Enlightenment Means Just Do It by Zen Master Gu Ja

Enlightenment Means Just Do It by Zen Master Gu Ja

In this life it is not about our I and it is not about our gain or loss. What is this I? We cannot find it. Only don’t know. This very don’t know is our original nature! We are this don’t know, no matter in what situation and condition we are. So whatever it is, it is OK. Whatever we do, this don’t know is doing it. This don’t know is manifesting in ten thousand things, and the ten thousand things are manifesting this don’t know.

So living in this world means living this don’t know in each moment. Happiness comes: only happy. Sadness comes: only sad. Paradise is welcome. Hell is welcome too. Then we can use our happiness, our sadness and also the paradise and hell in order to help all beings. That is our job in this life and our direction. Enlightenment means just do it. So let us from moment to moment just do it!
