With palms together,
Good Morning All,
Enlightenment. Powerful word. Lots of people searching for it, most with only a vague feeling as to what it is. Which creates a question in my mind. If we do not have a clear idea as to what this is, why are we searching for it?
Do we think enlightenment will make us feel better? Think better? Be better people? Will it make us superior to the next person? Will it be a sign that we are somehow special, or that we have finally arrived?
When you come to the practice of Zen, check your motives rather than your enlightenment.
Seeking satori is a big problem. To search means that we are looking. And when we are looking, we are too busy to be present. Stop looking.
Be well.

I figure enlightenment is so gradual a change you never even notice it.
don't know why I think that though..
