Letting The Mind Go
All the complexes and problems of the mind arise from its
overcrowding and congestion. The cure isn't to reform it but
just let it go where it wants to go. We are now letting it go
where it belongs. A tremendous relief! It is not perfecting
the mind, because the mind is imperfect in every way. Still
one experiences sadness and confusion and anxiety, pain,
as well as positive feelings. But they are seen as
characterising the world and not as personal hang-ups. This
relocation helps a lot, but is no recipe for continuous
happiness or any kind of perfection where happiness and
perfection don't belong. Only at Centre are you All Right!
(1977 interview with Douglas Harding, by Richard Lang)
Only when you find no things in your mind and find Mind in
no things, are you empty and spiritual, formless and
marvellous. (To-shan Hsuan-chiou)
To know our Mind is to obtain liberation. To obtain liberation
is to attain the Samadhi of Prajna, which is being without
thoughts. Being without thoughts is seeing and knowing
all things with a mind free from attachment But to refrain
from thinking of anything, so that all thoughts are
suppressed, is to be Dharma-ridden, and this is an
erroneous view. (Hui-neng)
