excerpted from Silent Retreat Vol. 72 ~ Q&A Sessions (2019) (Day 7)

"So just stop there-I don't know how. I don't know how. See, you hit 'I don't know how', but something's still trying to know how, right? Just drop that trying to know how, and just stick with I don't know how. And when there's I don't know how completely...I really don't have any idea how to let go-I'll be darn-none whatsoever, and that's the letting go. Just stop trying to succeed...Join with completely absolutely 'I don't know how' is total surrender itself..."

I wonder if it's the same with trust - I really have a problem with. Don't know how to trust... will that be the answer?

[@sasha0ixland]

seems to me that trust isn't something that will start to happen once i know how to do it. more like, when perception isn't clouded by thought it can be seen that everything happens by itself, and trust is already here anyway.
