And what a relief this can be!

Sekishi,
It is interesting that you say this can be a "relief". That word often comes to mind when I try to think of what zazen is. It's a relief. A relief of not having to prop up and constantly support this made up concept, this self invention, this cockamamie idea of what I sometimes think self is.

I find it to be truly a relief. This is not mine, this I am not, this is not myself,
yet I exist.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
Oh how I wish he'd go away!

Hi Kyonin

While browsing the forum I found you.
While sitting I lost myself,
and no-one could be found.
And yet....

While sitting with the cloud of experience, a thought rang clear as a bell: This is not me, this is not mine.
