. This constant inner chatter about ourselves and who we are is substantiating and validating a “someone” who’s doing something. When it ramps up it fuels the believability in the separation and the promise that you can actually get your heart’s desire. Just observe the clutching action of the mind without correcting it. Nothing is broken. The ancient practice of shikantaza is a way observing whatever is arising in your mind as dependent origination. Start now. https://youtu.be/rH3vw9_nTQo
