What Does it Mean to Believe in Yourself?
by Zen Master Tan Wol
If I tell you to believe in yourself, you have to find out who you are. Then you can believe in yourself. But what kind of ‘self’ do you believe? (Hit the floor!) When this is clear and solid, ‘True I’ appears. Believe that. It’s not about your idea, judgment, or being confident, whether you can do this or that or not, or other people’s prejudice about myself. All of these are based on your ideas, or your thinking mind. But believing in yourself is getting stronger with this point, (Hit the floor!) Because that is your ‘True I.’
