Questioner: "... what can I do to become awakened to my own mind?”
Hakuin: What is that which asks such a question? Is it your mind? Is it your original nature? Is it some kind of spirit or demon? Is it inside you? Outside you? Is it somewhere intermediate? Is it blue, yellow, red, or white? This is something you must investigate and clarify for yourself. You must investigate it whether you are standing or sitting, speaking or silent, when you are eating your rice or drinking your tea. You must keep at it with total, single-minded devotion. And never, whatever you do, look in sutras or in commentaries for an answer, or seek it in the words you hear a teacher speak
The kids are eating breakfast. The dog is sleeping. 🙏🙏🙏

( and also...) the old oak tree in front of your house!
@@siewkonsum7291 Is that the truth?

A bird is chirping outside my house.
When no answer is required.
Attachment to name and form. No name and form. Using name and form.
@@JasonQuinnZen when no answer is required, no response needed, silence, rest, waiting.
Attachment to name and form= commitment. No name and form, none, non. Using name and form, as wearing a garment, wearing a garment, living a life.
@@Homeheart1 Thank you for being here.
@@JasonQuinnZen No worries, mate.
