* FUNNY STORY (1)
Many years ago I was talking with my friend about the Zen.
When I said ” The matter of the Zen is to control one’s subconscious”.
My friend said ” No, subconscious is outof one’s control”.
So, I told him “Have look, as you got young daughter, you must have noticed, when she wear mini-skirt
her body movement become completely different, and she does it unconsciously”.
“Another sample is the time when we encounter an escalator which is not moving. When we step on it we
almost tumble as the body is adjusting to the expected movement.
But it couldn’t happen in the second time. And we are not necessary consciously thinking about it”
—— A question here, if we can behave or act without conscious, WHO is operating the puppet / us.
(Of cause now all we know it is the programed movement in our motor legion of the brain)
This is what the Mantra described “Mind is there as it is not there, therefore it is there”
(Before the notion of Subconsciousness was defined, it was so difficult to explain the
phenomenon even to the Buddha himself, and made the follower to puzzle.
The Buddhism to find the notion of Alaya (close meaning to subconscious) is
300 years after Buddha’s death.)
Any how my friend was convinced that this phenomenon is the one of element of the Zen.
The conscious of wearing mini-skirt, went down deep into the subconscious, and started to
control her behaviour.
So, when you were re-programed or put a conscious of that you are a Buddhist, deep down
into your invisible subconscious, you start to behave and live as a Buddhist.——Provided,
you know what the Buddhist is, in the same time.
And this is the reason why all the Buddhist sects employ the physical practice as a part of
the Buddhism study. Since, physical practice goes into subconscious faster as a routine.
—————-? ? ? Really ?
Once you have been re-programed, you no longer spread your legs wide open.
Though, I wouldn’t imply that’s the reason why Buddhist is not sexy. Ha Ha Ha 🙂
