Let it Go !
In somebody’s blog (apparently a follower of the Zen Buddhism) I’ve stumbled an interesting word
” Who stole my Zafu ( small cushion for sitting)”
—– its mean, without Zafu he couldn’t meditate, hence he couldn’t get enlightenment = somebody is
obstructing him to get enlightened. And saying, not let it go = not giving away the secret / keep it for
oneself is a greed and envy of others getting the truth. It is the monopoly of the truth.
I couldn’t stop burst into laughing. 😀 😀 ( But he is a very honest man !)
The person is quoting some words of past Masters, so has read some books and saying ” not let it go—”
indicates he is not a beginner though —– ? ? ? —– I wonder isn’t he aware what he is saying, itself
contradict the logic ? —– If “let it go” is the matter, why he is keep asking ?
Yes, Don’t bother any more “Just let it go” —– do it without Zafu.
—–
Looks funny though, the most crucial question is “let it go — of What ? ” Is there anything to let go ?
A novice and even a (at least the years past) seasoned Buddhist having this misconception —– but the
meaning of let it go is, Let go such notion itself.
In fact, in order to keep their “authority”, the establishment (and the so-called teachers) are pretending
to hold the Ark though, there is nothing in it, other than the Myth —– in its best, otherwise a deception.
That is why, the past Great Masters who found it, all described it as a Dog Shit.
Simply because the Truth, only the Truth is the Dharma. And the Dharma is here already.
But to see the Dharma (in fact to see anything) need to see it with clear eyes, without having any
preconception, deluded idea, Ego, even the Self itself —— hence need to be in Mushin.
Strangely you might feel, it include the notion of the Buddhism too.
If you having a belief that you are a Buddhist, you are not enlightened Buddhist but the one
only pretending or showing off.
(Don’t ask me, “If it is the case, why my blog is here”. Please read the earliest post.—– It was my Karma)

So, you may ask, If it is the case, What is the point to be a Buddhist ?
Well, the answer is only you can find it out. It is not a Sale Item nor fancy gadget. There is no catalog.
It might come, might not come though, the one thing definitely certain is, as long as you expecting it,
it never come. Because you hadn’t let such idea go.
———- In my case, it seems the Dharma is keep watching me and keep giving me the sign,
in a form of the number (where ever I go, or do what so-ever — rather annoying) (Ref; 8150 Story)
So far, having quite peaceful life without getting ill —– might be thanks to the Dharma —– or
might be just a sheer coincidence. Who knows. But what do I need to ask more ? Neither I care.
( I suppose, I did let any expectation go long time ago —– may be. I don’t remember 😀 )
The beauty in the Buddhism is its carefree life. I even don’t need to remember that I’m a Buddhist 🙂
( The secret behind is, the life style itself has been simplified and it is carried out without need to think about,
other than something new and creatively challenging. So, Just do it. —– I’m perfectly contented ! )
So, be relaxed, don’t bother Zafu. You can sit in anywhere —– isn’t this, an enlightened freedom ?
