Fate is the ultimate Zen-master
My stories
till now were all about the way to heaven, the TaoTeChing. I was digging deeper
and deeper to find the water as the spring. So I came to the Zen Buddhism, who
comes for me the most near to the working of my own mind. The straight line
through Zen is to follow the rules of the universe. I lived many years on what
they call in Zen the way, the Tao. Now some days ago I thought I stop working, I
stop moving, and I was going in the absolute quietness with contact with no one.
I thought this is the end of my duty on earth. There were no emotions in that,
only I reached the water of the spring in my meditations. And a new life started
for me. It was clear to me that I had only talked about the physical reactions
of the macro cosmos and that spring told me the macro cosmos, that is the
universe, and the micro cosmos are one. So I was on the end of my Tao and I
stand on the beginning of the macro cosmos and micro cosmos are one.
To be one to live is to be free of all yes and no. It is going to live in Mu,
what is the word in Zen. It means no choice, and that means to be in the heart
of fate.
And fate is the ultimate Zen-master. It is just being.
