Enigmatic ?
People says that the Buddhism is the enigma.
Well, if the person says it’s an enigma, the person knows it half.
Half ? —– Yes the person already learned half of it !
It’s remarkable, despite the Buddhism is in the enigma.
Why it’s in enigma ? = Because the Buddhism is not teaching
the crucial matter in the words.
Why ?
Because, to learn it without the words is crucial, therefore
it wouldn’t be taught or explained by the words.
So, to know the situation and able to describe its Enigma is a
sure sign of that the person did come half way. = It’s great.
Well done.
(The point of this was described in this post.) = and as the story
tells, it’s point / secret was not clearly understood even by the
Lord Buddha’s closest disciple Ananda.
—– Because the teachings of Selfless or learning of selfless has
to be done in Selfless = It’s mean without the person aware of it
= couldn’t be told / couldn’t be heard. = Once you consciously
heard the word / explanation, your conscious / Self become
aware of it = it IS a breakdown of the Selfless.
Lord Buddha taught Selfless in this way (could anyway else ?) =
so, the Buddhism was seen to be an Enigma.

Hence, you have to learn Buddhism / Zen in a Selfless way = it’s
mean you just do the practice until you get the Selfless state =
Mushin (Mind of no-mind).
And when you become able to live in the selfless way, you are
NOT conscious of your state, therefore you can NOT able to
observe yourself = you can NOT describe it in the words.
= So, you don’t know what it IS, nor others know either !
Everything stays in the depth of Subconscious.
Therefore, the Buddhism stays in Enigma.
—– IS it clear ? (= it’s a paradox isn’t it !) 😀
