Become Immune or Irritated ?
When you read a post, like Key Mechanism in Zen Buddhists Mind you might have
mistaken that while doing repeated practice and keep receiving repeated same signal,
our brain automatically start ignoring it. —– Really ? Think it yourself.
In the real situation, such as when you hear the same CM repeating the same name
on the radio or TV, in most of the case you just feel annoyance and irritation =
our brain, our perception couldn’t stand of it. —– So, which is the true.
— the brain become immune or become irritated and mad ?

My explanation there was
“When a task was given by an order or from a situation in the life, first, it’s needed to
have a “Contemplation” some time interpreted as an acceptance, giving-up (to resist) or
determination to take the task (which ever it was passive or more positive, active way).
—–> And as it was accepted = no way else to go = have to face
the task head-on (this is called “Mindfulness”).
= “needed to have an acceptance” (whether, I’ll do / I have to do / I need to do).
This acceptance or determination, mind-set has to come first, preceding to the act.
And this determination = the conviction “I’ll DO” makes the same task, such as
sweeping the garden, from just a task to the practice to reach the Enlightenment.
Lord Buddha did know this from the beginning therefore in his earliest teachings of
“Four Noble Truth” he said
1) The Life is in sufferings.
2) There was the cause of those sufferings. (because of Karma, hence impermanence)
3) So, it is necessary to (actively) seek the way to escape from the sufferings.
4) And the Buddhism is the way to overcome those sufferings.
Lord Buddha didn’t go any deluded idea, how this world was created by whom kind
of mumbo-jumbo but straight into the reality of the life = It IS the sufferings, and
telling the people to accept it first.
First to accept, then seek the remedy. And the way to seek the remedy is the way of
the repeated practice. So that, the repeated same signal in the brain doesn’t cause
the repulsion but just accepted, then got used => ignored => so, the person become
immune to such signal while carrying out the daily life = => become immune to
the sufferings in the life general => able to live in peace without feel sufferings = is the
Enlightenment. (What a clever magic or the clever design of the brain mechanism !)
= this is the mechanism (the Dharma) everybody was born to have
= therefore, anybody can get the Enlightenment !
= This is THE beauty of Buddhism.
