"To understand, stop trying. The answer is not in thought."

"Remembering to pay attention at all times (sati) is the formula that Buddha established. From that observation point, body, feeling, mind, and phenomena could be seen clearly. Bankei would say:
'There's nothing you need to attain. Just be aware of how your mind gets pulled away and stop going along with it. That's all.'"

Bankei

Angekettet an dieses

vergängliche, brennende Haus,

entzündest du selbst das Feuer,

nährst die Flammen,

die dich verzehren.

#Bankei Yōtaku's #Zen teaching centers on the "#Unborn" #BuddhaMind, an immediate, unfabricated awareness accessible to all, beyond ritual or doctrine. His radical approach reframes #Buddha-Nature as natural clarity, emphasizing direct recognition over attainment. A unique voice in Japanese #Buddhism. Read more about it in my new blog post:

Everyday #Buddhist: Everybody's mind is the Buddha Mind, which is originally enlightened, so it's not something that is 'born' or that 'dies'.

Morning meditation:
‘Enlightenment and delusion never existed at the start. They’re ideas that you picked up, things your parents never taught.’
