Here at Stift Reichersberg in Austria, we held a 7-day Chan practice retreat.
We should break through the rigidity in terms of our habitual thinking process.
Our heart is originally the true form without form, but it starts springing into action and taking on forms in following the whims of outside things and human emotions.
To let go means to rest. Resting is Bodhi (awakening). Resting is our awareness, our nature.
when we practice Chan , let us not be so concerned about our precious little selves, being afraid of this pain here or that pain there.
If we want to find our enlightened nature, that which is unborn and never dies, we have to start from seeing through the things in our outside environment.
